This article discusses a specific variety of hops. For general information about selecting, using or propogating hops, see the main hop page
Originally developed in England, this hop quickly became established both in the Hallertau in Germany (see Hallertau Northern Brewer) and, later, in the United States (see Northern Brewer (American)). It is no longer grown in the U.K. in significant amounts, and some hops sold as "Northern Brewer" are actually Northdown.
