So of course most people are aware of the Simcoe shortage...Amarillo and Citra will follow soon. As of now Simcoe is not available on Northern Brewer, Hop Union, Williams Brewing, Farmhouse, a ton of hops, or more beer. I just bought 32 oz. of fresh Simcoe flowers and if you love Simcoe like I do you may want to do the same. A few of the local shops in San Diego have told me that they don't expect to see Simcoe available to non contract buyers until 2013! Apparently next years crop has largely been pre bought, and it may be another year until farmers catch up with demand.
There are rumors on the net that this site and that site are about to get more Simcoes, but if they do, I'm guessing it's very little and price will be high. but they could just be rumors and there could be a reality that there will be no simcoes available for quite some time.
I heard that Summit and Cascade in the right ratio can approximate but not match Simcoes incredible flavor profile.
