Hill Farmstead Brewery Society & Solitude #13

The thirteenth entry in our exploratory Double IPA series, Society & Solitude #13 features HBC 586, Simcoe, and Strata® hops. Developed by the Hop Breeding Co. (a joint venture between John I. Haas and Yakima Chief Ranches), HBC 586 is perhaps our favorite HBC varietal in the last decade. Strata®—a variety developed by Indie Hops via Oregon State’s Aroma Hop Breeding Program—provides a unique complexity of aromas that buttresses the qualities we enjoy most with our hand-selected Simcoe® hops.
