We are proud to present a Double Mountain and Solera Brewery collaboration, Ring My Bell Fresh Hop Cryo IPA. This beer uses Yakima Chief Hops’ experimental Trial 301 hops that utilize a new way of processing fresh hops.
Fresh hops in July, is that even possible? Well, here is how it works; hops are shucked from the bine during harvest. They are then flash frozen with liquid nitrogen and are processed like cryo hops, removing much of the vegetal matter and leaving behind a sticky, bright green pellet. Since they have not been kilned, there is still moisture and some good greenness left. The effect is a “fresh hop” cryo pellet, exhibiting the same aromas and flavors of a fresh hop, any time of year. They’re kept frozen until use.
This technology is in the beginning stages of development, so we are one of only a handful of breweries out there to use YCH Trial 301 to date.
