Fresh Nelson Cold Pressed Hop Juice™

Brighter, more well rounded, field fresh hop character

Nelson Cold Pressed Hop Juice™ has fresh green and resinous elements and a well rounded and complex character.

The latest version of our Nelson Cold Pressed Hop Juice™ builds on our prior work and research and combines multiple methods of cryogenic extraction. Cold Pressed Hop Juice is comprised of our SubZero Hop Kief® and additions from our other processes.

Works like our SubZero Hop Kief® and brings the pleasant field fresh characters of our varietals without the negatives that sometimes accompany beers made with fresh green hops and just like our SubZero Hop Kief®, it’s easy to use and contains no surprising extra ingredients.

Checking out the Motueka today. We’ve got some light greenness and it’s not ready yet but there’s some really nice lime zest character coming through, just what we want to see. Background complexity and floral notes coming through as well so things are coming along nicely and excitingly are very sticky, lots of lupulin! by @freestylehops

Out in the hop gardens checking out the NZ Cascade.

Really great intensity with some nice grapefruit and berry notes coming through. Still too much green so now we practice patience and wait for the aromas to develop. We’re getting close… by @freestylehops

Look at all that lupulin!

Our 2025 harvest is complete and we can’t wait to get these hops out to you!

We’re stoked on the flavour and aroma development this year and are excited to see our hops express themselves in your amazing beers!

If you’re interesting in contracting, there’s a little time left to get one in before contracts close. We’ve got low minimums and volume discounts starting quite low as well. Get in touch if you’d like to jump on board! by @freestylehops

Checking out our experimental hops in the field, lots of interesting stuff coming along. Really exciting to see these hops move through the programme and develop. We put a lot of effort into finding winners, its tough competition for new varieties to make it through, they've gotta be really good! Looking forward to some interesting trail brews in the coming year. by @freestylehops

We use sheep to keep the weeds down in our hop gardens during harvest.

Our hops are spray free, we never use fungicides or insecticides on our hops and never will so you can be confident that when you receive hops from Freestyle, that they don't contain any unwanted sprays. It's something we're really proud of and committed to continuing to deliver on. by @freestylehops

Every year our harvest brings something new and this season has been all about patience. The flavour and aroma targets we're looking for are coming along a little later this year than in past years but that's why we harvest on sensory, not dates. It requires a lot of patience but it's exciting seeing that patience pay off when you smell the hops in the kilns and when they are pelleted. Can't wait to get these 2025 hops out to our amazing customers all over the world! by @freestylehops

New variety in our breeding programme, NZ4, think super complex fruit salad. We're really excited about this one, it's looking really promising. Lots of tropical, berry and citrus all together. This new variety has brought big intensity in trial brews and we're really looking forward to doing more trialing with it this year! by @freestylehops

Out in the hop gardens doing sensory on our Motueka. It’s coming along nicely! We’ve harvested some of our early lots that have developed a nice lemon-lime character. Looking forward to watching the other Motueka gardens develop. by @freestylehops
