Each sip reveals new layers — juicy, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. A true standout in the Blueprints series.

The Craft Behind Blueprints Bookshelf

New Zealand Hop Mastery, Blueprint Precision

Blueprints Bookshelf is all about layering hop character, much like books on a shelf — each one adding depth, each one contributing something unique.

Hop Revolution Blend: Pure New Zealand Expression

Sourced directly from Hop Revolution (New Zealand), this blend includes:

• Nelson Sauvin™ – white wine, gooseberry, and elegant fruit

• Motueka™ – bright lime and citrus peel

• Pacific Sunrise™ – stone fruit and soft tropical sweetness

• Riwaka™ – intense passion fruit and citrus punch

Together, these hops create a dynamic base of juicy, expressive New Zealand character.

HBC1019: Creamy Tropical Lift

To elevate the blend, we added HBC1019, contributing:

• Creamy tropical fruit

• Soft stone fruit notes

• A subtle hint of coconut

This hop rounds out the profile, adding smoothness and depth.

Malt Bill Built for Creaminess

Using barley malt, rye, oats, wheat, rice, and corn, we engineered:

• A soft, hazy body

• Creamy mouthfeel

• Gentle sweetness to support heavy hop saturation
