Is there a cascade shortage or something?

Admittedly I didn't shop around but when I placed my order today at NB I couldn't get 1oz packages of cascade, I had to buy a full pound. Not a big deal but it will probably influence my next few brews.

Hmmm..... might have to brew up an IPA.

This was on NB's actual site, said they was sold out.

I really didn't want to look elsewhere as I was ordering grain and yeast too.

No, there is no shortage of Cascade. It is one of the most abundantly grown hop varieties in the US. Hops Direct is selling them for $11.84 per pound and their website says they have 544 pounds in stock.

I drink enough Sierra Nevada Pale Ale to cover my share to create a shortage.

That's a good price, about $3 cheaper than what I paid through NB.

I was placing an order from NB late last week hoping to get Amarillo for a recipe. They were sold out and I noticed they (NB) was suggesting Cascade as a replacement. Maybe that is what caused them to sell out of Cascade for the time being? Just conjecture.

Nothing wrong with having a pound of cascade around!
