CZ Saaz CY25 brings the defining Czech noble hop to brewers building authentic pilsner and lager programs. It is a strong fit for Czech pilsner, pale lager, and any recipe where classic Saaz refinement should lead the beer.

Expect the benchmark noble profile: gentle spice, fine herbal tones, and a clean, elegant finish. Saaz performs consistently across every kettle role, with results that track closely to the lot analysis on the COA.

This hop is available in professional brewing formats, including 11 lb foils and 44 lb boxes. Choose the 11 lb nitrogen-flushed foil for maximum freshness on aroma-critical additions, or the 44 lb box when this hop anchors a recurring program and purchasing efficiency matters.

Hop analysis values vary by crop year and lot. For exact alpha acid, beta acid, total oil, and lot number, confirm the active lot through the COA or product documents before final recipe calculations. Store cold and sealed until use.

Brewer Notes

CZ Saaz Hops — The Original Noble

Czech Saaz is the original noble hop — the variety that defines pilsner, grown in the Žatec region that gave it its name.
Best Brewing Fit
Czech pilsner, pale lager, and classic European styles. Use generously in late additions; its refinement is the point.
Brewing Guidance
The authenticity play: German Saaz covers most programs, but breweries brewing a true Czech-style pilsner want the Žatec original on the label.
Pro Brew Advantage
In stock in Fort Worth with same-day shipping on orders placed by 3 PM CT, or noon when it rides a pallet (2 PM Fridays). Rides the malt pallet under the flat-rate freight program, so hops ship for pennies when they join a pallet order.
Aroma Notes
Gentle spice, fine herbal tones, elegant clean finish
Best Beer Styles
Czech Pilsner; Pale Lager; European Lager
