Origin/History - Liberty is a triploid aroma-type cultivar, the result in 1983 of the colchicine induced tetrapcoid female cultivar Hallertau mf and a downy mildew resistant male, USDA 64035M. It was released in the U.S. in 1991. Of the four Triploid Hallertau varieties released, Liberty most closely resembles the Hallertau cultivar. It is a half-sister to Ultra, Mt. Hood and Crystal.
Grown and plugged right here in the United States, these hop plugs are the freshest available. Our hops are kept frozen at 32 degrees F before being plugged and once they are plugged, they are vacuum sealed in oxygen / light barrier bags and refrozen. Our bags are labeled with the crop year, plugging date, and harvest alpha.
