I just found a site that has both amarillo and simcoe in stock, and under $30 a lb.

There 10% off right now which might be a black friday deal, so I think im going to pick up a lb of each. They can also ship via USPS. Anyone else want in on this? I'll leave this up until 4pm before placing the order.
Scratch that, they dont ship internationally anymore. Does anyone have an american shipping address?
It says that the Simcoe hops are all sold out...
damn, they weren't sold out 10 minutes ago.
As I'm sure you already know, they're already next to impossible to find before next season. I checked a bunch of suppliers in the U.S. and no one seems to have them. Breweries like Maine Beer Co. are already planning out new brews to make this year, because they won't have enough of Simcoe, Amarillo for example, to make their usual beers.
Freshops still has them, but they are not set up for good priced bulk orders. I did get some Simcoe through them one time, though:

FYI, for those looking for Simcoe hops, looks like Williams Brewing has some.

http://brewerspantry.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=18_64 has whole leaf Amarillo for $1.50 an Oz. Their shipping price is really good as well. I just order 10 Oz of Columbus and Centennial for $18 with shipping included
