MASHED ISSUE 22

An essential ingredient in most beers, hops are really fun to experiment with and we’re always on the lookout for new hops to use in our homebrewing recipes. Take a look at what we’re brewing with at the moment. 

If you like the look of these, you can enjoy exciting new (and trusted favourite) hops as a Hop Club member!

Harlequin® (UK)

A daughter of Godiva™, and grand-daughter of Jester®, Harlequin® was named after its remarkably patterned bracts. It was first offered commercially in 2019. Harlequin® bursts with New World aromatics whilst maintaining a subtle hint of UK terroir. Delicate and tropical in pale beers; it shows unique marmalade and candied fruit notes when used with coloured malts

Aroma: Passion fruit, peach, pineapple

Alpha Acids: 9.0-12.0 % | Beta Acids: 7-9 %

Total Oil: 1.0 - 1.8 ml/100g

Elaniâ„¢ (USA)

Initially named YQH-1320, Elani® was released commercially in 2021 by Yakima Quality Hops. This variety was originally discovered growing wild in a river valley in the northwestern U.S. state Idaho. A versatile hop, Elani® works really well in a mix or as a single hop, with clean, bright citrus notes and a base of warmer tropical fruit when used as a dry hop. High temperatures produce more stone fruit and watermelon characteristics.

Aroma: Pineapple, guava, lime, white peach, orange zest

Alpha: 9-11%

Total Oil: 1.3 - 2.0 mL/100g

DEVELOPMENT HOP CF299!

CF299 Hop (USA): This exciting Development Hop from Charles Faram was created in the UK but grown in the Yakima Valley in the USA.

Aroma: Lemon, peach, lime

Grain + Grape Does it Mix?

October 5th of this year marked the first International Italian Grape Ale (IGA) Day. Ever tried one? If not, then you might be asking: Italian grape ale? Is that a wine or a beer? Well, IGA is most definitely a beer. But it’s like a beer and wine got very friendly and had a baby. Made with up to 40% grapes or grape must, IGAs are based on pils malt, or pale malt.

In the haze of a lazy afternoon, or at the tail end of a long beery evening, few drinks offer the same effortless refreshment as a shandy or a radler.
