NORTHERN BREWER

Brewing Classic from Greynrus Khmel

The Northern Brewer hop variety has long been an industry standard. Originally bred in England in 1934, it evolved from a local experiment into the cornerstone for thousands of recipes. Today, Greynrus Khmel successfully produces this variety, offering brewers a product that combines time-tested genetics with rigorous quality control at every stage of cultivation.

Agronomic Strengths and Crop Resilience

A standout characteristic of Northern Brewer is its robust resistance to Verticillium wilt. For growers, this ensures crop predictability and reduced risk in temperate climates. By choosing hops from Greynrus, producers gain access to a variety adapted to regional soil and climatic conditions without sacrificing any of its signature genetic qualities.

A Dual-Purpose Powerhouse

The uniqueness of this variety lies in its perfect balance between bitterness and aromatic profile:

• Alpha Acid: 8–12%. This makes Northern Brewer an effective tool both for contributing a clean, firm bitterness at the start of the boil and for adding subtle aromatic notes late in the process.
• Aroma Profile: Brewers prize this hop for its complex structure, featuring distinct citrus, herbal, and piney notes. This allows for the creation of beverages with a rich, well-rounded flavor profile.

Industry Application

Northern Brewer is the ultimate workhorse for breweries of all sizes. Thanks to its versatility, it fits seamlessly into the production of classic lagers, robust ales, and dark porters. Its ability to complement both light and dark malt bases makes it an essential component for any head brewer. Greynrus Khmel guarantees batch-to-batch consistency, which is critical for large-scale production where maintaining a recognizable flavor profile is paramount.
