An Australian take on hops

The infographic below was sent over by Australian online beer shop Beer Cartel - it's mostly about the role of hops and other flavourings in beer, but as well as a useful list of herbs there's an interesting list of current Australian hop varieties. Click it to see it full-size.

I'd heard of several of these (eg. Ella, Topaz, Vic Secret) before, but some of the others are new to me. It's great to know there's a new hop industry growing up, especially as there are supply shortages projected for the northern hemisphere this year.

You can find the original on the Beer Cartel site here. Cheers, guys!
