Default Hops?

I didn't realise it was a 'climbing' type plant. I think I may have just the
place for it! My mate says that "challenger" is a good strain of hop,
apparently. But then, he claims that the hop is a close relative of
cannabis, so I'm not really sure how to take his advice!

He's right about that. Hop - Humulus lupulus, and cannabis - Cannabis
sativa, are both in the Cannabaceae family, and so are related at the
same level as, say, pears and apples, or peas, beans and clover.
