THE BREWERY EXPLORES DIFFERENT HOP VARIETIES AND THEIR DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE NEW HOP TERROIR SERIES.

Just as grapes are not just grapes, hops are not just hops. The Danish microbrewery Mikkeller proves this with a new series of beers exploring the terroir of hop varieties. The hope is that it will contribute to the education of brewers and improve the overall quality of hops in the industry, Mikkel Borg Bjergsø, CEO and founder of Mikkeller explains.

‘’In the same way that people in the wine world talk about terroir - that is to say the effects that geography and climate have on grapes and wine - we can also talk about the terroir of hops and beer. A hop variety can taste markedly different depending on the country in which it’s grown and the processes involved in its production’’, he says.

This idea led to the development of nine different beers with nine varieties of hops from various locations in the world.

Pure and consistent beer

Mikkel Borg Bjergsø set up the project with his close partner Dirk Naudts from the Belgian brewery De Proefbrouwerij. The brewery brews a large part of Mikkeller’s beer, and its Research and Development Department has been conducting research in hops over a long period of time in order to produce the purest and most consistent beer possible.

The Hop Terroir project is a continuation of the Single Hop Technology project, which began in 2010 and among other things resulted in Mikkeller’s Single Hop series. The single hop IPAs provided it’s drinkers with a unique opportunity to taste the different hop varieties as isolated flavors.

Controversial project

On top of being a fun and interesting experiment for Mikkeller and De Proefbrouwerij, Terroir is a somewhat controversial project for the brewing industry because it shines a light on which hop producers make the best hops. Hopefully it will translate to raising the overall quality of hops in the long term’’, says Bjergsø.

‘’The way things are now, there isn’t any real oversight on overall hop quality. If we order a shipment of Amarillo hops, we get a bunch of bags delivered from the USA and we have to simply trust that we’re getting what we paid for, but in fact it could be coming from anywhere’’, he says.

‘’Hopefully, Terroir will help put more emphasis on honesty and straightforwardness from the producers’ end because the brewers will be able to taste how big a difference there can be between hop varieties depending on where they’re grown, which could lead them to be more critical about where they source their ingredients from.’’


Terroir - the term

Comes from the word terre, which means earth or ground. Originally a French term used in the context of wine, coffee and tea which describes the impact that the geography, geology and climate of various locations can have on the finished product. Farming areas in the same regions share soil, climatic conditions and farming techniques which all contribute to the products’ unique qualities. The same wine grape can grow in different regions and thereby have substantially different effects on the wine.

Terroir in connection to beer refers to the special characteristics of a region for the cultivation of hops, comprising growing conditions (such as soil composition, nitrogen, moisture) and climatologic conditions as well as biotic variables (such as microorganisms, managing practices). Terroir may have a significant influence on regional hop properties including aroma, flavor, bitter substances and longevity, affecting the brewing values of the cultivated hops. Therefore, brewers must rely on desired hop varieties from the same terroir in order to achieve consistent hoppy aromas in their beers.

Not for a strong destroyer
Golden retriever destroyed this quickly but I’m starting to think he can destroy all things.

So many squeakers!
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
I have 3 golden retrievers. They love this toy. While the head came off because they played tug-o-war with it, the rest has held up mostly for 5-6 months. At this point sometimes a squeaker will pop out. There are so many squeakers in this toy! However, they still use it for tug-o-war, I am surprised it has lasted this long. There is only stuffing in the head.

Cute, durable toy.
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
It's about as durable as you can expect a stuffed animal to be. I have two new puppies who are still teething and they love these things. I got the Kyjen sheep mat version (it's a square shape, rather than the two rows of squeakers) for the little girl. Both dogs sleep with it in their crate and we take them on trips with us. I've gone so far as to open up the toy and replace the broken squeakers (costs about 5$ for 30 large squeakers). The rest of the toy is fine. Our german shepherd puppy absolutely loves the rattle that's located in the head of the gator as well. The rattle also helps initially getting the dog engaged with chewing on the toy rather than your clothing or furniture. Then they discover the squeakers and it's endless entertainment and a good distraction for your dogs. I haven't had any problems with the thin, decorative material that's represent the teeth, claws and back fins. It's a slightly thicker felt that's soft and flimsy. Honestly, I'm not worried about it. Even if they were to eventually chew these off, they're not a choking hazard. Our little guy has thrown up solid pieces of kibble that are larger and harder than this. Seriously now, common. The eyes are sewn into the head, so there's no risk of pulling them off and swallowing. I toss these in the washer on a gentle cycle to clean off the slobber and dirt about once every couple weeks and the squeakers are fine, though they sometimes have to dry out to be 100% functional again. It never takes long. Overall, I love the amount of squeakers just due to the breaking problem with have with single squeaker toys. Once they break, the dog loses interest. Which is also a nice way to train the dogs the difference between the non-squeaking kids toys. The dogs absolutely love this toy and wont sleep without it. When the fabric eventually wears out (not even a slight issue after a few months), I'll be buying another one.

Great Toy, HUGE, small dog loves,
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
For the price this is my favorite toy! My 4 lb Chihuahua LOVES this thing. He is smaller than it by a long shot, yet he loves to parade this around, showing how big he is and can handle this huge GATOR. LOL. Friends come up to the porch, and he runs back to grab his GATOR to bring it up for them to see. Only thing with these toys - for my dog - we have several of these he loves - he cannot make them squeak. He jumps on them, chews on them, but just doesn't have the power. That being said, think about it, he loves the things, I mean LOVES. Sleeps with them, parades them out, fights with them when he's alone, has a great time - .... Evidently, it's me - I MISS THE SQUEAK! I watch him, and root for him, and every now and then (rare), I hear he got a squeak. Still, he doesn't care! So.... interactive time! I go out and play with him and Mr. GATOR, and I make it squeak, and we all have EXTRA fun. Note, my little guy is what they call an EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE CHEWER. He chews in his sleep (kidding). He's really a tough chewer. He however, uses these more for wrestling, and attacking, and carrying around and sleeping on, etc. So none of ours have tears in them, though he does attack and chew all of it - I think these products are super wonderful, and I have to buy several more, like the hide-a-toy ones (beehive, squirrel, etc.) because I know the quality, I know my Chihuahua loves them to pieces - while he hasn't actually been able to render them in pieces! Win-win for us. You decide what your dog is like. Mine has his snoopy blanket and a huge victory in his mind over this large GATOR - his friend all day long.
