Description
The first successful hop developed from the African Breweries Hops Farms Ltd. in 1972. An open pollinated cross of Fuggle.
South African hops are usually harvested in the late summer months, which is typically around late February into March.
Southern Brewer is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas.
It is considered a bitter hop with no outstanding aroma qualities.
