I know this is a very endless loaded question and I know there’s no wrong answers but I’m curious what my Brothers would want.If you had to choose some hops for the coming year and could only pick 2 or 3 hops per style/batch/brew, what would they be? Choose a specific or loosely based style and share your choices.For my APA’s; Simcoe, Citra and MosaicFor my Farmhouse’s; Stryian Goldings, Strisselspalt and AmarilloFor my Faux Pils/German's etc; Magnum or NB and SaazHave at it, if you want....

I like hallertau for my german lagers but that's just me.  they are fairly lightly hopped so you can probably get away with different hops.

I also should add that I like galaxy and nelson for hoppy beers.  I also like to experiment with new varieties.

Agreed but could only pick 2-3.

[Poptop]

Yes, we are all experimenters/tinkerers thankfully... Have to keep it to 2 or 3. Hey, it's my game

as time goes by I pretty much just want to make a few styles.

 

pale ales/IPAs/hoppy ambers: Chinook, cent, willy, simcoe, Amarillo, citra, Columbus, mt. hood (these are the ones I anticipate using the most)

 

lagers: hallertau, saaz, (although I may just start using mt. hood instead of hallertau)

 

I keep some magnum around for clean bittering, similarly I have some NB that was given to me by a friendly brews bro.

 

I do make some other beers, like stouts/porters and brown ales but really the hops used in these tends not to be as important.

reading comprehension issue AGAIN!

pale ale/IPA is def first on the list.  75% of the time it's what I want.  doesn't matter the season.

Mr. Evil, then please narrow down your IPA/APA hop choices

Hops and Sours for me. I will brew other styles for events we do through out the year so we will have a keg of whatever those might be around to fill in the holes but if Im brewing for us its very few styles anymore.

I can't pick just 3 hops.  I just can't do it!

 

okay - I'll try.  simcoe, Columbus, Chinook. (I'd really like to add cent or maybe citra here as well)

when not making a hoppy beer I'd probably go with porters/stouts and lagers.  I do make other styles but much less often now.

Yea, my winter beers will be a West Coast IpA, Nelson Sauvin Wheat IpA, Dopplebock, and a few sours to consume. Still have a keg left of a Porter.

Winter beers down here... if that's possible... Super Saison (w/ Amarillo)
