UK Fuggle Hops

UK Fuggle Hop Profile

Fuggle hops are one of the legendary varieties in brewing and is one of the oldest lineages still being used today. Fuggle hops were commercially released in 1875 by Richard Fuggle of Kent, England. Mr. Fuggle found the variety as a chance seedling in 1861, probably in a field of Goldings, and it went on to become one of the most popular English varieties of all time. Not only is Fuggle prized for its classic English aroma, but it has been used in breeding some of today’s most popular varieties including Cascade, Centennial, and Willamette.

UK Fuggle hops are well-suited for classic English styles such as Pale Ales and English Bitters.
