Cascade ist und bleibt immer auf Platz 1.
Good news, hop heads: the Brewers Association just released its annual Hop Survey. Along with a wealth of other data, the annual survey includes a year-over-year “Top 10 Hop Production Ranking.” The results? Well, they are surprisingly similar in form to that other familiar fall ranking: the College Football Top 25.

For the eighth year in a row (i.e., every year the survey has been in existence), Cascade and Centennial hops are ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. These perennial favorites are the Alabama and Ohio State of hops: love ‘em or hate ‘em, you can bet they’ll be in the mix for top hop.
