Article failed to mention Dr. Stanley Brooks who headed up the program for developing the Cascade hop in the 1960's. Dr. Brooks was considered at one time to be the world's leading authority on Hops and was also a contributor to Encyclopedia Britannica for their article on hops in the late 1960's. For his efforts Dr. Brooks was promoted to an administrative director and later Area Director (for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho) for the USDA. Agricultural Research Service. |

A variety of Cascade is also bred in New Zealand. Similarities exist between the US and New Zealand varieties with the NZ version described as citrus moving more toward grapefruit characteristics.
