Bullion (UK) Hop Pellets – High Alpha Bittering Hops with Dark Fruit & Spice Notes

The Heritage of British Intensity for Your Craft Brew

Bullion (UK) hops are a true legacy variety, bred originally in 1919 at Wye College from wild Canadian cuttings. Known for their robust profile and high alpha acid content, these hops provide a potent bittering foundation while offering a complex aromatic signature that is rare among traditional varieties.

Aromatic and Flavor Profile

Bullion is celebrated for its deep dark fruit flavors—often described as blackcurrant or blackberry—complemented by distinctive earthy spice undertones. When used as a mid-to-late addition, these zesty characteristics provide a unique depth that sets it apart from standard bittering hops.
