DISCOVER THE BIG, BOLD, FRUITY FLAVOR OF AUSSIE HOPS.
American brewers have found a lot to love about Aussie hops, and HAAS is proud to be the exclusive U.S. distributor of six of Australia’s best hops that are grown by our partners at HPA. From the subtleties of Ella™ to the big-hitting flavor of Eclipse® and the resinous glitter of Topaz™, you’ll want to try them all.
A SIX PACK OF HOP FLAVOR, STRAIGHT FROM AUSTRALIA
HPA is Australia's largest hop grower, backed by a team of experts in plant breeding, farm operations, customer service and brewing support. Their farms in Southern Tasmania and North-East Victoria have been growing hops for more than 150 years, and together they grow 90% of Australia’s hops. Each farm is set in the foothills of a mountain range where the summer days are long, the soil is rich, and the water is abundant.
"We are passionate about hops and have been proud to produce many great hop-forward beers over the years. We have a robust single hop brewing trial program that gives us inspiration and informs how we approach using new hops from around the world. We fell in love with Galaxy, Vic Secret, and Ella from doing these single hop trials.” —Jeremy Moynier, Stone Brewing
