Combining the groundbreaking concept of Frozen Fresh Hops and the innovative technology of Cryo Hops®, we are pleased to offer a new way to brew fresh hop beers with a convenient, easy-to-use, concentrated pelletized product. Cryo Fresh is derived from the concentrated lupulin of fresh whole -cone hops. This unique product captures the vibrant flavours and aromas of fresh hops, with a fraction of the footprint and none of the mess that comes with fresh whole cones. Cryo Fresh offers brewers the opportunity to impart harvest-fresh aromatics year-round.

Testimonials
As a hop-focused brewery, we knew we had to give our customer base the best examples of Fresh Hop IPAs that we could. All three of the beers that we produced with this product blew me away. The intensity and freshness of these beers due to using Cryo Fresh in the Dry Hop was unreal. It felt like I was back at harvest in Yakima smelling cones right off the bine, while being back home in the heart of the Rockies.
