Hill Farmstead thread

[sobeleg]

Saw the same group of girls, unusual for a beer release for sure. One of the girls did have a Cantillion sweatshirt on and they seemed to know way around the taproom. They were behind us in line so I did not see what they bought though.

On a side note, I will probably be staying at the BW Waterbury for FOFA and I'm down for 2 seats on the bang bus.

This may belong in the FOFA thread but as of now the wife and I will be staying at the BW as well. May switch to an Airbnb or something though to save some cash.

Females obviously have no interest in craft beer. They must only be there to mule for their boyfriends.

Point taken, and fair enough. I'm not a know it all in this area, nor do I pretend to be, but I've been to enough of these releases to know who is there because they want to be there and who is there as a helper.

I can tell from some of the body language and from seeing quite a few mules in my time

I don't think anyone was implying this was the case. It's not that hard to tell who's there because they want to be when you're standing in the cold in line with them for a long time.

BREAKING NEWS! MALES WITH ABOVE AVERAGE BMI CAN DEDUCE WHO FITS IN AND WHO DOES NOT WHILE STANDING IN LINE FOR A BEER. STORY AT 7!!

Jesus Christ, guys people.

Edited so as not to make the tragic mistake of gender stereotyping. That's on me.

Anyone who suffers through the line should get the beer. Pretty simple.

This is the sadness that I dream to shared with all y'all.

I'm sure there will be a beautiful Instagram post about it, but I'm too excited

"Vera Mae (1889-1975) was our grandfather's eldest sister; Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to her and her 13 siblings. In her honor, this Farmstead® ale is crafted from American malted barley; Vermont organic spelt; organic buckwheat; organic wheat; hops; Vermont wildflower honey; dandelion flowers from our fields; our farmhouse yeast; and water from our well. This is the 2018 batch of our Farmstead® spring blossom ale, aged in wine barrels. 750ml"

We were going over social media stuff for Brews the other day (among many other things), and the new communications/marketing person made a point about how we need to make an effort to get more female followers on Instagram, as it is currently an 81% male/19% female split. I completely agreed, while also making the point that 19%, while sad, is still pretty damn good for the craft beer world!

Anyone need a bottle splitting buddy this morning?

Wow, elaborative 1 is outright magnificent.

Well I’m gonna continue my thread hijack. HF anniversary week is the greatest. Going two days in a row, alone nonetheless, is the shitlordiest thing I’ve ever done. But sooooo worth it. Art!!! (Samuel was even better imo.) Elab 2 elevated to top three most want to try status after 1 and 3 confirmed it is the sneaky best series in the repertoire. Everyone I chat with directly is the best dude, and yet everyone I overhear is talking about secondary. And last but not least, huevos at stagecoach somehow exceed the hype.

I miss Elab 4 and hope to try the b1 375 again someday. Definitely a big fan of the Elaborative series
