Trade Simcoe for Amarillo?

Anyone out there interested in trading some Simcoe for Amarillo? It seems Amarillo is harder to get this year than Simcoe, but oddly enough I ended up buying lots of Amarillo and zero Simcoe. Let me know.

Simcoe - The Low Down

There are several aromatic hoppy beers that I enjoy that have Simcoe as a major component of the flavor and aroma hop additions.

GABF. Anyone going?

I will be at the Great American Beer Festival the night of the 16th, then heading over to Falling Rock for some tasty taps (assuming I didn't overdue it at the event). Will anyone else would be at GABF?
