Hop Seeds

Hop Seeds are on sale at Herm’s from his second tier, but in the demo you cannot plant them. Hops do not grow in garden beds: they need a Vine Trellis, and no technology in the demo unlocks one. That is also why Beer cannot be brewed in the demo.

Unlike the other seeds, they do not press into Seed oil either. All you can do with them in the demo is study them: 1 Science for 20 green.
