Hops are plants used to make beer and can also be used in herbal medicine. They can be grown by planting rhizomes in the spring. Vines will grow during the summer and die back to the ground in the winter. After about three years, the first crop will be ready to harvest. There are many different cultivars of hops, each imparting different characteristics to the beer they are used to brew.
