I put together a recipe for a summer beer with fresh lemon and lime zest and juice, and also some lemongrass. I know the latter is typically used for cooking, but can and is used in beer from time to time. My LHBS carries dry lemongrass, and it gives off a nice grassy/citrusy scent, so I used that. My beers have baseball names/themes, so I felt the grassy notes would fit well. I was really pleased with the way the aroma from the actual lemons and lime zest and juice came through at the end of the boil, and it's looking good in fermenter now. Wondered what experience others have with lemongrass.
