Overview
Krush® HBC 586 is built for brewers who scale with intention. When you are producing larger batches, consistency and impact matter more than ever, and this hop delivers both in a way few modern varieties can match.
Released in 2024 by Hop Breeding Company, Krush® brings a saturated, fruit-forward profile that carries cleanly from the brewhouse into the finished beer. You get explosive aromatics of orange citrus, mango, guava, and peach, layered with berry complexity and a structured resinous backbone that holds up even in high-volume dry hopping.
In a 1 lb format, Krush® gives you the freedom to design aggressively hopped beers without worrying about running short. Whether you are dialing in a flagship IPA or pushing aroma limits in double dry-hopped batches, this is a hop that keeps up with your process.
Flavor and Aroma Profile
Krush® delivers a dense, modern hop expression that remains defined even at scale:
- Bright orange citrus
- Tropical mango and guava
- Juicy peach and stone fruit
- Mixed berry depth
- Subtle woody, resinous finish
This is a true “fruit cocktail” hop that maintains clarity rather than becoming muddled, even under heavy late and dry hop loads.
Built for High-Volume Brewing
When you are working with larger batch sizes, you need hops that express predictably across multiple additions. Krush® excels in whirlpool and dry hopping where its high myrcene content drives intense aromatics, while humulene and caryophyllene provide balance and structure.
It performs exceptionally well in:
- Hazy and New England IPAs
- West Coast IPAs with modern fruit expression
- Pale ales that need a distinctive hop signature
- High gravity and double IPA formats
You can run it as a single-hop showcase or integrate it into layered hop bills where it elevates and ties together other varieties.
