Where does hops grow?

Hops grow on climbing plants known as hop vines, which thrive in temperate climates. They are typically cultivated in well-drained soil and require support structures, such as trellises, to climb. Major hop-growing regions include the Pacific Northwest of the United States, particularly Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, as well as parts of Germany, the Czech Republic, and New Zealand. The plants require a period of dormancy in winter and flourish in the spring and summer months.
