What are hops?Updated a year ago

Hops are flowers derived from the plant Humulus lupulus. They're commonly used in beer to give it a distinguished flavour. Have you heard the saying "this beer is a hoppy"? Well, you can thank hops for that! IPAs are normally hop-focused and give them their flavour and aroma.

Some studies show that hops can lower stress, reduce anxiety, help with sleep disorders, and have anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties.
