I have a Liberty and a Centennial plant, both first year.
My Centennial got a head start, but now I see a few small cones on the liberty as well.
I don't expect a bumper crop, but glad to see something!
 
I have two first-year Cascades and two first-year Cashmere that got a late start and then had aphids and under/over-watering issues. Not a great start, but still have plenty of cones on the Cascades. Hops are resilient!
 
It's fun anyway. I have a few cascades, but not really enough sun. Still, it's a pretty plant and I throw a few handfuls into a batch every year.
 
Westmich, when did you plant the rhizomes? I’m thinking about trying next year so I’m trying to plan ahead. I’m in your general area also.

I planted mid-May in two big pots I bought at Menard's.
