US Sterling Hops

US Sterling hops are also commonly used in Witbier, American Wheat, and Czech Doppelbock beers.

Coming from a family of German aroma hops and open pollination, the Sterling hop was born in the U.S. as a replacement for the Saaz hop. Saaz is known agriculturally for its susceptibility to disease and fungus, of which the stronger Sterling is tolerant. Developed in the Northwest, this hop – an alternative to European hops – is a widely popular variety amongst American craft brewers.
