Does anybody make a single hop commercial beer? It would be nice so a guy could distinguished the flavors and aroma's of the different kinds of hops. You could buy a dozen beers same malts but with different hops.

Mikkeller did a whole series of single hop IPA's - like 19 of them I think. Haven't seen them around lately - one of the local pubs and the whole foods by me had been carrying them.

This is the greatest idea I've ever heard. I'm going to try this with the pale ale I just brewed up.

IIRC Deschutes Mirror Pond is all Cascade.
Guys, I know there are a lot of different commercials brewery's that brew single hops beers. It needs to be the same grain bill so a guy can tell the difference. I've tried several different single hop recipe's. Centennial, cascade, Citra, Amarillo. It was all fun and the beers were OK, but IMO not as good as multiple hops. But still fun to try just to get familiar with the hop flavor.
What would be cool though if a brewer made a beer with the same grain bill but different single hops for it. Mirror Pond is good but Red Chair is excellent! And Boneyard is the cats meow!!!

They have a distributor in Portland. You'd want the seasonals

if you are ever in Wilmington, NC go check out Front St brewery (I know, it's not commercial). They did a whole series of brews using single hop
jeff180, thanks for those sites. I will check em out for sure.
engus, I don't think I'll be stopping by Wilmington, NC any time soon sense I'm on the opposite side of town, Mt. Hood, Oregon.
But I'd love to visit your state some time, its beautiful!

Hermitage Brewing is running a single hop IPA series all with the same grain bill. Simcoe, Galaxy, Sorachi Ace and Citra are out and about. Ahtanum was the first one and can be found if you get lucky.
