Hill Farmstead thread

[justforrazors]

Is there anyone who lives near Hill Farmstead that would send me a bottle each of each of the currently available bottles: Anna, Port Damon, Twilight, BOT? I'm dying to try these beers. I'll send a Proprietor's BCBS, a Backyard Rye, a Dark Lord, some fresh Zombie Dust or Surly. Whatever is fair! Shoot me a message!

Have you ever heard of the trade forums? You should post this over there so I can comment on it.

I agree. Also I don't know anyone that lives <1 hour from HF.

My brother does, but any hill farmstead he is getting is going to be drank when he comes out for christmas.

I live close to HFS, under an hour with some good roads and some speeding. There are a few of us traders up here.

The issue is that most of us already have many trading partners and can't get enough bottles to satisfy them.

I agree with this. Except the part about there being any good roads up there. My place is only about 20 miles from HF. In summer/fall I can usually take the short cut that gets me there in 30 minutes, but winter/mud season it's over an hour. I think there's this myth of people who live close by hoarding all of these bottles, but I seriously don't ever see it when I'm up there. It's just a pain in the ass to get to, with tight bottle limits, and most people love to drink all they get or hook up established trade partners.

The roads aren't that bad, in my mind. I drive a subaru (duh ) and it's almost entirely paved roads the whole way there, until you're actually IN greensboro. From where you are, though, yeah its lots of dirt roads and that'll make for a longer trip in the bad seasons.

But in seriousness, I think all of us who have ever made the trip there realize that nobody has "easy" access to unlimited HF beer

New batch of Anna is ****** sexy.

Can you guys stop complaining about how hard it is to get to HF and gopickitupformebro some Anna.

I thought you mountain men were tough and kind.

Debating going up next Friday for some. I have to imagine it'll easily last til then with them being closed next Wednesday/Thursday

Saw a post that they were selling it at Hunger Mountain as well. If that's the case I imagine there's a fair amount of it.

Anna? Woah. When was the last time HF bottles made it to Hunger Mountain?

 

[bahnfire]

For folks in the Burlington area, some stores got a couple cases of Anna today. Pearl St. Beverage got 3 cases (at least thats how many they had on the floor). Selling for $24.99/ea, I passed. I'll just go to the brewery where my $50 will buy me 5 bottles.

I remember seeing bottles of I believe Arthur there a year or so ago.

Apparently it is a special holiday "treat" for the stores, according to the guy at Pearl St. Didn't seem to think there was any indication it would become a regular occurrence, which I'm fine with, as I have no intention of paying those prices.

Somehow, I doubt they'll have any problem finding someone who will though! But yeah, I'm with ya.

Looks like Twilight is running low at brewery today but more of others (Port, Birth, Anna) still here

Nice. I'll be in touch with you if I can swing it. All gonna depend on if I can get a car/what the weather would be like in VT for that Friday as I wouldn't have the most road-worthy vehicle with me (Mercury Grand Marquis)

 

[tehzachatak]

Yeah, a trip to NEBCO...

Bah, I should. Maybe I will. My morning plans are no longer occupied... Just afternoon now. Need to talk to the boss..

If I meet you in Waterbury Thursday, we can caravan to a spot close to HF, then you can hop in the Subi.
