Description
Northern Brewer was originally developed in England in 1934 but is now largely grown in Germany.
Northern Brewer (GR) is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas.
German Northern Brewer hops have aroma descriptors that include mint, pine and grass. It displays pleasant pine and mint characteristics most in dual purpose brewing applications.
