Grown by CLS Farms and four others throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Very few hops can boast being pure, wild, and American. These rebel hops are native to the mountains of New Mexico. They weren’t crossed with conventional varieties by early settlers, or developed by white coats in a lab, they figured it out all on their own, right here in the real world.
We know data is vital when it comes creating the perfect hop bill for your beer. We invest in collecting accurate data on our hops using advanced systems, so that year after year, you'll have the clear and accurate data you need to start planning your recipes.

The wild west shaped America. In that same spirit, the wild growing Neomexicanus hops have burst through the saloon doors in much the same way American craft brewers have. They can boast of being purely American; no white coats in a breeding program here. Two varieties have stood out from their Neomexicanus peers. Welcome Zappa® and Medusa™. We can dust you off and make you presentable for great beer, but you will always be wild at heart.
