I thought I saw it stated a while back on HF Twitter that Sarrasin will never be made again.

Yeah they definitely said that.

Is the growler limit still 5? Or is it no limit now that the tasting room is open?

 

[facesnorth1]

Why would they not make Sarrasin again when Shaun said it was one of his favorite beers that he's made? And keep making La Vermentoise?

Anyone else intrigue by this one: Assemblage No.4 (sour blend with seabuckthorns)

Meant to share this after visiting last week and seeing the sign. That traffic line SUCKS to be in. Good advice for everyone!

You are able to go through the growler que again, after your 1st order is full.

Also, the wait times can fluctuate with the new system. It was estimated to be 2+ hours, but many people bailed on growlers, and only got bottles. This shortening the wait time from 2-3 hours, to 1 hour and 15 minutes for my wait time.

well i'd certainly hope they still allowed that.. they start limiting it to 3 per day and that would suck donkey dick..

It's likely due to the amount of people in town this weekend.

That's understandable, just never know when a post becomes a "rule". I enjoy my winter visit the most

Yeah I think people may be under the impression that the tasting room being open means it's finished. It's not. No tap lines in there yet, just some bottle pours happening of all the shelf bottles this week (minus Vera and Syrup). So no extra taps, but a hell of a lot more people this week.

No syrup pours?

didn't the same thing happen last year with the West Ashley keg?

 

[axeman91821]

I don't remember West Ashley ever being on the list last year. I know people were expecting it because they had some two years ago, but I don't think it was ever officially on the list. Could be wrong though.

 

[bsc]

my experience at HF fests is the 'list' isn't ever 100% correct...

 

[lopejuice1]

How are lines today?

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

If anyone going up today is coming back to Waterbury, could you be so kind to gopickup some Nordic and Clara so I don't have to have them sit around a car during the fest tomorrow? Please let me know if you can help, thanks!

Rumor was it was a double west Ashley keg (westly?). It was never officially listed though.

I think it was just a bottle of Westly that was opened Friday night at the HF share.

Edit: I am wrong

 

[facesnorth1]

Anyone staying near Sheffield need a cab to the fest? Looks like we aren't gonna need it (DD came thru!).

How much did you want? I might be able to spare some of the bottles I got earlier, msg me. Apologies if it takes me a little while to respond, about to hit Mad Taco for some food. Be in Waterbury soon.
