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.

-
Riwaka™ – intense passion fruit and citrus punch
Together, these hops create a dynamic base of juicy, expressive New Zealand character.
