New Oregon State hop coming to a pint glass near you
Portland alone looking to use
the Strata hop and some were
planning to pick their order up
the day after it was harvested.
“Mid-September you will
see a lot of fresh hop Strata
beers,” he said. “It’s gonna
quickly get a whole lot more
exposure.”
Portland-based Indie Hops
began harvest on its first year of
commercial-scale production
of Strata in late August. Sol-
berg said the company expects
to harvest about 200,000
pounds of the hops off about
100 acres of farmland near
Independence.

High interest
in Strata hop
By ANTHONY RIMEL
Corvallis Gazette-Times
If you want to try a beer fea-
turing the new Oregon State
University-developed Strata
hop, your best bet is a can of
Worthy Brewing’s Strata India
Pale Ale.
But in just a couple of
weeks? The hop could be
everywhere.
Jim Solberg, a co-founder of
Indie Hops, the company that
funds Oregon State’s Aroma
Hops Breeding Program, said
there are 30 to 40 breweries in
lamette, those came from a
U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture affiliated program at the
university. Strata is the first
release from Oregon State’s
aroma hops program, which
was founded in 2010 under
Shaun Townsend.
“In plant breeding, cer-
tainly hop breeding, we plan
on at least 10 years of effort
before we might have some-
thing ready to release as a new
cultivar — the process requires
significant time to identify the
superior plants. Strata, the pro-
gram’s first release, is moving
into commercial production a
bit earlier than normal due to
significant demand by brew-
ers, and due to this genotype’s
strong agronomic performance,
Townsend said.
Townsend said his pro-
gram does the plant breeding
and then assesses the plants for
things like yield and disease
resistance, and Indie Hops then
does a sensory assessment on
the hops, both evaluating cone
aroma and brewing trials.
Solberg said the challenge
in developing a new hop vari-
ety is in finding one with the
positive traits like disease resis-
tance and productivity that also
has a unique aroma. Strata is at
an intersection of those traits,
he said.
Solberg said to this point
many beers featuring Strata
have been limited run produc-
tions, with the exception of
Worthy’s Strata IPA. Solberg
said Worthy’s owner, Roger
Worthington, co-founded Indie
Hops with him, so his brewery
was the first given the oppor-
tunity to produce a year-round
beer with Strata. The company
began bottling Strata in Sep-
tember 2017 and began selling
it in cans over the summer.
Lydia Jones, with Worthy,
said the Strata beer is the com-
pany’s best-selling product.
She described the hop as
having flavors of guava, pas-
sionfruit, grapefruit, orange
zest, dank earth and lemongrass.
The beer also won gold in
the Sessionable Hoppy Beers
category of the 2017 Oregon
Beer Awards.
Solberg said Indie Hops has
been getting a lot of questions
about Strata, especially since
Fort George Brewery used it
in its summer seasonal 3-Way
IPA.
Word about Strata has
spread very organically, he
said.
Since the first crops of
Strata in 2016 and 2017 were
mostly at a trial run scale, Sol-
berg said the 2018 harvest will
be the first with which the com-
pany will able to really launch
into the market.
“We’re really convinced it’s
a hop that has a place. It has a
unique and captivating aroma,”
he said.

Slat said, adding that research-
ers with his organization found
plastic going back to the 1960s
and 1970s bobbing in the patch.
The buoyant, U-shaped bar-
rier made of plastic and with a
tapered 10-foot deep screen, is
intended to act like a coastline,
trapping some of the 1.8 tril-
lion pieces of plastic that scien-
tists estimate are swirling in that
gyre but allowing marine life to
safely swim beneath it.

SAN FRANCISCO —
Engineers are deploying a trash
collection device to corral plas-
tic litter floating between Cali-
fornia and Hawaii in an attempt
to clean up the world’s largest
garbage patch in the heart of the
Pacific Ocean.
The 2,000-foot long floating
boom is being towed from San
Francisco to the Great Pacific
Garbage Patch — an island of
trash twice the size of Texas.
The system was created by
The Ocean Cleanup, an organi-
zation founded by Boyan Slat, a
24-year-old innovator from the
Netherlands who first became
passionate about cleaning the
oceans when he went scuba div-
ing at age 16 in the Mediterra-
nean Sea and saw more plastic
bags than fish.

sistent and it doesn’t go away by
