Further Reading & Knowledge:

Most every hop that you know and love is of European descent. Though they have been grown here, in some cases for over a century, they did not originate here. That is, they’re derived from European hops. They may have been developed and bred here, but their ancestors are not native. Neomexicanus is a genetically distinct subspecies of the hop family that has been growing wild in the mountains of New Mexico for the past million years. The official name of the sub-species is humulus lupulus var. neomexicanus.

According to the press release about this new hop, Sabro’s exceptional flavor profile has its roots in its H. lupulus var. neomexicanus heritage. Indigenous to the American Southwest, the neomexicanus “wild hops” can be difficult to breed.
