This month we Rock The Kazbek – a hybrid hop bred from the popular Czech Saaz, and wild hops that grow in the Caucasus Mountains (at the base of, surprise, Mt. Kazbek). This hop conveys the mild nature of its Saaz ancestry, but with some spice and earthiness – dare we say wildness? – from its free-grown parentage. It’s the perfect hop to kick up this Czech-style pilsner.
