Native Hopbush (Dods) beer flavouring. Yes or No?

[Whitbeer]

We live where "hopbushes" grow wild in abundance. I understand that the berries were used to flavour beer in the old days. Has anyone tried brewing with them? I recently bought the domain names Gruitbeer.com and Whitbeer.com and am looking for flavours in addition to malt, hops, orange zest, coriander seed, cinnamon and juniper berries.

Can't help re hopbush, but i know that roasted black wattleseed is fantastic in a beer. Muscovado sugar also complements a lot of spices too.

Dodonea?

Yep there are lots of native Aussie edible plants out there. The scope is massive.

Had a native "lemon myrtle" beer at Bagara brewery (Bundaberg) a week or two back it was very unique and quite tasty.
