I'll have to dig around in my Arthur box and see if I have one of these.

Color me jelly

I'll bring some up next time. It's actually boxes. It was the only saison available last time I was there, so I stocked the hell up.

Figured I would save you all the hassle of typing up the rest of this same old repetitive message. Feel free to cut and paste the following when you guys get all worked up:

__ / __ batch of __________ is drinking __________ right now.

But seriously, when is the last time you opened a properly cellared shelf farmstead© bottle and thought man this sucks, I should have drank this when it was fresher. I'm trying to recall the last "drink it now" warning that was tossed out for these bottles. Maybe they are all drinking amazing right now because they were amazing from the start? Maybe?

Also super serious, I get worked up too over these year+ cellared bottles that I bought for $10 but if I was to come on here and gush every time you would all hate me more than you already do.

But in what order do you rank the last five batches of Anna, and more importantly, how are each of them drinking?

I have the two latest batches. If you send me the previous three batches not only will I rank them but I will include pictures and tasting notes as well as telling you how they are drinking. Really whatever you want. Super serious.

I have a 20 month old florence I found the other day. Will make sure to let you know if it sucks to provide this thread with some diversity.

I actually had a ****** tasting bottle of Arthur not to long ago. 5/14 or 10/14, I can't remember. Tasted lightly oxidized and didn't have very expressive brett character.

a lot of times in the past few months. i mean, not "sucks," but "should have drank it fresher" for sure

Current GUEST BOTTLES available at the shop:

• Casita Cerveceria Sopressa - Tart and hoppy ale. 500ml $9

That feeling when you have a trip planned to VT and new bottles go up on the site that week.

1) does Dorothy count?
2) I think even "properly cellared" is a loose requirement haha

Best bottles I've had of recent were 10/2015 Arthur and Florence. Both were perfect, to me, at 3 months in the bottle. I think there is much less change with age since around the time they added the foeders.

think I'd rather dig around my Anna box, if you know what I mean...

I've been to HF 4 times and Anna has never been for sale.

same here, only "shelf" I've never seen on the shelf

 

[caaam]

I've been there once, but they've never had any HF or Grassroots bottles for sale the one time I was there

Not that I'm still bitter or anything

 

[Auror]

Is there a way to change the HF thread tag to South?

rarely, but...

M&C 4
Juicy*
Mimosa*

*the former two were still delicious, but personally enjoyed them both way more when 'fresher'.

I had a dream that Mimosa and Juicy were shelf bottles. Woke up to a nightmare instead where Juicy kicked the first week after Xmas break when I had no rhyme or reason to take a day off and make the trip up.

Literally the worst HF nightmare ever came true for me (and many others I assume).

Anyone know if there's any chance for oysters this Saturday?

Was originally on the site, but got pulled today so I'm going to assume no go

 

[Abitker]

If anyone going up this week can grab me some Earl bottles for cash+label I will happily return the favor next time I head up.
