New Flavour Dimensions with Hop Oils and Extract

Abstrax Quantum Series • Yakima Chief Hops DYNABOOST® and HYPERBOOST® • Totally Natural Solutions

At Charles Faram, we’ve spent over 160 years cultivating, sourcing, and supplying some of the world’s best hops. But tradition doesn’t mean standing still. Brewing has evolved—and so have the tools we offer to help you keep pushing the boundaries of what beer can be. 

That’s where hop oils come in. 

So, What Are Hop Oils?

Think of hop oils as the turbocharged version of your favourite hops. They’re natural extracts that capture the aromatic and flavourful essence of hops, minus the leafy bulk. Imagine getting all that juicy tropical fruit, piney bite, or citrus punch—without the mess of dry hopping or the risk of losing yield. 

Whether you’re after intense aromatics, flavour layering, or just better brewhouse efficiency, hop oils offer a powerful new way to work with hops. 

Why Brewers Are Turning to Hop Oils

We’ve seen a big shift. Brewers aren’t just using oils as a supplement—they’re turning to them as a core tool in their brewing arsenal. And here’s why: 

  • Control & Precision – Want to dial in that grapefruit zest or passionfruit pop? Oils give you that kind of pinpoint accuracy. 
  • Brewhouse Efficiency – No more clogged tanks or losses to vegetal matter. Oils cut waste and streamline cleanup. 
  • Consistency – Alpha and availability of hop crops vary. Oils give you stable, reliable results batch after batch. 
  • Sustainability – Smaller quantities, lower shipping costs, and less waste = better for your bottom line and the planet. 

What’s in Our Hop Oil Range?

We’ve selected a trusted and innovative range of hop oil products, each designed to give brewers more flexibility and creative control: 

  • Single-Varietal Oils – From classics like Cascade and Chinook to modern favourites like Harlequin®, our single-variety oils let you fine-tune flavour and aroma with confidence. 
  • Fractionated Oils – Isolate specific aroma compounds (like citrus, tropical, resinous, or floral) to build the exact profile you want. 
  • Bespoke Blends – Brewers have worked with us and our supplier partners to craft custom blends tailored to a beer’s style or brand profile. 

Real-World Results

Brewers using these oils are reporting real benefits—not just in flavour impact, but in process control and sustainability. Some are replacing part of their dry hopping load to reduce tank time and beer loss. Others are using them in the whirlpool or post-fermentation for a late-stage aroma boost that doesn’t require a major process change. 

And let’s not forget shelf stability. Hop oils help beers retain their punchy, fresh-hop character far longer than traditional dry hopping alone. 

Let's Talk Innovation
