I spoke with my son about growing hops for home brewing.  He said the problem is controlling bitterness.  The same plant in different years will have differing levels of bitterness which makes controlling a batch of beer difficult.  He also mentioned several home brew shops in the LA area have a hop plant or two growing if they have a spot of ground.
