This will be an ongoing post that we're hoping to continuously update with hop combinations we come across in our beer travels. They won't be in any particular order, so a "find" on the page might be the best way to locate a particular hop you're looking for, to see what other hops it has been paired with by commercial breweries.
We feel this could be useful when researching/developing recipes to see what others have done. Chances are if a commercial brewery has used a particular hop combination, it's probably going to work reasonably well, though obviously we don't know what hops were used for bittering, flavour/aroma or dry hops, or the ratios in which they have been used, but hey, we've at least got a starting point, right?
It's interesting to see some of the patterns too - it appears breweries tend to favour particular hops and will usually have at least one hop variety that will feature in most of their beers, which arguably forms part of their signature flavour.
We'll be focusing on Australian breweries and beers to start, but will include some popular American breweries as well. Anything on this list has been added as the information has been made available directly from the brewery website - we won't be including any combinations sourced elsewhere, and unfortunately not all breweries share the hops that are used in their beers - but thankfully many of them do. We'll also be focusing more on the core range of beers, and less on limited and seasonal releases, with the view that if you want to see first hand what a particular hop combination might taste like, you can try and track down a particular beer from this list that is hopefully available year round.
