US Columbus (CTZ) CY25 brings American-grown Columbus (CTZ) pellets to brewers building hop-forward and classic programs alike. It is a strong fit for IPA bittering charges, imperial stout, and resin-forward recipes, and any recipe where its signature character should lead or support the beer.

Expect dank, pungent, black-pepper character with efficient high-alpha bitterness. Columbus (CTZ) performs consistently across kettle and dry-hop additions, 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. For a bittering workhorse like this, the 44 lb box is usually the right call for recurring production, while the 11 lb foil suits pilot batches and smaller systems.

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

US Columbus (CTZ) Hops — Dank, Pungent, Efficient

Columbus — the C of the CTZ family — is the dank workhorse of American brewing: pungent, resinous, black-pepper bitterness at bulk-friendly pricing. It bitters efficiently and doubles as the dank layer in aggressive dry hops.

Best Brewing Fit

IPA bittering charges, imperial stout, and resin-forward recipes. The classic base under Simcoe and Mosaic in dank-leaning IPAs.

Brewing Guidance

For a bittering hop like Columbus, the 44 lb box is usually the right buy for recurring production — one box covers many brews and the character is stable. The 11 lb foil suits pilot systems and occasional use.

Pro Brew Advantage

We select Columbus lots by COA, not by brochure — the exact alpha, oil, and lot number for what's in our warehouse is posted on the product page. And because it ships from Fort Worth on the same pallet as your malt, adding Columbus to a grain order usually adds almost nothing to freight.

Aroma Notes

Dank, pungent resin, black pepper; earthy in the boil.
