New Hops

Just to let you know about some new hops coming out in a couple of weeks:

Amarillo Hops - The Amarillo hop is perhaps one of the more uniquely flavoured varieties to emerge in recent years. Aroma is distinctively citrus with a unique 'fruit salad' flavour. Used for its aromatic properties, and also for its exceptional bittering properties (far smoother than Cascade) Alpha acids: 8-11%. It will be available in - 100g vacuum packed - £3.95, 1kg vacuum packed - £27.00. This will be in stock in a couple of weeks.

I am sure you are also aware that the Aurora hop became available last year. Alpha Acid - 8.6% Origin - Slovenia. Aurora (Super Styrians) hops are from Slovenia. This dual-purpose variety is great for bittering and aroma and can be used in all ales (and judiciously in some lagers).
We have found this is selling well. Price for this hop is 100g vacuum packed bag - £3.25, 1kg bag - £22.95. Already in stock.

Hop & Grape have been selling both for a while. I've used Amarillo and I like them a lot.

Crouch Vale Amarillo happens to be one of my favourite ales, if not the favourite. I can definitely feel a brew coming on!
