Wild Hops

A wild Hop plant caught growing alongside Mill Creek. Hops are typically used in beer making. These little nodes are used primarily as a bittering, flavoring, and stability agent. Most of the floral and citrus flavors found in beer are due to hops. Beer making isn’t the only use for these little green puff balls. When steeped as a tea, hops can aid in digestion, due to their anti-inflammatory effects. The oils from hops also make a great agent in soaps and candles because of their pleasant aromas!
