Wrong time of year, wait til early winter once they have died back and cuttings are available.

What varieties are you looking for? It's a bit late in the season but layering is still possible.

Looking for standard pale ale and ipa styles.
I know its to late for rhizomes but thought cuttings might still be ok before winter comes, iam a complete noob in the garden though and am happy to be corrected.

You can't grow from cuttings (unless grafting to another established plant), they strike from a rhizome
So it's probably best to wait until winter and grab some then

Have to disagree

I grew a few from cuttings a few months ago. When I was cutting back the shoots I just stuck them in small pots of damp garden soil stood in water. Didn’t have room to replant them all but re potted a couple in December and they are doing ok.

Huh, I was under the impression that you wouldn't get a rhizome form, but it looks like one will

Yep, it's how the hop farms propagate thousands of plants when they get a new variety, cuttings that is, not layering.
Layering is a lot easier if all you need is half a dozen new plants.

I took cuttings in July 2019 from my First Gold, roots formed in 10 days as in photo, they survived the Scottish winter and I had a small crop the following October. We're on the wrong side of the jetstream compared with Kent but I got enough for a wet hop ale.
