pantheon of land-race varieties, the VGXP01 has been a proud contributor to the success of the U.S. Craft Beer
movement. Sold under the brand name Amarillo and managed exclusively by Virgil Gamache Farms, it continues

strains and works harmoniously with other hop flavor profiles in both kettle and dry hopping processes.
