Topaz seems to have a rep as a substitute for Galaxy, but I can't guarantee you'll find what you're looking for- galaxy is unique imo

Summit makes a good dry hop addition if you can get some

Amarillo. Not the same as Galaxy but a lush fruity hop that appeals to people who like Galaxy, generally speaking.

They only have the pellets, as does the Home Brew Shop. All the shops I've looked at are out of stock with leaf.
