Northern Brewer is a dual-purpose hop variety developed in England in 1934 by crossing Canterbury Golding with a male seedling of Brewer's Gold. Now predominantly grown in Germany's Hallertau region, it offers a clean, moderate bitterness complemented by a distinctive aroma profile featuring woody, pine, and mint notes.
