variety question

[sashurlow]

So the wife has let me grow two hops plants on our barn. They will look pretty so my wife is all for it. My problem is that I do not brew beer. I brew cider. I've heard of hopped cider and would like one of my plants to be good for hopped cider. My other variety will just be good for any beer as it will be given out free to friends who brew.
Any suggestions for a good variety of hops for cider? Any suggestions for a good second variety.
I live in Central Vermont, so good long cold winters with a solid snow pack. Summers can get hot too. Moisture will not be much of a problem.
Thanks,
Scott

For the cider, a low alpha hop, with mildly floral, fruity and/or spicey notes. Maybe Fuggles, Goldings or Willamette, or even Saaz. You'd probably want to check around to see if any of those do well in your area.

For the other, you can't go wrong with Cascades, which seems to do well almost anywhere...

Cheers!

Check into Teamaker and Crystal- both very low bittering. Tettnanger and Saaz are right behind those.
