Hill Farmstead thread

On that note when did Dorothy go up to $11?

Price of some 750mls has fluctuated before, probably based on cost of ingredients. Convivial and Soigne have both been $12 at one point. Maybe the price of hops went up?

Sankt Hans was lower carb by design (according to HF). I'm a big fan and am excited for this new batch! It is interesting that it went up to $12 but still a good deal.

Interesting. Wonder why my comment about carbonation was deleted on instagram it thats the case

To be honest i'm surprised most of their shelf farmhouse ales have been the same price for so long especially since the process of all of them have changed from the original saisons

 

[Respirologist]

Looking forward to revisiting Sankt but am I the only one thinking... when's Nordic Saison making a comeback?

You must have read my mind yesterday.....

Edith is one I'd really like to see again. Drank my last 11/2014 bottle over Thanksgiving and it was insanely good.

2015 edith was killer the other week.

It's a fantastic batch. It's been modified, tastes more like table dorothy than previous batches of dorothy imo.

 

[MikeG1]

Anyone tried Sankt Hans b3 yet? One of my favorite beers, wondering if its closer to B1 or B2

 

[MKtheGeneral]

Anyone planning on being there this coming Thursday around 1230/1?

Flora CRK drinking mighty fine on a hot day like today.

I put a bottle of Vera '16 in the fridge last night, and was curious if anyone knew how long the beer actually spent in wine barrels (AutumnBeerLove, any insight?). IIRC, '16 was the first iteration of Vera to get the wine barrel treatment, but if it was bottled on 7/13/16, and dandelions were picked about a month-and-a-half prior to that, it doesn't seem like an awful lotta time to spend maturing in barrels. Then again, I'm definitely no BA brewing expert, so perhaps about a month is enough to impart that extra level of deliciousness?!

The dandelions were picked in 2015 for the 2016 release.

The Citra IPA (if its the same as the one from December) is ******* awesome.

I keep seeing it mentioned that 2016 was wine barrel aged. I have a 2016 but believe it says oak? Are their two different versions?

Not to my knowledge. Not two separate bottlings at least.

Has Sankt Hans been limit 2 since this batch was released at the brewery, or did they add the limit recently?

Works of love and ss4 cans it looks like this week. No Vera

 

[MikeG1]

Just a heads-up that I plan on buying all the S&S4 on Friday.

 

[JulianB1]

Clara bottles too.

 

[BadJustin]

Clara bottles too.

These I’m excited for.

You say that as if there will be any left after my purchase on Thursday

I'm drinking a lot less these days and have decided to start dipping into some bottles I've saved for no apparent reason. Two for today:

First up, Flora Blue/Black (12/2014). I recalled liking this more when I first had it. Gentle carbonation, a little tartness, subdued blueberry, but the taste that lingers is... odd. My girlfriend likened it to leather (which she actually enjoyed), but I get a plastic-medicinal thing which isn't terrible but not a flavor profile I'm crazy about.

Arthur Puncheon (08/24/2016). Arthur is my desert-island beer, and so it's no surprise that I enjoyed this as much as I did. It's really not that great of a departure from the regular Arthur IMHO. A boring analogy would be: if regular Arthur is bright yellow, this is a pastel yellow. It's Arthur but a little softer around the edges. Much much closer to Arthur than Art. Hoping that this isn't a one-off from HF -- it's too good.

I'm personally hoping Citra IPA and Walden last... I would buy LOTS of this
