By American nobles I meant what Yakima Chief produces as part of their cryo hops
Denny, I know you're a fan of Mt. Hood. And I am too. I think they would probably work out nicely.


As far as a grain bill goes, I really like Maris Otter or Golden Promise, and about 5-7% Special Roast. All the darker bitters just don't interest me. Boddingtons is king. I absolutely love that beer.

Oh, I agree, but American nobles provide some unique qualities, too.  And  by American nobles, I don't mean things like Mt. Hood.
If not Mt. Hood, then what specifically? Like US Golding, US Sterling, US Tradition...?

Hmm, interesting. I have not heard of this till now. Doubt I'll be using them. But good to know what you all are referring to when you say American Noble Hops.

Thanks for the link. Those prices don’t seem bad at all.

It's not a type of hops, more a product.  Here's a link: https://www.yakimachief.com/wp-content/uploads/American-Noble-Hops-Product-Overview.pdf

Yes it was to say acres. Have they expanded a little in the last couple of years?

A little bit but not that much, I wouldn't have said it ever got down to 1800, but frankly these days I can't remember where I left my phone half the time, so don't quote me!  ::)

That number shocked me a few years ago, so it stuck in my mind.

Look at the IHGC report in the link. UK is at 917 hectares, or 2266 acres in 2020, down from 958 hactares in 2019.
