What did they look like *before* 2008? I hear it was like $3/lb in the late 1980s, I'm curious if it was a linear increase over time or if there were spikes along the way? new homebrewer here. prices are of course back to around $1.50/oz.

You need to be a bit careful though - some people are pushing older hops. I would stay away from anything over a year old unless it has been vacuum bagged and frozen.

Where did I land? eBay. If you keep your eyes open, you can grab up a pound of some hard to get hops. Though they are not as cheap as they were a year or so ago, they do have them. I picked up a pound of Amarillo, Simcoe, and Cascade. They were like $40 - $50 a pound, but that is still cheaper than buying them anywhere else if you can even find them.
