17 years of harvesting the same Centennial hops from Sartori Cedar Ranch.

You hear a lot of people talking about 'terroir' when referring to w**e, but it is the same for hops!

Hop terroir is the complete natural environment - including soil, climate, and the microbes that live within the soil that creates unique conditions for plants to adapt so they can thrive. Terroir affects the oil content in hops and the ratio of aromatic terpenes within it. Every year, this causes the flavours to change slightly!

The Centennial hops we harvested this year were noticeably heavy with lupulin, creating the complex flavours and aromas of melon, pine, and citrus we love in this b**r.

Have you managed to try Sartori yet this year?

Sartori Harvest IPA 2026

The flurry of fresh hop season is quick but so sweet! When you brew with hop flowers fresh from the bine, you preserve the delicate oils and resins (the flavour makers) within the cone.

We have been harvesting the same crop from the same plot of land for the past 17 years! Each year the flavour profile of the hops changes slightly depending on soil composition, weather patterns, and water source. When you pick the hops at the right moment, they exhibit the sought-after notes of citrus, melon, and pine with a smooth, resinous mouthfeel.

Sartori Harvest IPA is now widely distributed throughout B.C.! Make sure to check our 'b**r finder' to track down this fresh hop gold near you.
