Loral
hops were released in 2016 and quickly became one of our brewers'
favorite varieties. It was highlighted in our single hop IPA series,
Stone Hop Revolver IPA, and was the featured hop in the hugely popular
Stone Ghost Hammer IPA. Then there's Dr. Rudi, which has been around
since 1976. Originally known as Super Alpha, this hop brings classic
piney and herbal notes, which pairs it perfectly with the floral,
citrusy aroma of Loral. A pairing like this was bound to happen. Some
might even call it inevitable.
