I have been planning my brewing for this next year and want to do a build up from session pale ale up to DIPA. I just tried to find Simcoe, Amarillo, and Centennial leaf hops and they are sold out almost everywhere!! I managed to get a pound each of Amarillo and Centennial at NB but no Simcoe anywhere! Does anyone have any? Has anyone found anywhere to buy them this year?

Niko Brew has Simcoe pellets in 2 oz. packs for $5. They also have $5 flat rate shipping. I didn't see any leaf hops though.

Freshops.com has whole leaf simcoe but you are limited to 1 pound.

And unfortunately Freshops jacked the price up to 2.30 an oz. I paid 1.60 just a few weeks ago.

Update!! Bought 12oz of Simcoe hops from Williams Brewing. They were $9.90 for 6oz so not bad on price, $1.65 an ounce. For all the hop heads out there, better stock up on those proprietary hops as the craft brewers are snatching them up as fast as they are grown!!
