I buy from freshops.com. They don't have any Saaz, but they do have Sterling at $1.60 an oz. Keep in mind that these are whole hops, not pellets. From what I have read, Sterling has a very similar profile to Saaz, but with fewer grassy flavors. With the shortage as it is, I have been buying different varieties that are similar to what I normally use. It's a great way to come up with new and interesting brews, too!
