Label Text Hop Valley Brewing Cryo Stash:

” Simcoe Cryo Hops produce a perfectly smooth Imperial IPA bursting with tropical flavor and citrus aroma. The secret is in our stash! Brewed with Cryo Hops a hop product in which Lupulin (which contains essential oils and acids), is cryogenically separated at sub-zero temps. The result – enhanced flavor and aroma.”

About Hop Valley Brewing:

Founded in 2009 in the quirkiest enclave of Oregon’s most free-spirited city, Eugene,  Hop Valley Brewing proudly embraces the influences of our counter-culture surroundings.   Our innovative, colourfully named and approachable beers proudly show our true character and invite all others to do the same.
Our main point of difference comes the magic of our secret stash:  This comes from a dedicated, hard-working friendship with Yakima Chief Hops.   Since 2011 we have helped to develop the Cryo Hop™ process. Thus, creating and nurturing our Stash Series of beers, the first of which, is Bubble Stash.   Now available across Canada.
