I have to admit - my range isn't quite as impressive as craftbrewer... but if there is some hops that you fellas want, just flick me an email and I'll see what I can do.

Not any of the 2010 harvest - it's all sold out. I heard a rhumor that some 2009 is available from some stock holders, but these would be sold at the 2009 rates. For hoebrewers, Simcoe and Amarillo might almost be unattainable this year.

 

Bad news aye?

Don't worry about it bro - all the craft breweries over here are using them now. You'll get sick of the flavour soon enough ;)

Might just pay to ask your homebrew shop to stock up now.....some American types are going to be hard to come by until later in the year.

Ugh, or, dare I say, get closer acquanted with NZ hop variety...

Really?  More acreage now or just not all snapped up this time?

 

I'm kinda seeing an upside to the shortage though - might bring out some more malty beers and push some people, myself included, to get creative...

Hmm, that gets me thinking, maybe youll see a few sour and fruit beers from my brewery this year :o)
