And last but not least, huevos at stagecoach somehow exceed the hype.

John at The Old Stagecoach makes easily the best breakfast in the world. There's honestly no one else remotely in his class, in my estimation. These dishes are so much better than anything else I've had, in their styles, and this is true across so many different types of breakfast. It's just unbelievable the degree to which I enjoy these breakfasts 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 breakfast, but that's just the reality of the situation.

This, but unironically.

It's funny but I think Cap is dead serious about this one.

**FOFA 2019 CHARTER BUS**
(aka Bang bus, aka brewbus, aka juice caboose)


Eleventeenth semi-annual get-on-the-bus-n-get there in style. Always a great time. Large luxury charter bus will meet behind the Waterbury Train Station at 8:45am on FOFA day. [Enter “5 Pilgrim Park Rd Waterbury VT 05676” to map it if you are unfamiliar with the area.] We will depart promptly at 9am and head straight to Hill Farmstead. Anticipated arrival will be 10:30am. The bus will remain on site for the duration of the festival, you will have access to it and it’s bathroom and will be available to hold any bottles purchased from the retail store prior to entry. Bus will depart Greensboro at approximately 4:15 and return back to Waterbury by 6pm.

Cost will be $36pp RT. Payment secures a seat. We will start with ONE bus. If that bus gets filled, a second bus may be added if the demand warrants. (This sells out every year, don't delay)

Please use [email protected] for contact & reservation and this Paypal pools link to submit payment.


*Subject heading* = FOFA BUS RESERVATION
Reservation must contain the following information:
Number of seats:
Names:
Phone # for day of event contact:

Any questions can be directed to me or the email listed above.


Cheers!

Please don't send payment to the email address. Use the PAYPAL POOLS link (as highlighted above) for payment. Paypal created this neat thing for people collecting money for a group where the collector will not be given a 1099 for the $$ that they take in. (ask me about year 1 & 2 of this...)
Thanks!

First post but lurking for a while. Yes I know I need an avatar. Check out the newly redone Hill website. It's fun to navigate through, I'm sure I'll be wasting some time today.

The amount of detail they've put in each beer page is bonkers

The amount of tiny details they missed/still have to add that I noticed makes me think I need to quit beer for a while.

 

[KevSal]

The first one i clicked on (aaron) had batches listed, pretty damn awesome. but than i noticed no other beer has batches listed . Maybe they will add them? id find that extremely helpful

 

[Stevedore1]

Probably waiting for Shaun Hill to fill in these details- likely he's the only one that remembers/kept track of all of the differences in each batch

They also forgot avg Untappd rating. Maybe AutumnBeerLove can help with that

the lack of secondary values on bottles is disappointing as well.

what really would have been beneficial is a real time counter of inventory of the to-go limited releases. then people wouldn't have to ask about the odds of such and such bottle lasting until three thursdays from now.

it's like they don't even care about what annoys me.

No clarification on the jorts/propane policy for waxed releases either.

How about a real time counter of "estimated bottles left in the wild" for very old/super limited releases.

Or a 'how's it drinking' status?

Only if it's split into how it's drinking onsite vs. how it's drinking from questionable or otherwise unknown provenance.

Answer is always going to be "beautifully".

The batch that was in the 750s they sold last summer was ridiculously good.
