Simcoe seams to be hard to get these days. What are some good substitutions for Simcoe and/or what are some good sources for purchasing Simcoe?
Good substitutions for Simcoe?

Good substitutions? Cat pee (ducks). Nah, seriously Simcoe isn't going to have a direct replacement but when I want to do a recipe with it and don't have any on hand, I sub Amarillo. Definitely different, but I've never run into a case where one makes a good beer and the other a bad beer.
I bought a pound of simcoe hops from Nikobrew, for $20, I believe. There really isn't any direct substitution that I know of.

Ah, just noticed the vendor ads for hops blow out. Looks like they have simcoe for 1.25/oz I think my problem is solved! That place is great!

Looks like the price went up! Their site shows 29.00 per lb. But shipping is super cheap at 5.00 so it may still work
Oh, he had a big sale a couple of weeks ago. I bought a pound, since I use it in my favorite IPA.

Yeah, I want to do a pliny and a green flash west coast IPA clone. MUST HAVE SIMCOE! I think I'll get a lb from the steelers77 guy. 1.25/oz is a good price.

Just got a half pound from Steelers77 at $1.25 an ounce. Shipped from WI to NY in 2 days via USPS. Going to make Yooper's DFH60 clone tonight!
I think he's offering a "pliny pack" as well, so ask about that if you're interested.
