Brought to North America by colonists in 1629, virtually all commercially grown hops are now found in the Pacific Northwest states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. This site from a Yakima Valley, Washington state, brewing supply company describes hop varieties and components and explains the uses of products made from raw hops. Includes a data book and photographs.
