Typical hops for beer styles
Re: Typical hops for beer styles
What beer styles are you interested in. There's something like 100 styles out there.

What hops do you have? Here's a list of hops available to the UK market, and whether they are aroma, bittering or dual purpose:

Whoops, that's working nightshift for ya!

Mainly looking at the general bitters, pale ales, maybe some belgian dubbels
Re: Typical hops for beer styles
For pale ales, Goldings and Fuggles are the numero uno and due respectively, but anything from that Farams list under UK hops will see a lot of use, the likes of Challenger, WGV, Target (for bittering), and more recently Cascade, Amarillo etc.
Dubbel, probably Styrian Goldings, Goldings, Saaz... but its not a hoppy beer so you could use any mild hop.
Theres no rules though, make a lager with Goldings and a Bitter with Hallertau if the mood takes you

Re: Typical hops for beer styles
cheers mysterio, both links are good. The second especially as it gives a rough idea of each beer styles' flavours
