I have references that creeping charlie was used in England before hops were. 
If anyone tries it, I would be interested in how it turns out.

Glechoma was also widely used by the Saxons in brewing beer as flavoring, 
clarification, and preservative, before the introduction of hops for these 
purposes; thus the brewing-related names, Alehoof, Tunhoof, and 
Gill-over-the-ground.
