So around my town (Champaign, IL), the LHBS's have a pretty strict hop policy of 2oz per week for ungodly prices. I understand the policy and for the most part, I abide. However, I called my main hop LHBS today and they just got in a new shipment, great! Or maybe not.....and i quote -
LHBS - "Yes, we are putting them on the shelves this afternoon and they are all priced, but the policy has changed."
Me - "Changed?"
LHBS - "Yes, you now have to buy malt [Not grains, malt extract] in order to buy hops"
Me - "get the fuc* outta here"
So now a regular trip to the LHBS for 2oz of hops has turned from about $7 to $18
What is it like in your towns? Is this the worst you have ever heard of?
