Usable in almost all beer styles, El Dorado® hops elicit aromas and flavors of tropical fruitiness like stone fruit, hard candy, pear, watermelon, and pineapple. A dual-purpose hop due to its high alpha acids means brewers can use them throughout the brewing process.

This Technical Webinar hosted by Eric Desmarais (Co-founder, CLS Farms) and Alexandra Nowell (Brewmaster & Dir. of Brewery Operations, Three Weavers Brewing) will introduce the El Dorado® hop, the proprietary hop variety that is surging in demand with US craft brewers.
