I was in Christchurch earlier in the year and thought i'd pick up a few kilo's of NZ hops assuming they'd be cheaper - the prices an the LHBS in Christchurch were pretty much the same as Craftbrewer. So in my (limited) experience, it's probably not really worth the hassle, especially if *might* have to talk to an AU quarantine nazi.
But, that was from a LHBS, I wasn't trying to get a bulk buy or something off the ground h34r:
they post round nz, but here they like you to use the importer
or you can go and see them, out side nelson
www.nzhops.co.nz
i have an excess if anyone wants to come around and pick some up- coburg
Just out of interest (as you know I'm a stirrer :icon_cheers: )why no just buy from NZhops, they would sell you hops I'd say, they'd export all over the world.
I approached NZ Hops years ago when I first started GB, I was told by some rude wanker named Doug who runs the show to piss off. He also took the liberty of passing on my private emails to their supplier in Australia (not Ross), who also rang me and gave me a serve as well. How dare I try and by direct. Great business ethics NZ Hops. F..ckin hop cartels.We could buy hops from NZ once and at very fair prices, now they will not sell to you unless you are a registered business. You will be told to go through their Australian importer, Craftbrewer.

I was told that they wouldn't sell hops to me unless I owned had a registered business or owned a brewery. Have a little think about that.
