Cannabis and Craft Beer create perfect parings.  Terpenes are the compounds that give both marijuana and hops their unique smell. Often people can identify different strains of marijuana by their smell and the same goes for hops. Terpenes begin from base molecules called isoprene, and then combine or replicate to create profiles that are unique to each plant. Some of the common terpenes found in hops are myrcene, beta-pinene, and alpha-humulene. These terpenes are also commonly found in marijuana and are responsible for both “flowers’” smell profile.
