Most folks know that hops is used in beer but brewers aside, few people

Very nice photo. I first saw hops growing when we visited the historic
Strawberry Banke village in New Hampshire. They were being used as a
decorative vine on a fence and arbor and were quite attractive.

My son-in-law is growing a few selected varieties for home beer brewing
that he ordered from someplace in Oregon. In their second year, the
vines are quite pretty and there is enough "fruit" to harvest.
