Hops

Hops is a Tier 5 Flora found mainly on San Sebastian. It can be used for the renewable Consumer Goods-producing factory Brewery, which is the best CG-producing factory in the game at base level.
== Obtaining ==
 Hops can be obtained through Resource Discovery items, through cards, and through the Resource Exchange
=== Resource Discovery Items ===
 Hops can be obtained naturally by using Tier 5 Herbalists. Hops have a good chance (ie green) of being found on San Sebastian and have a bad chance (ie red) of being found on Westberg. They cannot be found on any other continent. 
With regards to the research, you will have to complete the Technology Advanced Flora Mapping before you can buy and use Tier 5 Herbalists. 
=== Cards ===
Exhausting the card Drinks on the House (from La Celebration Mille) will grant you 5km2 Hops and 5km2 Grapevine. Like every other card, you will need to use Tier 5 and Tier 3 Herbalists respectively to find the Flora the card has granted you.
=== Resource Exchange ===
 Hops is one of the more expensive resources on the Resource Exchange due to the fact that it can only be commonly found on one continent and is a very useful resource.
== Uses ==
 Hops can be used for the renewable Brewery. Because it is renewable, you only need to use the 5km2 of Hops once and will get the Hops back if you choose to destroy the factory. This is why the Brewery is regarded as one of the best Consumer Goods factories because it has a fairly high output and it's renewable.
