There's a new brewery in Brooklyn called Other Half making a Motueka Pale Ale. Very enjoyable beer

Is that what we had before Phish N2?

 

[Number45]

The Nelson single hop that HF makes isn't getting enough love. That blew Riwaka away, if you ask me. Haven't tried Motueka yet but will remedy that soon.

What the world needs is for HF to brew a Double Nelson. Sign me up for that.

Also, looks like SS #6 is being brewed now. All Mosaic, loved it the first time around.

Yes please.

Actually wasn't huge when I had SS#6 last summer, but we also had it blind vs Heady and DS

Yessir

That was tasty.

Sporting wood looking at the draft list right now. Jesus

Looks like another round of totes sold this morning.

Looks like another round of totes sold this morning.

Yup...including a cherry wood one with Damon B1 and B2, DB Damon and Port Damon. Not too bad...

Hope some TB'ers got some tote action this morning!

Now, we await Daybreak.

 

[Frank1]

Now, we await Daybreak.

Seriously...

Can't wait for this bottle to come out.

What was the price? I didn't see the totes this morning.

$420

One of a kind tote using cherry wood harvested on property.

Pretty sweet, but about 4x out of my personal price range.

Holy ****. Yeah way too rich for my blood

Yup, that's pretty rich. The totes are sweet, but as cool as it would be to get HF wood into a tote, it's not worth that price to me. If I had much more disposable income, I'd have bought it in a second though. Love Darren's work, and I love my butternut tote.

I believe the cheapest package today was $200 for a tote with different wood and four saisons (including Vera Mae). Not too bad there.

agree 100%

if I had the money I'd be all over it. Amazingly line cook pays enough to drink well, but not enough to truly ball out. Oh well!

Holy ******* ****. Did he auction these off on MyBeerCellar or something???

It did come with DB Damon...waelzbro. The cheapest totes seem to start at $150 each, and the tote itself is worth that IMO. More expensive wood, etc. (I'm not carpenter) can definitely account for some of the higher cost. The totes are really nice, well made. Very cool to have.

How much you think he'd charge for all 4 in a plastic bag? I don't need the tote!

Any word on when Daybreak or Flora Cuvee may be coming out?

 

[Number45]

Any word on when Daybreak or Flora Cuvee may be coming out?

Nope. I'd guess Daybreak sooner than later and a while still on Flora Cuvee. Daybreak has been bottled...no word yet on the other. Usually a minimum of 2-4 weeks after bottling before release. Sometimes much, much longer than that to depending on how they condition. I believe I heard Flora Cuvee would be a spring release? Not sure though.

B3 of Norma is probably coming in the next 5-7 weeks too.

I bought the cheapest set last round and the tote was $75, then $50 for the beer (Clara, Arthur, Vera Mae and Anna). The totes are well made, but I really only look at it as a display piece because it's not really practical for me to travel up there with it. I was kind of surprised to see a few folks there last weekend using them for their intended purpose.

 

[Corbot_3000]

Does anybody know the URL where they were sold?

Any totes left ? How were they announced ?

Agreed. Shocked to see people using it to carry beers they just bought at HF...I bring my price chopper six-bottle wine bag and/or a milk crate to carry my HF purchases, much easier than the tote. My plan is to use the tote to lug beers to a friends house for tastings, etc. Other than that, it sits proudly in the cellar.

me and some friends are trying to determine which is the bigger whale at this point, b1 Damon or DBD

If I didn't buy so many bottles every time, and just got 4 750mL, the tote would be pretty convenient, wouldn't it?

ISO Leaning Maples milk crate style bulk carrier that can hold 15x 750mL...

I was thinking more of a standing push cart.... with multiple shelfs capable of holding 15x750 ml bottles.

Who wants to carry their beer?

Love it. Somebody get a quote from Darren, I'm in.

Gonna be pricey.....

Also can someone tell me how the totes were announced. Obviously they are no longer available, but I dont see any mention of them on the website or any social media site ?

 

[ShogoKawada]

I think the totes are totes sweet. GET IT?
