I like beer! - IPA's and similar atm, but i drink most beer. Looking in to start brewing myself (having a kit at home) I'm also looking in to growing my own hops.

Do you have any recommendations on what verity? Something that could be used for many different brews but have a distinct taste.

You can start with saaz but it depends on your location.

Oh, forgot! I'm in the southern Sweden! Saaz seems a little boring (= I see they call it noble but at the same time that must mean common (=

Saaz isn't boring, it's fantastic! "Noble" just refers to specific lineages of low-bitterness western European hops, it's basically a marketing term. It definitely doesn't mean that they're common or to be overlooked. In fact, if you're interested in brewing lagers like pilsners, Saaz would be the perfect choice.
