Great to see Cascade getting so much love. I moved from the US to Germany a few years back, and when I started brewing with the local cascade I was initially disappointed---definitely distinct from the PNW style. But I've grown to really appreciate its nuance. Love this idea of using cascade to explore hop terroir.
Hi Nate. We are regulars at Charlton and I know you'd recognize us if you saw us. We've been big fans and supporters of Tree House since the Brimfield days. Our 22 month old daughter's name is Alora. ❤
Great too see someone commenting on the regionality of cascade. I found over the years many people assumed it grew the same everywhere and wasnt giving the expression of the region like you correctly say. Spanish cascade is probably my new favourite, its very very similar to US grown big on lemon, whereas in Germany it goes very orangey and in the UK very earthy and floral. We used to get Aussie cascade in the UK but a domestic brewery took most of the supply and it wasnt exported any longer. Most people replaced with Vic Secret or Bru-1 so if youre doing a beer with either of those, certainly try a bit of Aussie cascade in again for a special twist.
Of new varieties, I’m a fan of Elani. To me it’s like Citra, but without the pith. In pale ales or lagers, Elani is great on its own. In IPAs it works well as part of a blend.
With all of the land and resources you guys have, you should totally breed your own in-house hop varieties. It would be something unique to the industry and you could have a hop farm right next door!
I was amazed to see that the st. bernardus brewery has a massive hop field. If you haven’t seen that brewery tour that just came out this week, check it out
I just brewed a hazy using 1019 , I was not too fond of it initially . But as I taste it and savor it , it’s tuggin on my tastebuds . I got a slight coconut note as the tropical , I may have overdosed but I’ll use it again and see what’s up .
Hi Nate, are we ever going to see some Treehouse beers over here in Australia? It's a big ask - but would be amazing to have some tap takeovers or cans. Asking from Melbourne. :D Great content as always.
I would love to get some Treehouse beers here in London too but I imagine importing them whilst keeping them fresh and constantly cold chained would be very difficult and expensive. Luckily we have some incredible Breweries here in the UK like Verdant, Track and Cloudwater for example but would be awesome to get some Treehouse to try.
Definitely all great contenders & hitters at the plate. I was really excited to hear HBC 1019 is gonna be getting used more. I'm pretty allured by Alora though, and will be waiting to see it hit the cans not too long from now - hopefully? 🤞😏😅
I have been growing cascade on cape cod for years and using it in my own home brew. I wonder how cape cod cascade compares to New Zealand Australian or pnw. I echo what other commentators have said “treehouse use some local hops!” I want to see sandwich have a beer with cape cod grown hops!!!
So weird. I have cascade hops that grow throughout my backyard and I'm not sure how to utilize the hop cones... could treehouse make a video on that????
brew a wet hop/green hop beer at harvest time. Fill them into your mash tun and use it like a big filter bed at the end of boil before transferring to the FV. Thats hop an english hop back works.

So, can we expect a new series featuring different cascade varieties, I would be all over that
We have been doing this for the last year. Trail Australian Cascade, Garston, NZetc
@@treehousebrewco if you could send me a few cans to Canada I would appreciate it, only get there when I can visit my daughter studying at TUFTS

Once again, cascade is the backbone of craft beer. Glad its my biggest producer in my backyard garden.
Love this!
They all sound great!!!! Cheers 🍻
Trialing new varieties has to be fun!!

That's great to hear; I just acquired some Elani recently, can't wait to try it.

I got to rub what is now Alora a few years ago in Idaho and I am happy it's coming to market now.

I was hoping “Pink” would make your list!!! Cheers!
I tried Doomfire last week in Deerfield, it was quite impressive. As for HBC 1019, give it a name for Pete's sake! It's good stuff, not a lab rat!
Ive used 1019 twice. So good.... used it with bru1 and damn, so amazing.

Morning Nate. How far in the future do you have hops sourced? A year, two....
Surprised not to see HBC-586. What's been your guys experience with it? I saw it a lot in the PNW experimental beers.
Alora sounds delightful!
What is your pilot system and process for new beers? Could make a great video!

Man they all sound promising
1019 rules. Also, regarding terroir, I tried michigan grown amarillo at homebrewcon and it tasted like straight up watermelon
