Yakima Chief Hops and Indie Hops Introduce Strata® HyperBoost™

In an exciting development for the brewing community, Yakima Chief Hops (YCH), a prominent figure in hop innovation, has announced a collaboration with Indie Hops, based in Oregon, to launch a new product designed specifically for brewers—Strata® HyperBoost™. This innovative extract marks a notable partnership between the two hop suppliers, combining Indie Hops' popular Strata variety with YCH's state-of-the-art HyperBoost formula, a unique flowable hop extract exclusive to YCH.

A Natural Partnership

Ryan Hopkins, CEO of Yakima Chief Hops, expressed the natural fit of this collaboration, stating, "Indie Hops has always had a mutual interest in crafting excellent beer, which makes our partnership for Strata HyperBoost a logical step forward." He praised Indie Hops for their dedication to creating hop varieties that introduce new flavors, highlighting their commitment to family-owned farms.

Indie Hops CEO Jim Solberg echoed this sentiment, celebrating the collaborative spirit shared between craft brewers and hop suppliers. "We're thrilled to work with YCH to blend our exceptional Strata variety with their innovative HyperBoost formula," said Solberg. "It's beneficial for us, advantageous for YCH, and ultimately fantastic for brewers looking for new flavor profiles."

Unmatched Flavor Profile

The Strata variety is gaining significant popularity among contemporary brewers, known for its unique aroma, which combines notes of passion fruit, grapefruit, and strawberry, with a hint of cannabis. The introduction of HyperBoost provides brewers with an advanced product to seamlessly incorporate these vibrant flavors into their creations.

HyperBoost's concentrated oil formula simplifies the brewing process remarkably. Brewers can add it directly into fermenters without any additional preparation, dramatically enhancing efficiency. This groundbreaking product is a response to brewers' requests for a highly flowable and concentrated hop product that retains genuine hop characteristics while boosting flavor and aroma.

Brewers using HyperBoost have reported impressive improvements in their beer yields—some even experiencing increases as high as 10%. This versatility allows it to either replace part of a traditional hop bill or serve as a supplement to amplify the overall sensory impact of the final beer product.

Quality You Can Trust

Solberg emphasized one of the key factors that drew Indie Hops to YCH's HyperBoost: it is exclusively derived from real hops. He stated, "What attracted us is the assurance that HyperBoost is made solely from hops, grown by real people. It allows brewers to excite their customers who appreciate authentic hoppy flavors."

Strata HyperBoost is poised to become an essential tool for innovative brewers aiming to captivate beer enthusiasts with exceptional flavors. The product comes in convenient 100g bottles, designed for easy pouring, and is available from both YCH and Indie Hops. Furthermore, to broaden access to Strata's unique qualities, YCH will also offer Strata T90 pellets.

Brewers interested in acquiring Strata HyperBoost or the T90 pellets can contact Indie Hops, their YCH sales representative, or order through the YCH customer portal, ensuring they don't miss out on this exciting new offering.
