FOR THOSE UNAFRAID OF THE DARK… 

We bring you Erebus™. New from the Hopsteiner Breeding Program, our latest aroma hop variety with notes of blueberry, citrus, candied fruit, and floral rose. In Greek lore, Erebus is the primordial deity of darkness and son of Chaos. True to its name, Erebus™, is a bold disruptor to the world of hops. So many beers in the market today taste all too familiar.

Some believe that wandering into the dark can be a catalyst for change and that people can grow to accept things in themselves that they reject in others. Change is essential, which is why we proudly introduce Erebus™. This hop variety is a bold, flavor-packed powerhouse that beckons adventurous brewers to step into the shadows with Erebus™.

Hop Highlights:

  • Elevated total oils
  • High geraniol content
  • Agronomically sustainable
  • Stacked disease resistance

Chemical Analysis:

  • Alpha Acid: 8.0 – 11.0%
  • Beta Acid: 3.0 – 4.0%
  • Total Oil: 2.3 – 2.8 ml/100g

Erebus™, born from Greek mythology is one of the earliest deities in Greek lore. As a child of Chaos and the essence of darkness, Erebus is the most fitting name for our latest aroma hop variety, formerly HS16660. Not only does this name reflect its experimental origins, but it also symbolizes a thrilling disruptor of the ordinary.

Erebus™ doesn’t give away its full character with a simple rub. Erebus™ casts a much deeper flavor profile than what might be perceived in its cone form. It’s a veil that lurks in the shadows and only reveals its true splendor in finished beer, promising an experience that’s as captivating as it is unique. Shop Erebus™.
