Twisted Hop Hops?

[Chris Banks]

Strange question but does anyone know what variety of hops is growing outside
the Twisted Hop ?

[Chris Banks]

Somebody Anybody??????

[Stu McKinlay]

I'd be surprised if they knew for sure... probably German, from what you hear about the few wild varieties being grown out there.

I'm sure the head barman there told us at the beer fest they were a nothing sort of hop. One of those appearance,rather than flavour hop. One of the other Chch boys might recall better than I do.

or, plan b. Go next year round harvest time, take the hops. Brew something harvesty and try and guess the hop flavour (assuming there is one)

Shot fellas I figured it may be a mystery
I may have ended up with a cutting of
the afformentioned plant which is doing quite well just tryna decide if its worth
growing Maybe plan B is the answer?

I'm heading there next week to see the brewery, I could ask the guys for you if I remember.

[Chris Banks]

That would be awesome!!!

I always wondered what the ones growing behind the Monteiths Brewery in Greymouth were. I snipped off a cutting hoping to grow it, but it didn't survive. :(

I'll have to get my Mum or Dad to get a rhizome from it, they are living there now!

[Chris Banks]

Awesome Crabbey thanks for that!!!!

Hey Chris, I asked the brewer at the hop about the hops out front for ya. He said they were some unknown wild hop with no real variety. Apparently he used them in an IPA last year and they were a bit lacklustre.
That raspbiery porter was something different though.
