Celebrating Hops Far and Wide
Time Hops explores the world's favourite hops and their impact on beer as we know it! We've created four unique hop-forward beers inspired by pivotal times & places where growers and brewers made the magic happen.
STRATA
Strata, bred in Washington, USA, shows the incredible connection between science and nature. Popping with strawberry, dank and tropical complexity, we’re capturing its delicious potential in this soft, hazy IPA.
We've teamed up with Fort George for this beer - a well know and loved Brewpub and production brewery based out of Astoria Portland. They were among the first to use this hop in the world! Strata is an example of innovation and breeding of hops to suit modern brewers.
GALAXY
Australia’s Galaxy is one of the most enigmatic hops of the past twenty years, dripping with essential oils and delivering incredible flavour. We’re showing off its finest in this Aussie-inspired hazy IPA.
At one time, Galaxy was absolutely everywhere - the darling hop of craft beer. We've worked with Australian outfit Mountain Culture on this, taking advantage of their local knowledge. We've made this IPA in their style, building the profile in the right way to show off Galaxy.
SAAZ
Czech Saaz (or Žatec) is one of the most revered hops in history, delivering delicate floral notes and noble character since the 14th century! We're celebrating its legacy in this traditional Bohemian pilsner.
Jarosovský Pivovar is an original Czech brewery dated back to the 16th Century – sold to Heineken who shut the brand down a while ago, and brought back to life by some locals. The team focus on local malt, local hops and traditional methods.
Through this traditional Czech Pils, we'll be exploring the influence of Saaz on beer as we know it.
NELSON SAUVIN
New Zealand’s Nelson Sauvin is one of the most distinctive hops of the modern era, bursting with gooseberry and white wine characteristics for over two decades! We’re showcasing its beauty in a Double IPA, inspired by a beer almost as famous…
Nelson Sauvin has made a mark in the UK, and it's one of our favourite hops of recent years. We've paired it with a fantastic brewery - Garage Project. Their IPA, Pernicious Weed, is a fondly remembered beer by us, as we brought a keg over for our Rainbow Project party in 2016 and it stole the show. It's an honour to be brewing this modernised version in the UK.
Gone but not forgotten....
We first hosted our Time Hops celebration back in 2022, where we used Cascade, Centennial, Simcoe and Citra-Mosaic in four larger-than-life beers in collaboration with four classic USA based craft breweries.
