HopsDirect for bulk, LHBS for 1oz at a time, if needed.

Speaking of that, I need to do some ordering...

Hops Direct has received most of my business. Good pricing, good quality and generous measurements on pounds. I tend only to buy in pounds when I need to buy hops to age for sour beer or something to keep in the high alpha range for bittering other beers.

When I need smaller portions I tend to buy from Farmhouse in their four ounce packs. I don't fear buying his older supply and often can pick up hops by the ounce around $0.60-0.80/oz. Never had a problem with the quality on the older hops but if I needed them for IPAs or pale ales I'd probably buy fresher stock.

Ted is an awesome guy. I got to judge Pale Ale with him at Seattle NHC with him last year. Then made him try my Helles and Helles Exportbier. That was fun.

He's the guy for lagers, for sure!  Hop Heaven gets most of my biz, but Niko is great also.

He gave the Helles a 38 and the Helles Exportbier a 40. I value that more than any medal. I have since quit brew the Helles just because I really don't care for them enough to have 5 gallons. But the Exportbier is a keeper. I use the base beer as a palate for assorted hops. Right now I'm fermenting the Mittelfruh version and one with Crystal.

Excellent!  FWIW, I'm with ya....I don't care for helles either.

I like it, respect it, it's just not so awesome to me that I need a gob of it around.

Ted from HH came down to AZ to proctor an exam last year and brought my order with him. Great quality. Just used some of his NB for a Cali Common this weekend.

I've used Niko in the past too with good results and some killer pricing.

LHBS for small quantities of hops I don't use as often.

Hops Direct for large bulk (1lb.), Freshops for smaller amounts and the LHBS in a pinch. I have a freezer full o' hops right now, so no needs for quite awhile.  But based on what ya'll have posted, I'll check out YVH and HH next time the need arises.
