Looking for Single-Hopped Beers

Founders Centennial is single hop. But Troeg's Nugget Nectar is not a single hop beer. (Check their website.)

 

Ithaca Cascazilla highlights Cascade hops (not single-hopped though).

Pilsner Urquell is a classic example for Saaz hops (dunno if it's single-hopped though).

 

Mikeller does alot of single hop brews

 

Two Hearted (Centennial)
Oskar Blues Gubna (Summit...yuck)

 

Nelson from Widmer Nelson.

Trying to get that stuff as I write. I've been told it is pretty good and represents the typical West Coast style (lacking equal malts). Just what I've heard, haven't had it yet.

The obvious would be Nugget Nectar (IMHO).

 

Nugget nectar isn't single hopped. Just greatly features nugget.

 

Peak has an all Simcoe spring ale and an all Citra Winter ale (also an all Summit fall seasonal that you probably won't still find). Shipyard's IPA is all Fuggles. Rogue has a lot.. their Yellow Snow is all Amarillo (website is conflicting though.. parts say single hopped and parts say amarillo/perle). Their American Amber is all Cascade. Rogues Chatoe Single Malt is all "Revolution" hops. Their Maierfest is all Perle. Avery's Hog Heaven is all Columbus. Hope that helps.

 

I've heard that the most recent batch of Middle Ages X is all-Warrior, and that the alphas in it are screaming bloody murder. You'd probably have to go to the brewery to get bottles or kegs of this batch though, it's just come out.

 

Liberty Ale (Cascade)

 

Free Will Brewing has an all Citra PA. Surprisingly, its called "Citra Pale Ale"

 

Southern Tier Hop Sun is all centennial

 

If you can find Sixpoint in upstate, they've been doing a single hop series of a beer called Spice of Life. I've had Warrior, Centennial, Cascade, Nelson Sauvin and one other that I can't remember. Not sure how long they will keep doing it and so far it's been draft only so I don't know if it helps.

edit: did not realize you need a case of each.

 

My favorite single hopped beer is Bells Two Hearted Ale (Centennial). I would recommend that you buy Two Hearted and Founders Centennial. Even though they are both made solely with Centennial hops (and they are both IPAs) they taste different to me. My guess on the difference is a different hoping schedule.

Sixpoint has been making single hopped beers throughout last year and continuing into this year as part of the Spice of Life program. I believe they are only available on draft. I have tasted the Chinook, Amarillo and Nelson Sauvin versions. You can read about the Spice of Life program here: http://sixpoint.com/blog/recent/spice-of-life-series-1-is-on-tap-now/

I would encourage you to contact Shane Welch (President of Sixpoint) concerning your program. Shane is a good guy and a true advocate of good beer. Perhaps there is some way he could help you with your project.

Cheers!

 

Bells isn't distributed in NY so no Two Hearted without a little drive.

 

Not sure, but I think Weyerbacher Double Simcoe is all Simcoe hops. However, its probably considered a DIPA not an IPA.

 

Nice Homework, welldone! It does primarily serve the Nugget but does encompass the Warrior and Tomahawk. Nice catch.

 

isn't Zombie Dust single hopped?

I know you cant get 3F in NYC, but you can trade for it

 

nugget nector has nugget in the name but its mainly simcoe hops that flavor it
