For more than a decade, IPA, in all its variants, ruled the craft beer world. It’s a beer style built on hops. While IPA ruled the world, so did hops. But as the beer world has evolved, so have hop products. No longer is it enough to throw a ton of the latest hop variety into a hazy beer. New hop products can be used differently, add new flavors and aromas and change mouthfeel.
In this bonus episode, sponsored by Hopsteiner, we talk about how brewers can think about hops in a whole new way–not just IBUs and oils, but texture and mouthfeel. And while hop varieties were, for a while, chasing tropical flavors, new varieties are supporting the current trend toward lagers.
