Stock up now! Buy it online. Get it at your LHBS. Grow it. Store it in the freezer, fridge & keezer. Pack it into the cool cellar. Shortage is coming! Shortage is coming!
It does seem pretty trumped up. I have 2 big Willamette crowns so I'm not terribly worried but it does seem troublesome for some folks, my worry lies in my favorite breweries not being able to keep producing. I know it's not hard to adapt.
Oh I don't know how breweries will end up if they cannot get their hops but my guess is they will be okay. I seem to worry more about the thread title being so nondescript.
