CTZ: Mulitple Identity Disorder

Before Citra and Mosaic stole the spotlight, there was CTZ. In this episode of The Beer Craft, Ben and Andrew trace the origin story of Columbus, Tomahawk, and Zeus—the hop so controversial it sparked lawsuits, clone conspiracies, and a federal turf war. We cover its rise to bittering dominance, its unfortunate scent reputation (Ben’s not shy about that), and how it helped shape the modern IPA. You’ll hear about USDA breeding programs, industry infighting, and the legacy of a hop that never quite got its victory lap.
