Hops in the beer recipe

Admiral and Golding hops are a classic British pairing that bring balance, depth, and tradition to any stout or porter beer recipe.

Admiral hops, known for their high alpha acid content, provide a firm but smooth bitterness. This bitterness supports the rich roasted malts typically found in stouts and porters.

With subtle citrus and herbal undertones, Admiral adds a modern edge while still respecting traditional English beer profiles.

Golding hops, on the other hand, are a quintessential English aroma variety. Their sweet, earthy, and slightly floral character blends seamlessly into darker beer styles.

When added late in the boil or during dry hopping, Goldings offer a refined aroma that complements coffee, chocolate, and caramel malt notes beautifully.

Used together these hops create a perfectly balanced beer with a structured bitterness and a delicate, traditional English finish.

Whether brewed for cask, keg, or bottle, this combination delivers a flavourful and aromatic experience. Perfect for homebrewers and craft beer enthusiasts alike.
