| The parent of Brewer’s Gold hops was a wild hop name BB1 that was found growing in Manitoba. It was first looked at in 1916 by a guy named Macoun who was working as a professor at Wye College in England. By 1919, Professor E.S. Salmon had bred BB1 with some native UK varieties to make Brewer’s Gold. Brewing trials were conducted by local breweries in 1933 and 1934 to test out the new hop variety. The official release year of this hop in 1934. With a resiny, spicy aroma and flavor along with hints of black currant. It also should be noted that it is grown on limited acerage today. Brewer’s Gold is a parent of many of the new high alpha acid hop varieties. It is typically used for bittering mostly. | ||
