In today’s brewing landscape where flavor innovation, operational efficiency, and clean labeling are increasingly vital, PRYSMA® stands out as a transformative hop-derived flavor platform. Developed by BarthHaas, PRYSMA® empowers breweries of all sizes, from agile craft producers to regional and global operations, to deliver consistent, high impact hop character with unmatched flexibility and sustainability.
What Is PRYSMA®?
PRYSMA® is not just another hop extract. It’s a flowable liquid hop flavor platform built on a 100% hop-derived carrier technology. This unique formulation allows hop oils and natural flavors to fully disperse into both hot and cold aqueous solutions—without synthetic emulsifiers, solvents, or pre-mixing.
Key Benefits:
- Rapid flavor and aroma transfer
- Stable suspension for longer freshness
- No added bitterness or resinous notes
- Clean labeling with natural ingredient transparency
For brewers, this means a product that’s easy to dose, highly adaptable, and capable of delivering consistent results across diverse beer styles and production environments.
Why PRYSMA® Matters for Breweries of All Sizes
Whether you're a craft pioneer, a mid-size regional brewer, or a global beverage manufacturer, PRYSMA® addresses key challenges across the brewing spectrum:
1. Flavor Impact Without Compromise
PRYSMA® enables tailored flavor profiles using hop varietals like Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, and Saaz - or even non-hop natural flavors like grapefruit or coriander. From hazy IPAs to citrus-forward lagers, PRYSMA® delivers bold, stable flavor without bitterness pickup.
2. Efficiency Across the Brewing Process
PRYSMA® can be dosed at any stage - from whirlpool to post-filtration - allowing breweries to:
- Diversify production streams from a single wort stream
- Reduce production time
- Eliminate the need for multiple flavoring products
3. Sustainability and Waste Reduction
PRYSMA®’s liquid format means:
- No spent hop material
- No additional cleaning or disposal
- Lower shipping and storage costs due to concentrated volume
Especially valuable in regions focused on water and energy conservation.
4. Scalability Made Simple
One of PRYSMA®’s standout features is its straightforward upscaling:
- Highly flowable and compatible with large-scale brewing systems
- No additional CAPEX or process changes required
- Reliable performance across all volumes
This makes PRYSMA® ideal for breweries expanding into new markets or increasing batch sizes while maintaining flavor consistency.
Built for Consistency and Global Reach
PRYSMA®’s hop-based carrier ensures:
- Batch-to-batch uniformity
- 100% dispersion without ongoing agitation
- Stable suspension for longer shelf life
This consistency is critical for breweries scaling up or exporting to markets with strict quality standards.
