I enjoy HF but i'm still a sucker for SARA, Upright, Suarez, Fantome etc...these guys are easily on par. What i'm actually trying to say is Shaun Hill is easily the best brewer in the world. There's honestly no one else remotely in his class, in my estimation. These beers are so much better than anything else I've had, in their styles, and this is true across so many different types of beer. It's just unbelievable the degree to which I enjoy these beers more than other representations of the same style. I don't say this lightly either. It would be convenient if I didn't need to drive a thousand miles for my favorite beers, but that's just the reality of the situation.Double Citra AND Double Galaxy on tap at the same time, three different limited bottles in retail, three different cans, a kickass coffee version of Damon onsite along with other goodies. Go ahead and try to change my mind that there is a better brewery than Hill Farmstead out there.
Poetica......
As if I couldn't love that god damn place anymore. Lagering in barrels like Urquell. If only they had a cave...
It will be interesting to see if CD24 lasts until next Saturday. Hopefully it won’t get too crazy!
The wife and I are thinking of heading up next Saturday before a wedding in NY. Save some beer but I will be happy with Mary or Poetica (how much better can it get?) and Edward. We haven’t been up there since August for our wedding. Longest time in forever. It makes sense though... maybe that is what is missing in my life!
Hopefully we make it happen and I see some of you folks.
I believe the “fourth” series of CDs have tended to last a bit longer, so I’d think you should be fine. In general the 750ml CDs (Basically any except the recent 1-2pp fruited ones) seem to be lasting quite a bit longer regardless, so seems you’d be fine. But I guess you never know.
Anybody try Poetica yet? Don't think I can make it up during the week next week but Saturday is a possibility. Also, need Marie cans in my life - can these be constantly available all summer?
WiE in cans is basically all that I’ve ever wanted. Can’t wait to visit next week!
Poetica is definitely one of the better beers I've had so far this year.Anybody try Poetica yet? Don't think I can make it up during the week next week but Saturday is a possibility. Also, need Marie cans in my life - can these be constantly available all summer?
I plan on heading up tomorrow too, I'll be wearing my favorite local craft brewery shirt, crocs, and a fedora.AutumnBeerLove - do you think BA Dorothy will last well into the afternoon tomorrow? Or is she running on fumes?
Trying to decide if I need to head up early and hit retail first, or if I can go up later and/or visit the tap room before bottles & cans.
Cheers!
Link?Anybody running the Hill Half Marathon/at all familiar with the course? I’m mostly curious if it’s primarily the dirt roads in the area or it’s mostly legit rugged trails through mud and such.
Seems quite challenging and a great event regardless just curious what I’d be getting into...
