HBC, the Hop Breeding Company, is responsible for developing some of the most compelling hop varieties in contemporary beer—Mosaic, Citra, Talus, and Sabro are just a few of the aroma hops that they've developed. But how does a new hop variety come into being, and what drives its development? In this episode, Jason Perrault of Yakima Chief Ranches and Michael Ferguson of John I. Haas, two leading hop breeders in Yakima Valley and the driving forces behind the two-pronged HBC program, talk about what it takes to develop a new hop variety. They discuss: the typical decade-long timeline for developing a new hop variety defining objectives for new hops, from agronomic efficiency and yield to aromatic potency taking plants from seeds crossed from two promising parents, through single plant, 7 plant, and larger field plantings positive and negative selection for desirable and undesirable traits evaluating new hops using a consistent base recipe in test brewing achieving elite status and finding brewer champions for new varieties And more.

Straight from the freshest warehouse in Portland and just in time for the 2021 harvest, Adam Moses of Yakima Chief Hops joins the show! Adam is Noah's sale rep for YCH, a "grower-owned global hop supplier" that BBB gets the majority of its hop volume from each year. The conversation tries to demystify the Wonka-esque and (arguably) the most complex link in beer's supply chain link; really emphasizes the "grower-owned" aspect of the company, its structure, and overall ethos; and breaks down the immense time barrier that prevents growers from relying on quick, trend-chasing pivots Adam also breaks down an entirely new (and for Noah, extremely exciting) process YCH has developed -- in efforts to capture the notoriously mercurial character of wet hops, they have begun cryogenically flash freezes the freshly-picked cones directly after harvest (stay tuned for BBB's results in the next few months). Lastly, Adam quells Noah's fears that hops will one day become an unrecognizable product. Exciting, yet wholesome, times await. ............ ................. Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill
In this episode of the Hop And Brew School® Podcast, Justin Crossley and Nick Zeigler are joined by the infamous Jason Perrault from Yakima Chief Ranches. Jason and his team at their family farm are responsible for helping to bring many of the most famous and popular hops to market over the years, including brands such as Simcoe®, Mosaic®, Warrior®, Ekuanot®, and more! To help us learn about the life cycle of hops, Jason walks us through what factors hop breeders must take into account and grapple with when developing new hop strains. Things like yield, pest resistance, and even the varying harvest windows of select strains, only begin to scratch the surface during the long life cycle of a new hop being brought to market. Jason dives further into some of the specific varieties that have passed through his program throughout the years, and even gives us a glimpse of what we might expect to see in the future. This episode is a brewers dream if you're looking to understand more about the agricultural lifecycle of your brewing ingredients and how much science, creativity and sheer effort goes into getting them to you.
