Where's that spiderman gif?! Great video folks - we concluded that while there is 100% terroir to the ingredients that go into brewing, with so much intervention in brewing and at least four ingredients, actually tasting it can be a lot more challenging. For us, the brewer has more impact that the climate, but that doesn't mean the terroir isn't both vital and fascinating as this video shows!
Just watched your video on beer and terroir. Now this shows up to watch. Both videos shows aspects about the philosophy of terroir. Cheers craft brew channel and Tree house! Drinking 2016 goose island gillian.
Outstanding video Nate. I was actually there the day you were filming this. While you were picking out your on-camera wear I told you "Nate, love the videos!" and this is a perfect example why. It is great to learn some nuances of beer brewing and it makes me a better taster/enjoyer knowing more about it. This attention to detail is what makes your beer so great! Can't wait until my beer box from my visit gets here today and I do believe I will have the Victoria version in there but now I wish I had both.
Brilliant marketing! In my humble opinion, this is as brilliant as placing the recipe on the cans with the end result of inviting the drinker to dive deep into the rabbit hole of craft beer.
Team, this is incredible. What an amazing video! I visited the brewery recently, and there was a "talking table" where a brewery associate was talking through all the differences of the citra hops. I forget his name, but he was so knowledgeable, and had just gotten back from the Czech republic! Definitely keep doing that! (Because I bought all three beers) and also it's just great to hear about how amazing Treehouse takes care of its employees :)
Galaxy is one of my favorite hops and a brewery I love here in NJ does an all galaxy hopped ipa that’s really good. But I also remember it being even better when they first released it years ago. Not sure where they source their galaxy hops from, but I wonder if what you speak of in this video is what’s affected their galaxy-only offering over the years 🤔
@@treehousebrewcothat’s very interesting. Question: what’s with all of the peanut shell/black licorice astringent bitterness that is present in most if not all Galaxy-hopped beers, and not just Tree House’s? In particular, Galaxy Many Ways Part II was quite harsh with that peanut shell astringency and I have yet to have a can of Green that has that same orange sorbet, canned pineapple quality that it used to have. The Galaxy hop simply does not have the same flavor profile since inception, in my opinion.
Picked both of these up on Friday as Galaxy is my much better half’s favorite hop. I’m not as big of a fan, but she did the Citra Many Ways w/ me, so I had to reciprocate. Tried them both over the weekend and came away with the same overall thoughts. Part 2 was sweeter and my favorite of the two; she liked part 1 better. Definitely a noticeable difference between the two, just like the Citra series. Great concept and series! Can’t wait for future offerings 🍻
I'm fortunate to live very close to the Galaxy (and other) hop farms in Victoria. No options for the homebrewer to buy direct but the drive through the valley past the farms in summer is lovely! I'll probably never taste a Tree House beer but we are spoilt for choice in our part of the world - Bright Brewery, Bridge Road Brewers, King River Brewing and Black Dog Brewery are all world class.
Great video! I just happen to buy two 4 packs of Galaxy many ways last week and I cannot decide which one I like. Both are great. But agree Victoria is smoother. Did not know that Galaxy hops only comes from Australia? Does Green have Galaxy hops and if yes from Victoria or Tasmania?
Nate, for the core beers, perhaps say Green, I’m sure there are subtle differences in the hops year to year, due to many factors. Has this been a challenge over the years from a brewing perspective? in other words managing it so you get your core beers consistent and the way you want them?
I rarely get anything that's over 8%, but the option to taste cans at Deerfield led me to buying Galaxy Many Ways 2 because it had so much clarity in its bitterness. If Trail Garston was always available I'd get it everytime... & hoping Eureka is still available in Deerfield on Monday so I can try for the first time...
Terroir is absolutely a factor in beer. Even in the same growing regions field to field differences can be huge. There is a canyon just north of Yakima, and the hops get a different micro climate there, and are noticably unique. I think Fremont does a beer each year showcasing them. As for beer vs wine in terroir... I think in wine it may have more of an impact. The grape is the factor in terroir, and the grape is like 💯 of the input. But in beer we modify our water to suit us, maltsters do a really good job homogenizing grain lots to meet a spec, and hop processors blend lots to hit numbers and sensory benchmarks. You highlighted citra from Wa OR and ID, but you could have done the same with citra from Moxee, Granger, and Lateral A and there probably would have been sensory differences (all parts of the Yakima valley for those that don't know). Man, I wish this series of beers made it out west! Enjoying these, and keep playing around and experimenting.
Continuing the great product line ideas. No reason why hops and grapes couldn't be viewed in the same light. This idea essentially derives from the fact that most wineries can make the exact same bottle of wine just with one grape variety sourced from different vineyards within the same region. I would imagine that was the goal here in displaying the potential in beer terroir across hop growers.
REALLY wish I could partake in this tasting... I am 100% going to brew 3 beers with the 3 different citra (if I can get my hands on the hops) cheers...
Plus brewtime addition of hops can change the outcome also. or the style of hops pellet will not taste like fresh cone. Not to mention the Cryo hops addition to aromatics to add or take away from flavor. Love your Videos brother. You send out good info ...Thanks
@@treehousebrewco WE are in great area for hops ,same variety at different fields are nothing close to the same. . Especially if you try to target consistency for replication.. Thanks for the videos brother.
Would there a significant difference in flavor if both hops were grown by two different farmers down the road from another? How much of the difference is truly from the region and how much of it is the lineage of the plant the farmer used and the farming techniques?
it depends. in some regions growing and soil conditions are very similar and in others it varies dramatically. harvest window is also an enormous determing factor.
In a galaxy-based beer like the green series - how do you factor the source of galaxy selection in? Can it vary on any given batch between hope farms/ is there an established ratio/ etc?
as selectors and brewers we've honed our capacity to keep it consistent by knowing exactly what we are looking for. the intention in our core beers is to limit variation.
Have you tried waiiti. It's what i have in my glass. Homebrew. It seems like a galaxy and nectaron cross. Very tropical and some dank combined. Give it a go/rub if you can next time.
@@treehousebrewco I'm 2 weeks after kegging. Homebrew. It is tasting even better. I'd inhale this hop if i could. It is very very good. My part time beer lover wife says it's very good. That is a high compliment.
Terroir and year by year differenciality is .....and should be a thing in every natural product... as consumers we have to stop the need of tasting similar products that've grown in different places. Cheers
@@treehousebrewco no, I meant the opposite, this experiment is very interesting, you should keep doing this, people must learn that a quality agricultural product should not be the same if grown in different places.. if for example you have a banana grown in different continents tastes exactly the same, then something goes wrong with it cultivar process. Sorry for my English if I confused you guys🥲

Thanks for watching!
I loveee the idea of this “all the ways” series. Please keep this up I want to try them all
Thanks, Nate. The information and knowledge that you share with us here on your channel is invaluable.

Great brewing concept. Thanks for the lesson! Now get your beers on Tavour so some who don't live anywhere near the northeast can enjoy them! 🤣

it depends on the crop year. Sometimes both, sometimes one or the other. We’ll make a different video on what we have done to ensure consistent.
