Hop Variety Characteristics and Specifications

Brewers Gold was developed by Professor Salmon at Wye College with the aim to combine the high resin content of American hops with European style aroma. It is now primarily grown in Europe.Brewers Gold can be used for clean bittering, but will provide hedge fruit characteristics when combined with darker malts.Brewers Gold is an open pollinated seedling of a wild Manitoba hop plant and was first produced in 1919. Alpha contents are greatly influenced by environmental conditions and therefore can vary quite significantly from year to year.
