We surmised last week that the new hop to get a name at The Craft Brewers Conference this week might be HBC 366 and lo and behold…

From the breeders of Citra® YCR 394 cv, Mosaic™ HBC 369 cv, and Simcoe® YCR 14 cv hops comes the latest varietal release – Equinox™ HBC 366.

These hops are generally some of the most sought-after in the industry.

In the video above, Brooklyn Brewmaster, Garrett Oliver, discusses Equinox™. Check out more info on the newly-named hop below.
