Willamette
Released in 1976 by the USDA breeding program, Willamette is a triploid descendant of the English Fuggle. For years, it was the most widely grown U.S. aroma hop and became a defining aroma variety for the early craft beer movement. Named for Oregon’s Willamette River, it reflects the heritage of one of the country’s most iconic hop-growing regions.
