    Does anyone know each of the different varieties brewed this year and when they where bottled? I am digging this beer this year, I don't remember liking it this much but I haven't been able to stop drinking it since October. I'd assume most of it was bottled in Sept/Oct but I picked up another 6 of it today and its the Cascade version which I had not seen yet. Now I've had Centennial batch 1, 2, & 3, Willamette, and Cascade. What are the other varieties this year?

    I was at Warrens about 5 weeks ago. Which was maybe a month or so after the release and they had all of the variants.

    My Binnys only recieved a large quantity of Centenial #1. I drank a ton of that.

    But my guess is they brew all of the varieties pretty closely. It's a harvest beer after all.

    Two Brothers used to list the hop variety and corresponding lot/batch (?) number on their website each year. I looked at the site, which has been revamped since I last visited it, but couldn't find any further info. The Cascade, Wilamette, and Centennial are the only 3 hop varieties I saw this year.

    Looks like they had 5 batches this year per their twitter.

    "5 batches-3 were same hop from different fields.#1 Centennial(1) #2 Wilamette #3 Centennial (2) #4 Centennial (3) #5 Cascade"

    I had Cascade and Cent # 1 this year. Both good, but it would be great to see them use something like Simcoe, Citra, Chinook, or one of the trendier varieties.

    Ya. I know the three batches of Centennial were all different approaches and recipes, but I was hoping the same thing.

    Centennial #1 was really nice this year.

    The hop variety is printed on the bottle, meaning it says "Centennial #1" as opposed to just having the batch number on them.

    Right, right. The OP wanted to know if there was a list of all available hop varieties somewhere. Thank you.
