The main varieties affected are GalaxyTM, Vic SecretTM, EllaTM and TopazTM, although the true impact will not be known until harvest 2016 is completed at the end of March.

So bulk buy of those when they are released?

If they are released to homebrew suppliers at all. Sounds like they wont be able to supply even their contracted amounts to brewerys =(

Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't send this 20kg 2015 galaxy to Norway then...

Land of the vikings? You'd better, otherwise they'll sail their ships to pillage our hop gardens and reap our cones.

Or triple the price

I haven't seen my relies in Norway for a long time,do the hops need a chaperone by any chance ?

It'd save them a shitload on the postage I need to charge them

Wow. That's a bummer. I have 150g of 2015 Galaxy that I will use carefully. Cant expect to see any more then I'd guess.
