Hop Oils – Innovation Rooted in Tradition

Hop oils are highly aromatic compounds extracted from the hop plant (Humulus lupulus), known for their powerful influence on the scent and flavor profile of beer. These concentrated oils are often used to enhance aroma without adding bitterness, making them especially popular in modern brewing techniques like dry hopping or post-fermentation additions. They deliver a wide range of sensory notes, including citrus, herbal, earthy, and fruity tones, depending on the hop variety used.

Beyond the brewing world, hop oils are also valued in other fields such as natural health and fragrance production, where their soothing and aromatic properties are utilised in products like essential oil blends and diffusers. With their intense character and precise application, hop oils offer a flexible and effective way to capture the signature qualities of hops in both beverages and beyond.

Why Hop Oils?

Hop oils are concentrated extracts of the essential aroma and flavour compounds found in hops. They allow brewers to dial in intense aroma characteristics with precision, reduce beer loss, and simplify dry hopping procedures. Whether you’re brewing a bold IPA, a crisp lager, or a creative small-batch experiment, hop oils can offer you a host of benefits:

Enhanced Aroma Precision – Target specific profiles with stunning clarity.

Reduced Waste – Minimal vegetal matter means better yield and easier cleanup.

Year-Round Consistency – Avoid batch variation and supply limitations.

Energy and Cost Savings – Lower freight, storage, and loss in the brewhouse.
