Scope and content
Hop plant at model hop farm in Roy. The Hop plant (Humulus lupulus) is a hardy perennial , that produces annual vines from an overwintering rootstock. The principal use of hops is in the manufacture of beer. The female cone has resin glands which produce lupulin. Lupulin contains the oils and resins that give hops their aroma, and beer its bitter flavor. Although originally introduced on both the east and west coasts, most commercial hops production comes from the Northwest, due to the plant's susceptibility to powder mildew.
