Tettnang is a very well-known (and highly regarded!) hop variety worldwide. You can even find hops labeled “Tettnang” grown in Switzerland, the United States, and even Australia! Be aware, however, that some of these foreign varieties are actually hybrids created from Fuggle and cannot be considered the original Tettnang. Very similar to Saaz, its high Farnese oil content gives it a sweet, subtle, and balanced spicy note. Depending on the year and alpha acid, it can also be used as a dual hop. You can use it at all stages of your brewing process—a cult hop that you absolutely must try!
