Hill Farmstead thread

Mimosa is still tasting great but is definitely going over the hill compared to a year ago.
The brightness and barrel qualities it used to have are fading and it now has surprisingly citra-dominant flavor.

If I was sitting on a bottle, I would get to drinking it sooner than later.

Or trade it to me

Found the same thing with E., recently. Hoping this next batch ages better.

Had my last E. and Art a couple of months ago. I thought it was still fantastic.

Maybe ours wasn't cellared properly. Was from a friend at a bottle share. We all agreed something was off about the bottle.

I actually had asked Shaun via twitter if he had drank them recently and he had and said they were drinking great but that he recommended drinking them soon as he wasn't sure if it would continue to still be that good. So I opened both and in December and I think we all thought there were drinking beautifully.

I think 95% of traders "cellar" their beer in closets.

anyone go up today know if there is any Norma left?
How about if I just check the website. Great Thanks. The answer is no. Bring on E.

 

[Aaronthebarbarian]

Haha. I'm pretty sure I would have sex with someone's mom for a bottle of ba everett

Hit refresh? It's crossed out on the retail page with a note saying sold out

Major bummer. Finally got my brother to take vacation and go up with me and of course no bottles listed for Wednesday.

The last time the shelves were dry, older bottles were popping up at a 1/pp limit. I wouldn't expect it, but you may get lucky

I mean I'll be happy to go up, fill my growlers, and nab some Toppers but more bummed for my brother who is taking his first trip up there.

ah, I'm looking at the bottle release page, not the retail page

...Yet...

 

[MikeG1]

Given how many bottles he has on the upcoming releases page, I'd say you have a pretty good chance of snagging something on Wednesday. Madness 3, perhaps?

 

[GreenMtnMike]

I just found out I'm heading up for spring break (mud break?) next month. Is it wrong to hope that a massive tax bill prompts a cellar clearing bottle sell-off on April 16th?

 

[parkingphi]

I agree with MikeG, I'm sure there'll be someone thing on the shelves. Also fairly common for the retail page not to be updated the days before Wednesday.

 

[BDK82]

Cash business, guessing they pay quarterly estimates, but I'll be there the 17th, so lets hope...

 

[gregkoko]

Anyone else gonna be in Waterbury Tuesday night? Hoping to make it early enough to grab food from Pro Pig before the kitchen closes. Staying at the stagecoach

 

[parkingphi]

Love the Old Stagecoach Inn.

 

[gregkoko]

Dat breakfast

 

[OnryAndMean]

M&C #3 are listed as on the shelf now on the bottle release page

 

[Adam Jackson]

Please last until next week. Dear lord up above, I don't pray often but this is important.

 

[facesnorth1]

Also CD #12 was removed from the list.

 

[gregkoko]

Growlers of Susan, Abner, Citra, bottle of M&C3, Vermontoise...yeah that's a solid trip.

Fingers are crossed here as well...

Seems I miss SOMETHING every time I go away lol
