I left Pro Pig less than 20 minutes ago. I am disappointed that I missed my first attempt to touch tips.

I was there... I had a dirty as hell gray pro pig hat on, I was hoping to replace it but they Are out of Gray ones...

Any spoilers for fun onsite stuff? I'll be up tomorrow AM

Drank Ann, Works of Love Anchorage and Being and Time today. Passed on Le Sarrassin because $80 although that logic doesn't hold weight based off the purchased beers in 375ml format.

Was planning to hike in Stowe after hitting the Alchemist Friday afternoon. Weather has it looking like an early start to drinking will be on the docket.

If anyone wants to touch tips Friday afternoon at HF or in Waterbury Friday evening, let's do this. I'll be flying solo.

From the website:

This week marks the commencement of the Brewer-in-Residence program at Hill Farmstead Brewery. The Brewer-in-Residence program is an extension of our experiences and travel, of our friendships borne from our explorations. We will offer invitations to our brewer friends to live and work alongside us for an extended duration of time. The invite-only program is more than a singular interaction, but it is an immersive experience for the Resident and a chance for all of us to continue learning and sharing educational opportunities. It is an idea borrowed from Shaun’s tenure in Denmark as head brewer at Nørrebro Bryghus. Nørrebro’s guest brewer program brought brewers from around the world to Copenhagen for a week in order to craft a beer while absorbing the brewing culture and knowledge of the region.

Our first Brewer-in-Residence is our friend Tim Clifford, co-owner and brewer at Sante Adairius Rustic Ales (SARA) in Capitola, California. Tim, an accomplished homebrewer in California, opened SARA as a mixed-fermentation brewery and has a dedicated vision toward the beers he likes to brew and drink. Over the course of twelve days, Tim will work with and alongside us as we host him at the brewery. We will brew a number of beers together and will experiment and explore and push boundaries with various ingredients, processes, and techniques.

After Tim’s tenure here concludes, we will continue the program by inviting another Resident into the brewery. We are not, however, soliciting inquiries about joining the program at this time. Check back here for more reflection on the SARA Residence as it continues, as well as for foresight into the future of the Brewer-in-Residence program at Hill Farmstead.

That Cascade Arthur is fantastic. Bright, funky, floral, and dry. Absolute stunner. If only my vacation was a bit later in June I'd have some of these to drink instead of lucking into a pour at a bottleshare. If you've got some, chill em and drink em.

 

[uvm2003]

I'm not leaving until 5 pm this evening, super jealous of those enroute or already up there. I'll be up at HF tomorrow, would love to split an onsite bottle with some jagoffs, I'll be with my wife.

I haven't been to HF in three years. What better way to reacquaint myself then FoFA. I'm jacked.

 

[BenitoBlanco1]

En route to HF now from Stowe! First time in over a year and second time overall, can't wait! I think I'm gonna need a handtruck...

 

[sp0]

Driving up after work tonight, can't wait. Alchemist>HF tomorrow morning is the plan.

 

[Os]

1. yes, that DH Arthur is fantastic... perfect balance w/o hurting the base beer

2. that brewer in residence program is a great idea... it's a very inspired way to learn/improve

 

[Number45]

I'm missing FoFA for a family wedding, but need an Elab 4. Also could use a favor...if someone heading to HF this weekend could assist. Please message me if you want to help.

Can anyone shed some light as to why everyone is lined up at the tasting room entrance for growlers/onsite bottles and nobody is at the retail/bottles side?

Last time I was here they hadn't built the tasting room yet, so maybe that's part of it, but wanted to make sure I didn't miss something...seems a little odd that literally nobody is on the retail side at all.
