Northern Brewer Hops are a classic in the world of homebrewing known for their unique woody, minty, and herbal aroma. First bred in England in 1934 from a cross between a Canterbury Golding and a male seedling of Brewer's Gold, Northern Brewer was later grown in both the UK and Germany, where it gained popularity. Today, it’s a favorite among home brewers crafting traditional Bocks, California Commons, and Porters.
Its signature minty-woodsy character makes it a go-to bittering and flavor hop when brewing old-school lagers and hybrids. In fact, it’s the signature hop in classic Anchor Steam Beer.

What does Northern Brewer taste like?
Northern Brewer delivers earthy, woodsy, and minty flavors with subtle spice. It’s a bold, rustic hop well-suited for darker or maltier beer styles.

Yes. While it’s commonly used for bittering due to its alpha acid content, its complex aroma makes it effective in late additions too.
