Hops for Saison & Farmhouse Ale
Saison and Farmhouse ales are dry, refreshing styles where hops support the yeast character—not overpower it. The best choices tend to be herbal, spicy, floral, and citrusy, adding brightness and a crisp finish while letting the peppery/fruity farmhouse profile shine. Below are recommended hop varieties for Saison & Farmhouse ales, with T90 pellets and Cryo options listed when available.
