Celeia

Use in brewing

Dual purpose hop.
This distinguished variety is well known throughout the world and although identical to Fuggle in many ways it does have its own distinctive characteristics. The perfume-like hoppy character that was again used mainly in European lagers works very well in the less malty flavoured, golden-coloured beers. Strong aroma, mild bittering.

Fuggles

Origin/History

This variety is the same as the English Fuggle. It is recorded that hops were introduced into Slovenia from England and it seems likely that the Fuggle variety was supplied under the misnomer of “Fuggles Goldings” – a practice at one time resorted to since Goldings were deemed to be of superior quality to Fuggles. The variety was fully adopted by Slovenia in 1930 when their other varieties were exterminated by Powdery Mildew

Agronomics
