This is a good article that explains the problem in depth: http://www.makebeerathome.info/homebrew-articles/41-articles/164-hop-shotage The gist of it is that the European hop harvest has been very low, and although the US did have a decent harvest, there was a warehouse fire that destroyed a large portion of the crops.
