I grow the Bianca variety for wreaths/crafts. Nichols Herbs carries root pieces but they are pricey in bulk. You might find a local home brewing club to purchase root starts, but expect a two to three year lead time before harvest. The old husband's tale about vines is true of hops...first year, sleep; second year creep; third year, leap. Easy to grow, and prolific...you'll have to boss them around and trellis vertically for good flower production. I fertilize heavily with fish emulsion and organic chicken manure. (I have never tried sales for brewing, but as wreaths and garnishes on dried flower crafts....instant sell-out every season.)
