This article discusses a specific variety of hops. For general information about selecting, using or propogating hops, see the main hop page

Bred in 2000 and released commercially for the first time in 2006, Bravo is a proprietary hop variety sold by S.S. Steiner.

Bravo is a diploid high-alpha hop derived from a female Zeus and a male derived in part from Nugget. It is reported by Steiner to have excellent resistance to powdery mildew.

Bravo has been used in Rogue's 20007 release of their Glen Ale, and was also the featured hop used in every beer in the 2007 Single Hop Festival hosted by Drake's Brewing Company.
