Bred in 1970 by the USDA breeding program in Oregon and released in 1983, Nugget hops are a high alpha cultivar that is gaining some acceptance with brewers as a dual-purpose variety sometimes being used as a backdrop to stronger floral and citrus hops. However, it is most commonly used for bittering.
Nugget is fairly disease resistant and stores well so is a reliable option for lots of brewers. Its lineage includes Brewer’s Gold, Canterbury Golding and Early Green.
