| Other Information |
Limited acreage grown, though seeing increased popularity
growing among craft-brewers. More expensive than the triploid Hallertaurs,
which have better yield. Have seen, for example, Mt Hood sold as simply
Hallertauer. If you want Hallertau, make sure you are getting the real
thing. If you're not sure, ask! |
