I hope bob or whoever else is running the blog continues to do posts like this. As a failing Hill Farmstead historian, I like documented blog posts w/ label, back story and other information.
Agreed, go back and read the very, very early entries on the HF site. Loved that ****, wish he had the time (or desire) to make posts like that still.
 
It'd be pretty damn cool if this trend of extended aging took off. It seems that the results are usually fantastic.

For a recent example:

Solstice Stout, the blend Solar Eclipse and 4D that Kuhnhenn apparently blended by mistake because a brewer was drunk and then barrel-aged for 3 years, was absolutely wonderful.

Dirty Horse is a perfect example.
Urbain completely forgot about it and eventually it turned out fantastic.

Ha yep, I believe the same happened with an Avery sour. Intentional would be wonderful too. The AB Smuttynose stout that spent four years in barrels may or may not have been accidental, but it was great too.
 
I should of move to VT when I went up for the first time in 96'... Hopefully in the near future I'll be able to traveled there for longer period more then the 2 times a year I go now...
 
^I feel the same way :(

At least I have a case of Vermontoise to keep me going until August!
 
Trying to figure out how I can do the same. Earnings are low enough that I can pretty much move anywhere and get by (funny how that works). Main obstacle is losing proximity to both the wife and my family especially with a baby.

I read this at first to mean moving away from your wife and baby to come to VT would be hard (but an obstacle that could be overcome). Was like, damn, dude loves HF. Then I realized that I think you meant moving away from both of your families would be hard. Whatevs man, get you some flannel, grow a beard, swear off Mrs. Butterworth's forever, and come on up.
