    BREWING NOTES BY BEER STYLE

    Endless possibilities. Here are a few that are tried and true.

    Flavor Tip: Helles / Pils / Kölsch

    Well proven in light American lagers, Willamette is just as well suited to more flavorful versions of lager beer. It may not jump out at you and announce its presence, but it will just taste great! A humble star indeed.

    Flavor Tip: Pale Ale

    Enough of the lovely combination that is floral, herbal and spice exists in Willamette to light up a Pale Ale in a rather English fashion.

    Flavor Tip: Blonde / Summer Wheat Ale

    If you’re looking for a hop that won’t steal the show, but will make the show more exciting, Willamette is a great choice for these summer crushers.

    Fresh flavor for your brew!

    ORIGINS

    Willamette

    Named for the valley in which it was born, Willamette was the primary aroma hop in Anheuser-Busch beers for years. This fantastic USDA cross on Old English Fuggle is a winner in beer.  Craft brewers know a good thing when they smell it too, embracing Willamette as a beautiful hop for low gravity beers.
