PRYSMA™: A Hop-Derived Flavor Platform Transforming Brewing at Every Scale

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.
