Hill Farmstead thread

[jammery]

Got in line at 1pm. Just about to get in the door on the retail side.

Brutal. Hopefully BravoDawg and raginasian238 return to brighten up the day.

 

[BadJustin]

So a friend got in line at 4:20 (heh) 100 people still.

 

[preluderl]

Just got my stuff. 3 hrs 45 minutes total wait in line.

What if the unannounced wonderment today is that there's an insanely large number of bottles for this latest batch of Damon, so much so that it lasts for a couple weeks, even at 3pp?! (Prolly not, but I'd love that, for the sake of the shitlords.)

Edit: So thankful I was up there for some super chill weekdays earlier this month. Not a fan of these sorts of crowds or waiting in line, for anything.

 

[preluderl]

When I got my stuff at 4:45, they had just wheeled out a pallet of full cases. Definitely looked like it would stick around for a few days.

 

[MKtheGeneral]

It's the slowest moving line I've ever witnessed anywhere.

Slower than the growler line during the Damon/DBD/Flora/Flora Satsuma release?

Idk about that, this was just the slowest I've ever personally experienced.

Thank you to everyone who came out for Wednesday's release. The turnout was amazing. In the interest of ensuring that these bottles are available for as many people as possible, we are going to adjust the limit to 2 bottles per person. Thanks for everyone's patience and good natures today, and we hope to see more of you tomorrow and beyond.

That BoT is hot fire though. Aaron b2 and Florence Punch were both outstanding too.

Finally had Flora batch 5 today for the first time after missing it by 3 people at the infamous release years ago. It does not disappoint.

Why the need to unload CD15 mags like that? Unloading expiring stock? Weren't those meant only for onsite, or for the Fight Club menu?

I bet they need to make room for all the Vera Mae that’s piling up.

Very excited for my first trip tomorrow. Really hoping there’s not 300 people in line.

Pretty awesome timing, I'm jealous of that CD Pear tick

Glad to hear it’s still good. I think b6 is over its peak now (still great...)

Wow Arthur and Florence on tap at a random bar in Denver. I feel like I really missed something good at Shelton Fest if this are the leftovers.

There's a bar in SF with kegs of Arthur, Anna, Florence, Clara... tapping these "whales" and others all at the same time, so arrive early, their flyer advised

The bar I work at in Portland, OR has gotten Hill Farmstead draft a few times in the last six months, through Shelton Brothers. It may help that we also are getting Wunderkammer kegs since the brewer used to be the head brewer at Laurelwood, another Portland brewery.

Wunderkammer is so fun and weird

We had such a wonderful experience today. We showed up around 11:20, maybe 20 folks already there. The retail line moved super quick, and the taproom was full the whole time we were there, but never got too busy. I got a chance to tick two long time wants in raginasian238 & BravoDawg
Flora Pear was nice too.
Had lunch at Parker Pie, followed by dinner at Pro Pig where I met the venerable Frank
The food at both places was top notch.
Had a nightcap at Blackstrap too. The Edward & SoS was flowing all day long, VT is cool AF.

It was a ******* pleasure and a long time want to meet you bro. Hopefully we can pay you a visit out there sooner rather than later

I will be busy that day.

I'm sure you will be knitting beanies somewhere...

Eww

 

[user 312341]

Did someone say knitting beanies?

Anyway...

BrandoSF, I am so thrilled we got to hang out today. Had a blast with you and the family, especially during cat pix time.
preluderl, it was nice to meet you too!!
