Was at HF today and have never seen it so dead before at 240..... was just chilling drinking tasters taking my time today..... if anybody is wondering if it was busy due to plum flora.

I wonder how it will be Friday. Selfishly, I hope the limits stay at 2 for Friday... want to take a detour before heading to Portland.

It's comical to me the people that claim this event is too much $$, yet will spend $30-$50 to ship a box across the country.
Standing around with no line at CBC's taps drinking 6 tasters of A Picture of Nectar, was worth the price of admission for me last year.
Or being able to walk up and drink Suarez Family Repeater.

Worth.Every.Penny.

you know how easy it is to blow $100 at the bar... and the taps are never like they are at FoFA...

what was it? 83$ last year? I had fun the last two years... the price difference will not deter me

A bit of a change of subject here: does anyone remember what was released last year the week of HF's anniversary? I'm going to be in the area in a couple weeks and had this feeling they release some good stuff that week. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

BA Everett ran out early that weekend... the BA Maple Syrup was still on the shelves... there was a regular saison, maybe Arthur?

I think the BA Everett ran out the prior weekend or the wednesday. it wasn't there on thurs/fri when we were. #dat Arthur, syrups and some Anchorage brews is what I remember

I was under the impression that with the new policy, limits would not be changed at all....

really? if that's the case, then I just hope it lasts till Friday

 

[tehzachatak]

I may have made that up, though! I don't think anyone ever said that to me, just seemed like a sort of reasonable outcome from those changes.

There were a couple weeks at CBC last summer where I think I spent $100 on just glasses of Picture of Nectar.

Token of Our Extreme on tap at Parker Pie for last year's Anniversary was pretty amazing as well. Always tasty beer when Brad is around.

I haven't opened my Plum yet, but Phil was vocal about it being the best fruited Flora thus far (not verbatim, but along the lines of "I've had them all multiple times and Plum is the best by far")

Better than cherry, or just the released ones...

 

[OnryAndMean]

He definitely said all, and I'm sure he's tried the cherry a couple times by now. So I imagine he meant cherry as well.

 

[falc0n26001]

Why wasn't the cherry Flora released?

 

[BGsWo22]

Why wasn't the cherry Flora released?

Shaun's mom likes it to much

 

[bearsonacid1]

Didn't they say the first fruited flora was the best one when it came out?

 

[coldafpipes]

Why wasn't the cherry Flora released?

He said it would have been impossible to price (coz of its low yield I assume?)

 

[ncaudle]

so is the Flora Cherry listed on the upcoming page a new batch or the (2 years?) old batch finally seeing the general public?

 

[bahnfire]

My assumption is this is a new batch in 375s, I believe (but could be wrong) that b1 was in 500ml bottles like Flora blueberry.

 

[BGsWo22]

The cherry listed is def a new batch and in the same bottles as blue/black and plum which are 375ml champagne style bottles

 

[phishphorce]

Opened a Plum on Friday night. By far my favorite of the Flora's Fruits I have had.

 

[Davidsoul]

Another vote for plum. Stupid good.

 

[ncaudle]

what I like to hear. unfortunately I have to wait till mid July to get up to VT and grab my bottles

 

[tehzachatak]

Mango Flora (or mango something?) next, it seems...
