Hersbrucker - a good Hallertau substitute?

[adagiogray]

So - I'm finding some conflicting info. My LHBS had Hersbrucker, not 'Hallertau' hops. When I see a recipe calling for Hallertau hops, I was told that the Hersbrucker hops are grown in the Hallertau region.. Is this still the same?

Very similar. You should be able to substitute them for Hallertau Mittlefruh

A cool little article.
