[THC] Winter Warmer

[Yakimicki, Joseph R]

Are these variants available near their source?  I'll be in Munich at some breweries (purely for food and beer) in mid January.  If there are hops there that someone needs that are no longer available here (and I am able to bring them back) maybe I could be of use.  On a related note, has anybody in the list been to Bavaria?  Anything I should not miss (beer related or other)?

Joe

I'm thinking that at these prices, hop growers are going to convert back to
hop production quickly, but I don't think you'll see hops at the low prices
we were used to.  I am not sure how quickly they can get the vines
re-established commercially though.  Assuming there isn't the drought again
in Europe, that'll help too.  But hey, I'm a free market guy and this is one
case where the suppliers chose to use their resources differently.  Can't
blame them....

I like you tend to keep a good amount in the freezer.  I have not bought any
since the prices went up to the $25 per pound.  My understanding of the
situation is that you are going to have a hard time finding hops in general
and you are not going to be able to find 
  1 - Big citrusy american hops
  2 - Traditional English Hops like EKG, Fuggles
  3 - Noble Hops - Hallertau, Tettnanger, Sazz, etc
   
  Also that hop prices are not going to come down anytime soon (a few years)
   
  In my freezer
  columbus 1 pound
  magnum 1 pound
  sterling godlings 1 pound
  glacier 1 pound
  amarillo 1 pound

In fact I do have something of a "freezer full of hops," or what's left 
from the last time I stocked up. I generally stock up several times per 
year, and maybe I'll stock up just a bit, er, stockier.... this time. 
Nobody's answering at GF at the minute. Their website store seems to 
indicate fairly normal hop availability at this time. 

Is that in error? What are people's experiences so far with this hop 
shortage?
