BOOSTS TROPICAL FLAVORS
Tropics Boost is an extract purified from plants. Use it to boost up guava, passionfruit, and grapefruit to levels that can only be described as a revelation. Our Tropics strains make a beer bursting with flavors that are reminiscent of southern hemisphere hops. Adding more or less Tropics Boost lets you take your favorite Tropics beers and further chef them up. This pure, plant-based, clear liquid was developed with exacting scientific rigor and is formulated for simplicity of use.
With Tropics Boost, brewers can easily and consistently tune the intensity of tropical flavors while using a single yeast strain. Use Tropics strains alone to make a tropical-forward beer, add Tropics Boost to attain tropical fruit nirvana.

Tim Sciascia’s Tropics Boosted Hazy IPA
Looking to lower costs on your Hazy IPA but not at the expense of aromatic potency? This recipe relies on a heavy dose of Berkeley Yeast’s Tropics Boost and fermentation with Tropics London yeast strain for an attention grabbing bouquet of passionfruit.
How Tropics Strains Are Helping Brewers Create More Aromatic IPAs
J.C. Hill, the cofounder of Alvarado Street Brewery in Monterey, California, wanted to make a hazy IPA that’s welcoming in both flavor and price point; increasing the hopping rate increases a beer’s price tag, and a $24 four-pack is a hard sell to many drinkers. So he built a recipe around Tropics London and three hop varieties that impart flavors evocative of kid-favorite candies including Lifesavers, gummy bears, and peach rings. “They line up super-well with the passion fruit and guava flavors you get from the yeast,” says Hill, who calls Tropics “a game changer.”
