plowboy,
Lots of folks putting in hops around here in Michigan. We have a large craft beer industry so there is a strong demand for them right now. However I got to believe we're going to get to the point of market saturation pretty soon. From what I hear the flavor of the hops can be effected by soil conditions so that some brewers will have preferred growers. Also there many varieties so knowing what hops to plant is going to depend on who is buying what. I'm a consumer not a producer when it comes to beer, so I can't speak to what hops to plant. I do have a plant that I got out of a popular seed catalogue in the corner of the wife's flower garden. She is not amused. That thing grows like a weed! Sends out vines and runners everywhere. The last two years she has chopped and dug and said some not so lady like things yet it keeps coming back. I gave a chopped up bit of a root to the neighbor and it seems to like his sandy soil a bit better, but it's doing darn good in this heavy clay too. So that's the extent of my knowledge regarding hops. Basically don't plant it in the flower garden. JD
