HBC1183 West Coast IPA

HBC1183 West Coast IPA — Experimental Hop FWD — 50&50, Varese

HBC1183 West Coast IPA from 50&50: the FWD (Forward) program by Yakima Chief — the world's largest hop grower — is an open-air lab where future hop varieties are tested. Only a handful of breweries worldwide receive them. For 2026, the only one in Italy is 50&50. HBC1183 is an experimental variety not yet on the market — a code, a number, an identity yet to be written. Single batch, unrepeatable.
