Amarillo hops
Amarillo is a popular brand name of the VGXP01 hops owned by Virgil Gamache Farms Inc. The VGXP01 c.v., was discovered by Virgil Gamache Farms Inc. in one of their hop yards in Washington state and propagated and introduced by them as Amarillo brand.[1] Unlike most varieties of hops, which may be acquired and propagated by the purchase of rhizomes, Amarillo brand hops are privately grown or sourced by Virgil Gamache Farms; also the organization holds a trademark on the name "Amarillo" for hops. There is a biological patent on the plant.[2]

gollark: 6_4 won't share them with me so they remain unpatched until I can somehow trace out the problem amongst the thousands of lines of code in potatOS.
gollark: Also two different exploits (allegedly) allowing uninstallation.
gollark: Well, it has a built-in uninstaller.
gollark: The easier way is the semiprime thing, or asking me to do it remotely over SPUDNET.
gollark: But you need another computer and a disk drive for that.
