Myself, keef, and Testa went there for burgers and beers before we poured at a brew fest close by. I wanna say it was like 100.00 for 3 beers each and our sandwiches. Easily the most expensive bar in Cuse.

Maybe I'm too used to Boston prices cause that check for nine beers and 3 sandwiches sounds pretty great.

Last bottle from the December '15 bottling, which was released in February '16. Sad feels.

This still hits all the marks for me - a perfect base that is complemented by the barrel. Thick feel, chocolate, vanilla, oak and subtle barrel heat. This remains a top 5 Hill Farmstead beer for me. I probably couldn't pick 5, but this has to be one of them. Please release this again soon Shaun

Have one left...drink sooner rather than later? Love this beer too.

Hasn't changed much since the bottle I had last summer but it seems unique enough for the long road too. I think you're fine either way!

Send it to me and I'll send you a Farmhouse Noir?

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I just got around to looking at the bottle dates on the saisons (anna, florence, and arthur) I grabbed from Hill in January and noticed they are all from July. I thought that seemed a bit odd based on my recollection of previous purchases, so I checked the couple of bottles I had leftover from a previous trip in Feb '17 and saw they were bottled in December '16.

Really not a big deal at all, in fact I like that they have a jump start on the aging process. Just curious if anyone else found this before or if this is just a weird random draw thing. I'm sort of not surprised since they seem to always have stock of their core saisons now, which is awesome, but I wonder if they are getting too much of a stock pile? Maybe that might lead to some distro? Please?

All their saisons are naturally carbonated, and bottle conditioning takes an unpredictable amount of time. This is less about aging them in advance and more about not selling them before they taste good.

Looks like Photekut already reached out back in November but I'm sure he'd be happy to help you find your way around.

I believe that a cake must be baked for the mods just make sure gluten free ingredients are used. There was an issue with the last attempt made.

Something like 40 or 70 kegs of the shelf saisons went to Churchkey and Soveriegn in DC from January. Apparently they're really close to finishing these. Which is amazing cause they went on tap halfway through January. Shaun mentioned that they're thinking of bottling less bottles of the shelfie beers and producing more kegs. Both Shaun and Greg sound pretty keen on this relationship so DC might be seeing more of the shelf saisons, maybe even dedicated Arthur/Anna lines. Which would be fantastic. Those bars already have world class beer lists, HF is the cherry on top.

Sante's portal location has had HF on tap quite a bit lately and I hope it's a continuing trend.

Heard a rumor it is an amber spring Farmstead ale.

Is this still Norma without the barrel and bugs? Think it was last available 5+ years back iirc.

I hope it's Sankt, but then they'd probably just say it's Sankt?
