Hill Farmstead thread

[Dino1]

I believe they are pouring Soigne tastes from bottles

yeedog told me that IS the case.

 

[MKtheGeneral]

My plan would be to go up very early Friday morning from NJ, work remotely from VT, stay the night in Waterbury and re-visit on Saturday. If interested, and willing to 1) leave around 3am and 2) splitting gas costs, msg me.

 

[acurtis]

Is there anywhere with Hardwick with wifi. Preferably a coffee shop or the like?

Positive Pie

 

[tehzachatak]

tehzachatak wanna take a half day Friday, go up, and come back Sat? Can split a room

Want and would, but can't, on the Cape all weekend (edit: i guess this isn't a bad thing in of itself. will probably be drinking the entire time, my cellar has gone way above what it should be, gonna knock out some A+ **** this weekend!)

Yeah, that's what I figured, hence the no growlers thing on that, but still 7 other beers on for growler fills per the website...

 

[MikeG1]

Anyone have any idea on the bottle count of Flaeber? Was it a single barrel?

 

[falc0n26001]

Screencap falc0n2600?

Anyways, the fabled blueberry Flora is on the board now (well maybe not so much fabled as cherry Flora)

I should've taken a screenshot. It was a guy trading beer for someone willing to impersonate Shaun Hill so that he could feel like he is getting the Hill Farmstead experience without going up there. Or something like that. It was very silly. Too silly for BA, it seems!

Seeing as how the single barrel Civil Disobedience releases were in 375mls and limit 1, I'd say there's 1.5 barrels of Flora Blaeber due to it being in 500mls and limit 1.

As to where the other half barrel went, who knows?
Shaun filled a tub with it to soak in?
Used to marinate some kraut for VT reubenz?
Sent to Cantillon to blend with next year's Blaeber so you can blueberry while you blueberry?

Ooh that one... yeah, was actually pretty bland last time I read it. Which I guess is still even too much for that site

Saisons are actually going to be available on draft as part of the tasting menu, starting with Soigné this week.

Also, confirmed 7 draft lines for growler fills is correct.

Thrilled to see Mary coming on!

Dope. Is this a one-time-ish thing because of a lot of beer being ready, or is seven lines going to be the new six?

 

[Osyrus]

Erm... I misspoke, so disregard. Mary is coming on this week. Still only 6 draft lines for growler fills, 7th is saison for tastings only.

Wait, so what's wrong with the website? 7 drafts + soigne for tastings listed. Is Mary not on yet?

 

[DelToro]

If no one shows up to get Blueberry Flora without knives on them I will be sorely disappointed.

 

[MikeG1]

I'm in line already, machete in hand.

Indeed, not on yet, but will definitely be coming on shortly....

Just updated - 3 gallons of Harlan left. Mary goes on when that kicks.

So, at the average demand for Harlan, that should be, what, some time in August?

 

[Rootz121]

hey i bought some

Someone has to.

 

[bahnfire]

Once again, poor Harlan. I'll be picking some up if it is still around when I make it up.

 

[bearsonacid1]

Screw you guys. Harlan is one of my favorite HF beers.

Practically every american style beer he makes has Columbus in it.

and yet still sells faster than George.

 

[Calcifer]

Damn, I was hoping Blueberry Flora wouldn't go on sale for another few weeks. Gonna be there on the 20th and 21st...

I'm coming out at the end of June for the American Brewers Guild Residential week. I know this is a HF thread and I am planning on making the trip up when I get there and at the tail end of the trip before I head home. Any advice on restaurants/bars/places to stay when I am not in Middlebury? Looking forward to coming out. Haven't been to VT since well before my drinking age. Thanks for the advice in advance!

I'm not from the area but planning a trip in late July. Check out this thread, it has been a huge help and great starting point for me.
