Hop Guide
HOPS!!!! The Guide
We strive to keep the following varieties in stock, either in small or bulk quantities. Please note, however, that due to various factors often beyond our control, we may not have the varietal you are looking for. Refer to “substitutions.” Also, there are always new cultivars hitting the market. We do our best to keep up and add them as available. Cheers!
