Vanguard Hops UK

[St00]

Has anyone used a hop called Vanguard? and if so where did you manage to find it in the UK?

I'm looking at a Brooklyn Lager clone and I can't find it. I can use substitutes, it's no bother, but I couldn't see any threads about it so thought I'd start one.

I’ve never seen it before, but It looks like you can buy on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vanguard-Pellet-Hops-1-lb/dp/B074DB6GNS

Vanguard was bred partly from mittlefruh.

Thank you @Keruso I looked in all the usual online shops and it turns up on Amazon

@MrRook The recipe already has Mittlefruh in it.

£27 for those hops including shipping! Think I'll keep looking

Turns out Liberty will do as a substitution. None of the usual suspects seem to stock Vanguard Hops!

Then going all mittlefruh would definitely be an option.

But.. you get nearly 500g of hops which makes them no more expensive than hops like citra these days. Anyway I hope you can get an alternative at a better price, let us know what you used and what the beer was like.
