General Information Hop is a specialty crop produced for the female flowers, or cones, which either raw or processed, are an essential ingredient in the production of beer. Lupulin glands on the hop cones contain soft resins (a and b acids) essential oils that impart bitterness, flavor, aroma, foam (head) characteristics, and preservative qualities to beer. The total amount and percentage composition of these compounds varies with variety and growing conditions.
