A common folk remedy for low milk supply is to drink a glass of ale or beer (both contain hops) to increase supply. However, current studies indicate that alcoholic beverages do not increase milk production and, in fact, can lead to baby getting less milk.

Hops tea would be preferable for milk production. But if you're going to enjoy one anyway, whatever has the most hops to it might be of some benefit (and extra water so it doesn't dehydrate you).

Okay, so it is the hops that were thought to help? I thought it was some other element in them.
Thank you all.

Sam Adams Boston Lager is a very hoppy beer.

Eating oatmeal is great for milk production.
