Centennial is one of the most influential hops in modern American craft brewing, prized for its vibrant citrus character, floral complexity, and versatile brewing performance. Developed by Washington State University and released in 1990, this celebrated variety has become a cornerstone of hop-forward beer styles around the world.
Often referred to as a "Super Cascade," Centennial offers a similar bright citrus profile but with significantly higher alpha acid levels, allowing it to perform exceptionally well as both an aroma and bittering hop. Its balanced combination of flavour intensity and clean bitterness makes it a favourite among brewers crafting bold, expressive beers.
