Hop Inciter™

Customize Your Beer
Order any Bull & Bush® house beer, and have it served in The Hop Inciter™ with your choice of 5 different varietals of whole-leaf hops from Roy Farms in Moxee, Washington. This is every Hopheads dream come true, and you can customize the effect yourself! It works to add great hop character to malty beers, or to really make the hops come to life in hoppy beers! A general guideline is to let the hops steep in the beer for at least 5 minutes, as you go longer you will greatly increase the intensity of both flavor and aroma. ENJOY!

	Just like wine grapes, hops come in different varieties with all sorts of different aroma and bitterness profiles. Everything from citrus, pineapple, raspberry, and apple to rose, geranium, bell pepper, almond and mushroom! The best craft breweries are searching out and using hops with special aromas and flavors, and they’re adding them at all stages in the brewing process to create a special balance of bitterness, aroma and flavor. Some brewpubs like Bull & Bush® Brewery are even finding ways to add hops right in front of the customer, just before the glass is tipped, in their quest for the finest expression of hops in beer! Enjoy Whole-Hop Infused Beer, only at Bull & Bush! Roy Farms is a family-owned and GlobalGAP certified hop farm that just celebrated it’s 106th consecutive hop harvest in the Moxee Valley of Washington.
