Centennial Hop Plant

Centennial is the third hop that makes up the trio known as the “Three Cs” hops; the other two being Cascade and Columbus, though many consider Chinook a “C” hop and have expanded the grouping to include it. These hops are grouped together because they most represent the original flavor and aroma profile of the American craft beer revolution.

Centennial is considered a dual purpose hop with good aromatic qualities and high alpha acid. It can be used as a stand-alone hop or as part of a blend and is often used for dry hopping.
