Hop Plants For Sale

$15/plant (1 gallon pot) or 3 plants for $40 (Cash only & Pick-up only)

Propagated by rhizomes from organic Oregon hop field. Potted in  
Intervale compost. Perfect for the gardening homebrewer!

Mt. Hood
Aroma hop. Very similar to German Hallertauer, bred for higher  
production. Alpha acid 3%-8%. Moderate resistance to hop downy mildew.  
Versatile. Really good in lighter ales and lagers.

Nugget
Bittering hop. High alpha acid 12%-14%. Moderate to good resistance to  
hop down mildew. Very good storage properties. Obvious choice for IPAs  
and other big beers.

Willamette
Aroma hop. Very similar to English Fuggle variety (classic  
hoppy/floral aroma). Alpha acid 4%-6%. Very versatile homebrewing hop  
for many types of ales.

Hops are really easy to grow and are cold-tolerant.
