Probably my favorite Hill IPA or DIPA

Double Citra and Double Galaxy were the first two HF beers I had and they were so. damn. good. The thought of the two of them having an IPA baby gives me all the good feels.

I think I went through six growlers in ten days.

Dangerously good
 
One of our guys dropped out this morning. If Bill still has his, you've got your pair at cost
Mines gone! I have a feeling there will be a few extra tickets available from people in line today though. I know two guys who basically just started asking people in bottle line at FoFA if they ha tickets and each ended up getting in.
 
Fantastic Zwanze! Thanks to the Hill Farmstead staff for their hard work and for remaining open on Saturday for retail. The bottle only line went really fast. I took a few photos:

Yes, they are very similar minus the wine barrel treatment E. gets. So I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise to me that I didn't enjoy Dorothy at all. The nose is nice, but I find it super bitter and unbalanced, really hard to drink. Which is exactly how I felt about the bottle of E. from the 2nd batch that I had a little over a year ago. This new batch of E. (b3) also wasn't a favorite of mine when fresh, but it has definitely developed in the bottle and I really enjoyed the last one I drank.

Perhaps its just not a style I enjoy. I guess that just means more Dorothy for you guys. You're welcome.

I'm kind of with you. I thought it was definitely enjoyable and a great beer for the style, but I'm just not that interested in farmhouse pale ales.
 
Out of curiosity, does anyone know the vintages that were being poured at Zwanze? I think I heard Tarpey say that Vig was 2012
Correct, I believe we saw the Vig keg was dated 2012. The Iris Grand Cru was I believe kegged last year because I think that was a Zwanze exclusive in 2013 (it was on at Parker last year).
 
Heading to HF on Friday. How early do the lines start forming? I don't want to get there too early and upset anyone, but if the norm is for folks to start lining up 30 min prior or something like that, then I can do that. Just don't want to get there right at 12 and have an hour plus wait.

I'd get there at 10:30 in all honesty. Getting there at noon will be a 2-3 hour wait

Go in the afternoon between 3-4 and probably have a shorter wait than the hour and a half you'd be waiting if you went at 10:30, or the possibly more than hour and a half wait if you showed up between 12-1
