Notice a trend here?<\/p>\n
In 1911, exactly one hundred years ago, world consumption of hops was 0.63 pounds per hectoliter (0.54 per barrel), amounting to 12.6 grams of alpha per hectoliter.<\/p>\n
The best comparison going forward is grams of alpha per hectoliter, rather than bulk, because of the advent of high alpha hops and the use of pellets and extracts.<\/p>\n
In the early 1970s — when about one-third of hops were processed, compared to nearly 90 percent today — the rate was 9 grams per hectoliter. <\/p>\n
Here’s how it has progressed since:<\/p>\n
1979 \u2013 8 grams
\n1989 \u2013 7 grams
\n1997 \u2013 6 grams
\n2011 \u2013 4.1 grams<\/p>\n
