PROCESS

Frozen in time

Hops are most intense right when they’re picked, but they fade fast. So our friends at Yakima Chief Hops (YCH) set out to keep them fresh, forever.

Using freshly picked hops — undried (“wet”) and straight from the field — YCH runs a patented cryogenic process to separate the hop cone and isolate the jackpot inside: pure lupulin, the source of aroma and flavor.

 
 

Stored at subzero temperatures, Cryo Fresh™ makes hop-harvest flavor possible, anytime. For Cool Little Thing, we blended Cryo Fresh and Cryo® hops — those that were kiln dried — for juicy tropical fruit and bittersweet citrus flavors.

“Cryo Fresh” is a trademark of YCH.
