Are you looking for commercial quantities, or just a couple of rhizomes? I had a load of cascade growing at home before, a lot of which I distributed to local home brewers, but I left my own get overtaken by the field it was planted it. I'm pretty sure the buddy has a couple growing, so can check with him.

Speak to Dougie @SocialHops  (https://twitter.com/socialhops). I think he bought 200-300 of them for the SocialHops project so me might be able to get you a good deal from his supplier.
