When a major mover in the hops industry makes a brewing suggestion, you listen up. At least that’s what BlackStack did. When they collaborated with the hop giants at Yakima Chief they decided, “Sometimes you don't ask why... just trust the process.”

The brewers created the hop bill for their next DDH DIPA based on which recently-harvested varieties the Yakima Chief team were most excited about — Idaho 7, Idaho 7 Cryo, Simcoe, Simcoe American Noble, and a pinch of Sabro.
