Magnum Hops BC – Clean, High-Performance Bittering Hop 🇨🇦
Magnum hops BC-grown are a highly efficient bittering variety designed for clean, smooth, and neutral bitterness in beer production. Cultivated in British Columbia, Canada, Magnum is widely used by craft brewers as a foundational hop for balancing malt-forward and hop-forward recipes.
