EXTRAORDINARY TROPICAL FLAVORS
Tropics strains are engineered to pack a tropical punch reminiscent of the finest southern–hemisphere hops but without the astringent burn that reduces drinkability. Huge notes of guava and passionfruit and a hint of grapefruit will make any beer a top–seller.
TROPICS London
Tropics London is the undisputed champion for hazy IPAs. This strain has all the same juicy qualities typical of London Ale strains, but it also produces extraordinary notes of tropical fruit.

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.”
