My brother started growing hops two years ago. Cascade, Columbus, and Centennial. Each fall we brew using his hips. Something about home grown hops that make it a GREAT beer!
An approach I use is to buy a few samples of a type of beer (e.g., Saison) and determine if I like it before brewing it. If I like a particular brand, then look for the clone recipe.
