Tropics Vermont is just as expressive as our Tropics London and a little more attenuative. This strain is perfect for making irresistibly tropical clear and hazy IPAs.

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.”
