Pedigree: Brewers Gold was first developed from a breeding programme in 1917 by Professor Salmon in England. His aim was to combine the high resin content of American hops with European style aroma. Brewers Gold is an open pollinated seedling of a wild Manitoba hop plant and was first produced in 1919.
