Message SaintMatty beers 10530 º places 381 º 15:21 Thu 2/12/2015 Originally posted by Sigmund Bullion. Originally an English hop, but now seems to be grown in America. I have never knowingly had a beer with this hop in it but I am curious and have been tempted to get some shipped from over the pond.

Message Marko P admin beers 17710 º places 866 º 21:18 Thu 2/12/2015 Funny to see Aurora mentioned here. It was infamous around these parts - the only hop grown commercially in Croatia at a point really - really only around this one village/town/whatever. And let’s just say it wasn’t well liked (even taking into account that it’s a bittering hop). (Home)brewers getting Aurora from somewhere else, however, were shocked to discover something different... and in a good way. The funny bit? It hasn’t been grown for years, at least 3 years, but the growers’ union still has stocks apparently and sells them to the couple of a couple of part old-fashioned part ignorant little micros/brewpubs here that consider hops to be a necessary evil.

Message HornyDevil 05:31 Fri 2/13/2015 Originally posted by theRunningBoar And I don’t think these differences can solely be explained by different growth, harvest and production methods The same grape vines growing in different soil under different microclimates harvested at different times produce different tasting grapes. Same scenario.
Message MagicDave6 P beers 1 º places 1 º 05:44 Fri 2/13/2015 Hop harvest vary so much it doesnt matter. Breweries use the hop to fit the profile of the beer, not tailor the beer to go with what is seasonal.
