[Tlo4sho]

I just deleted my Facebook account so I'll be relying on this thread again.

Instagram?

Instagram?

Same thing?

 

[wethorseblanket]

As in, did I delete Instagram too? No. I do follow SARA on IG but there isn't much discussion there.

Interesting that Westly isn't club-only, and A Thousand Summers sounds awesome.

 

[wethorseblanket]

Ahh this explains the art deco style Westly label in that Hill Farmstead post.

 

[drgarage1]

Interesting that Westly isn't club-only, and A Thousand Summers sounds awesome.

So after this, we still have two more club-only beers, right?

All the beers in this allocation sound fantastic.

and expensive! surprised it’s more than westly, could it be the fred barrels? i’m super excited to try that one, plus we can buy 2 more!


with westly being available at HF for a month now i’m pretty sure there will be a public release at some point

didn’t someone say their was a triple westly in barrels?

Honestly, it could be both the fruit and the barrels. It's rare for them to name the source of either their fruit or barrels unless it's really special.

A Thousand Summers sounds wonderful. Damn.

 

[AptosBeerDrinker]

One more. The 5 out of 6 so far have been...

• Little Engine (Q1)
• Bridges Built (Q1)
• Like Minds (Q2)
• A Thousand Summers (Q3)
• Orphanage (Q3)

 

[swivelhips1]

Y'all hype up on that stonefruit. I'll be sitting back with that Orphanage.

Where does it say Orphanage is club-only?

Ah ****, is Orphanage club only too?

It doesn't, but that could be an oversight.

 

[user 306349]

how long is the "while supplies last" period? wondering if I can get the full allotment of extras if I wait to pick up in person in late Nov.

That's usually fine. They hold the previous quarter through release of next allocation, which is unlikely to drop before December.

I’d imagine those frederiksdal puncheons are expensive due to transportation costs alone.. Plus organic fruit ain’t cheap. Excited to try this one.

Indeed it was an oversight on my part. If it's got the special club label, it's club only.

Sorry for the confusion.

Most excited for this one as well

Concerned about this as well. Don’t think they’ve ever used that language in the past. Or am I wrong?

We've being used it this year because the club expanded while batch sizes have not. It's basically just a disclaimer that means that the ability to purchase extras does not extend indefinitely.

And the labels look great, per usual:

 

[KevSal]

dammit i need to get my ass down there! hopefully Then Again will still be available!

 

[anvindr]

im very curious about how similar or different Orphanage and Then Again are

 

[KevSal]

i’m feelin a side by side soon!

there has to something different, the price to me indicates they are picking some specific barrels for orphanage. the name alone makes you wonder what barrels they used

two barrels that were completely forgotten about, perhaps?

 

[anvindr]

the description for orphanage doesn't say barrel aged I think but idk how else beer would be aged
