Annie, not Ann. Reported.

New beer up.

Annie (1913-1995) was our Great grandfathers adopted red-headed sister, and Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to her and her 13 siblings. In her honor, this strong red ale is crafted to mimic her free spirit and desperate will to fit in. Vermont Organic Wheat, European and American hops, our distinctive farmhouse yeast and water from Annie's well. Unfiltered and naturally carbonated, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Annie.

I had a patient who had a procedure called ANNgioplasty (heart surgery).

Ironically his family said he likes to drink craft beer. I wouldve told him about Ann but didnt think it was the appropriate time or place. His sisters name ? ANN

Its been established that I think buying 9+ cases of beer to turn around and sell to 'friends' is excessive.

I'm sure you remember that HF didn't have growler limits or bottle limits (sans special releases) until someone decided to buy 37 growlers and 13 cases in one trip for 'friends'. Now everyone is limited because of 1 groups greed.

Please continue to bring this up anytime I post, it won't change my opinion, man.

wow are you really comparing JulianB to hayden? that is rly rude

Ugh I'm out. Was hoping the pickup window was more flexible. Also, $47/bottle.

 

[skrip]

$47 doesn't seem so bad since i thought it was gonna be around $60 lol

 

[Don2]

i think $45 a bottle is actually less than what most of us were thinking. I like this concept, although not a fan of the $5.37 non refundable entry fee.

That window I was hoping for a full month, but understand that this cuts down on the number of entrants.

 

[Jspriest]

Just like a concert!

HF must have made a huge deal with Freshtix (I've never even heard of them). They get $5.37 for every entry - win or lose, that's insane.

 

[MordorMongo]

I wish I owned this Freshtix deal. Sounds like a sweet gig.

Five bucks per entry, am I reading that correctly?

Freshtix will charge a flat service charge of $5.37 for each entry at sign up (applied to winning entries; those who do not win will be refunded!).

Turns out the dude running Freshtix is Shaunie's brother's best friend's illegitimate son.

Who would have guessed it?

Ok I need to work on reading comprehension, I didn't see that anywhere.

Edit: they added in the part in parenthesis, I still have the original page loaded and it didn't have that.
What's the point of the service fee then?

 

[phishphorce]

wow so now we dont have to write an essay but we have to spend 5.37 just to have the opportunity to maybe win a beer?

I've read over it several times and still can't figure out exactly which components are refundable and which are not. Also it's not at all clear if you have the entire pickup window to get the bottle, or if you are going to be assigned a specific time.

That page couldn't be more confusing if they tried to make it that way deliberately.

 

[blckout201]

$5 just to enter....weak

 

[MordorMongo]

I think I may write an unsolicited essay anyway. I was looking forward to it.

If you click on the Freshtix link you find out that each lottery is for a specific day of pickup only.

You have to enter and pick a day, or you can enter for each day but you will be assigned a day based on your entry(ies) and which one(s) win

 

[skrip]

you get the $5 back if you lose haha no one can read

 

[Ataraxia1]

If I understood the entry rules correctly, there'd basically be more entries for Friday and even more for Saturday? If you enter for all four days and get unimaginably lucky, you'd still have to show up for all four of those days.

Edit: Unless you are assigned a particular day (or get to pick one yourself) to pick them all up should you win multiples

 

[MikeG1]

FT: 4 entries plus my old driver's license - alter as you please
ISO: Kiwi Herman x 4

Correct. I'm hoping that I get the flu and have to call in that weds, thurs and fri. Weird that I live in Boston and my doctor is in Greensboro Bend, VT, but whatever.

 

[phishphorce]

I have a dup of my current drivers license since I thought i lost it but I found it a year later in my ski parka.

Anyone 6'7" and ugly as sin can use it to mule me some Ann.
