Where to find Sorachi Ace

Not many beers can satisfy the beer nerds and claim to be easy-drinking. But, with this hop, these beers do.

What is Sorachi Ace?It’s a strain of hop developed in Japan by Sapporo in the 1970s and popularized in North America by Brooklyn Brewery a few years back.Why do I care?Because its unique characteristics of lemon and dill make it both very complex and relatively easy-drinking, so it’s an quick path to beer-nerd street cred. And it can work with a wide variety of beer styles.Where do I find it?In the aforementioned Brooklyn saison, but also locally in Central City’s Ace of Hokkaido Golden Ale, Main Street’s Belgian Bonsai and Parallel 49’s Crane Kick Pilsner.
