About
After a few years of semi-commercial and commercial growing its agronomy has proven challenging and as of 2020 we stopped growing Minstrel commercially.
Origin
Minstrel is a seedling of Sovereign, dwarf and was planted in 2006 as part of the Charles Faram Hop Development Programme. It was released commercially in 2012.
