There will be no alcohol in your system. However, alcohol leaves behind a detectable by-product (bio-marker), EtG, that can and often is tested for in urine. Based on 24 oz of beer, EtG in urine would be detectable for a period ranging from 8-30 hours following consumption.
Women metabolize alcohol slightly faster than men, regular drinkers faster than occasional drinkers, and testing laboratories use differing levels of detection.
Obviously, any drinking within 24 hr of a urine analysis is pushing your luck to the outer limits, regardless of the estimated elimination times.
I am not familiar with any test for "hops."
