Show Notes

Welcome to this Brewery Pro podcast. This is part of Hop Product Australia's 2021 Virtual Harvest program.


Today HPAs Owen Johnston chats with Simon Whittock, who has been in charge of HPAs breeding program since 2007. They go behind the scenes to see what it takes for a hop to climb the ranks from an experimental variety to a commercial success.


At 7:20 hear a special Q and A with Mark Goldsmith, Group Manager of Raw Materials, Asahi Premium Beverages. Mark has been involved in many brewing trials during his time in the industry. He knows exactly what it takes for an experimental hop variety to be considered for inclusion in a commercial release beer.
