    The commercial breweries in Dutch colonies had to, by law, purchase hops imported from the home country but wild hops did grow in area, according to Tinged with Gold, a history of hops in the US. I'd imagine that brewers at home used the wild hops. Hop farming was common in the New England colonies > states into the early 1800s (they were even exporting them to the colonies to the south, Canada and Europe), but it's unclear what original root stock they used.
