Alternatives to Bullion Hops

Post by Dave S » Sat Apr 07, 2012 6:18 pm

At some point I intend to brew a Dry Irish Stout. The recipe I have calls for Bullion as the main hop constituent, and it appears to be the variety Guinness itself used to use. This hop seems to be quite difficult to get hold of these days, so does anyone know of a reasonable alternate? I've heard Northern Brewer, Brewers Gold and Columbus.

Anyone got any thoughts on this?
Best wishes

Great, thanks C.J. Good to know that they are at least available from some suppliers.
Best wishes
