I've been tempted to grow golden hops as an ornamental several times, but
have yet to buy a vine or two.


Well do it and you can give me the cones to make beer.. I like Cascade,
Perle,
and Tetnanger.

Also, I thought hops were used as preservative in beer.

That was one of the original reasons; now it's mostly for flavor.
