PubeHops Mission:

 To collect, study, and bring to market Midwestern H. Lupulus v. Pubescens subspecies hops for benefit of beer lovers, brewers, and farmers.  

"Pube" Hops?

 While a little bit gross, the name is memorable and relevant. Pubescens specimens have lots of tiny hairs on the under side of their leaves, giving them a velvety texture very different from the other subspecies of hops.

Available via Jstor, Ernest Small's taxa of the Humulus species is still the authoritative guide to the subspecies of hops:

Systematic Botany, Vol. 3, No. 1 (Spring, 1978), pp. 37-76
 
A more recent look at the Humulus species using genetic marker testing supports Small's assertion that Midwestern hops are distinct from the neomexicanus and lupuloides subspecies.
