Origin / History - Cluter originated from mass selection of the cluster hop, which is an old American cultivar. It is suggested that they arose from a hybridization of varieties, imported by Dutch and English settlers and indigenous male hops.
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.
