Our Hop selection process should be considerably easier than the Malt selection, since this lager’s foundation is based on Malt. But nonetheless, it is extremely important that we are prudent in our Hop selection so that we achieve a well-balanced Dopplebock.
Being true to the style, we should give primary consideration to German Hop varieties. There are multiple varieties of German Hops used in brewing great Dopplebocks.
This is not set in stone, and all varieties and origins will be considered. Perhaps a clean, mellow, bittering hop such as Perle could be used. But YOU tell us! What variety? How much? And when do we add them?

Good clean and minty!
On the higher end for the style, say ~25 IBUs all bittering.
