About
Millennium was, unsurprisingly, released in the year 2000. Emanating from the John I. Haas Breeding Program, Millennium hops are directly descended from Nugget and are considered similar in many ways to Columbus. They were born largely out of a desire for greater disease resistance and storage stability. They work well as a bittering agent in American-style ales, Stouts and are considered mild in character with an ability to impart herbaceous notes and elements of resin.
Origin
As the name suggests, this hop was released in 2000 by the John I. Haas breeding program. The daughter of Nugget, it was originally created to try and breed better disease tolerance and storage.
