Jealous of all of you who stayed at Shitlord Manor. Looked like a blast, wish I could have gotten time off.

FoFA was a great time, other than a few rain drops it couldn't have been a better experience. My personal highlight was spending the first hour or so cycling between Flora and Saison Bernice. Finished with prob 6-7 pours of Flora and 4-5 pours of Bernice. After those two I was set for whatever the rest of the afternoon. Shaun also said they just bottled b6 Flora...so hopefully it'll be out in 1-2 months?

Suarez's Saison offering was spectacular too. Dry as can be and eminently crushable. When that starts hitting the market wherever he ends up, I'll be there. Other random highlight for me was Tired Hands Boogieboard, a very highly hopped Saison. Loved it.

Also: DAT VERMONT SALUMI BRO.

Why don't they reveal the blends anymore? Kind of annoying.

they do - http://hillfarmstead.com/philosophical-series/
CD10 isn't on there yet probably due to it not being for sale yet...

 

[BDK82]

CD9 is a little vague, but thanks.

CD8's description was the first to be a bit cryptic, "Single oak barrel of blended black farmstead ale. Edith et al. 1 year in oak." and CD9's is even worse, not naming a single component. I'll be curious to see if the trend continues with the CD10.

I recall hearing something to the effect that they stopped saying what each was made up of in an effort to limit hype/hysteria, but I'm guessing that is just message board conjecture.

Figure they toss in things that don't necessarily have names or use so many things in the blend that naming the parts is worthless.

Sue: some kind of barrel aged, brett'd up and dry-hopped version of Susan? Cause if so, I'll take 37 cases please.

Isn't CD 9 Susan with Brett in White Wine barrels? Paging cfrances33

Isn't CD 9 Susan with Brett in White Wine barrels? Paging cfrances33

according to the website:
Civil Disobedience #9
A single wine barrel blend of farmstead ales aged for nearly a year. Pale, citrusy and pleasantly tart.

"blend of farmstead ales" makes it seem like there was more than 1 thread in the barrel

 

[Rootz121]

boy am i excited

 

[Evan1212]

I also heard that 10 was Art and Barrel Aged Sankt Hans...

I also heard that 10 was Art and Barrel Aged Sankt Hans...

would love there to be a BA Sankt Hans without a blend. opened a Sankt Hands a month or so back and it may be my favorite of the Grassroots beers

 

[ASUBeer]

Finished with prob 6-7 pours of Flora and 4-5 pours of Bernice.

It's a wine barrel aged sour that they added apricot nectar to. I heard Will at Cambridge was inspired to brew it after trying West Ashley. If you're serious about going up to CBC, their taplist is pretty stacked right now.

But do they do pitchers of Nectar?

If they did, I'd pitcher-tihar the **** out of that beer.
