I know Amarillo is sold out everywhere, but I'm wondering why. Is it due to the hop being proprietary, and whoever is growing it is currently wiped out or had a bad crop? Early last year, my LHBS had pounds of it for $14 each. Now, everyone is sold out. I just opened the freezer bag I had of it last week, but if I like my current batch of Amarillo IPA, I'm sure the pound will go fast.
Is this just a summer thing, or is it likely this is something that will be unavailable next year, as well? Sounds almost indefinite from looking at some threads from previous years. I think I may have just been lucky to find it last year.
