Homebrew for the Holidays: The Hops List – World’s Most Comprehensive Hop Dictionary

Looking for a Christmas or other Holiday present for the homebrewer in your life (or yourself)?  That’s what Homebrew for the Holidays is about.  Want to send a hint to someone?  Use the sharing tools at the bottom of this post to let them know you’d like this on your list.

The Hops List, in paperback compiled by Julian Healey

From the back of the book: “The Hops List – the world’s most comprehensive beer hop dictionary.  Use it to discover new hop flavours and aromas from around the world. The first of its kind, this book is the largest collection of hops information ever compiled. With it you’ll have access to analytical data, tasting notes, substitutes, style suggestions and lots more.  Inside you’ll also discover brilliant insights from brewmasters at some of the world’s most prestigious craft breweries. Deschutes, DG Yuengling & Son and Brooklyn Brewery among others reveal some of their favorite varieties as well as tips on how to use them best.  The Hops List is a fantastic resource for professional brewers, amateur brewers and craft beer connoisseurs wanting an exhaustive resource on just about every beer hop on the planet.”

“… astonishingly comprehensive” – Stan Hieronymus, Author, “For the Love of Hops”

“… a must have” New School Beer

“… ‘hoppy’ is a woefully inadequate description” The Boston Globe

“… incredibly helpful” Ale of a Time

First page of the table of contents.  The TOC goes on for ten pages and covers hops, hops and more hops from Admiral to Zythos.

Each hop description contains up to four components.  Not every hop contains all of this information, detail varies.

  • Descriptor – brief summary of each hop that typically includes origin, lineage, notes about it’s commercial use, interesting facts, tasting notes and utilization.
  • Professional Brewer comments
  • Home Brewer comments
  • Summary and data chart that includes information relevant to brewers and growers

from MoreBeer: “Introducing the world’s most comprehensive hop dictionary! Including 265 beer hop varietals from around the world. Use this book to learn everything you need to pick the perfect hops for your next recipe. Each hop is very detailed, with tastes, origins, ancestry, substitutes, oil and acid statistics and more. Also included are comments from professional brewers from some of the most respected craft breweries in the world.”
