Who's busting open an Ann today?

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

Didn't SS5 just come on recently? SS6 was on for a while (went on at the same time as the Flora release) but only kicked not long ago.

I'm not 100% sure, you could be right. I know ss5 and ss6 were on at the same time for awhile so I might have mixed them up.

Today marks 3 week since SS5 went on. Happened to be added a day I went, 1/14.

It's ok, I am persona non grata at both HF and RB so I'm cool with that. I'll just keep updating the coolest beer site ever.

How was the growler line?

 

[Os]

So it looks like they have 2 new kegerators... only one is a replacement and they are now up to 12 taps... making it easier to do more growler fills simultaneously

 

[omgeezo]

Right but how many new Phils do they have?

 

[averagjoe3]

How was the growler line?

i was 10th or so, and was out of there in 40 min.

 

[Evan1212]

i was 10th or so, and was out of there in 40 min.

I was like 5th or 6th in line and was out of there before noon!

 

[averagjoe3]

yep, ditto

 

[SeaWatchman]

Keeping w/ that rustic tradition, I suppose.

 

[Thevicster]

Heads up to anyone heading up to HF tomorrow by way of the western part of VT, we're getting hit with another storm tonite/tomorrow, so plan accordingly

 

[PrinceCaspian]

(While this isn't necessarily HF related, it is SeaWatchman related, which makes it HF related, right?)

Rolling Stone is reporting that Harper Lee was moved to write her first novel since To Kill a Mockingbird--published 50 years ago--as a long love letter our very own SeaWatchman. In the book, she supports every crazy opinion he has ever shared. Look no further than the title, Go Set a Watchman.

Someone posted somewhere (maybe not on this site) to bring extra wiper fluid... Dude wasn't kidding, I'm on my third gallon and I'm still in VT. Literally had to pull over and clean windshield by hand at one point because I couslnt see and was out of fluid.

HF was just about as dead as I've ever seen it today. In and out pretty fast even with five growlers

Is it because it's snowing, so salt is applied, which turns into salty spray? Should be clear and cold tomorrow so I'm hoping it's not as grimy out

Not snowing at all. Just heavy salt down. Roads are actually really good. Southern New Hampshire was far and away the worst roads on my trip.

On the ride home yesterday I had to pull over twice and use snow to clear my windshield.

Yesterday Rt 100 from Waterbury to Hardwick was dicey in the AM, and 16 from Parker Pie to Positive Pie was pretty terrible. One past Positive Pie (going straight to Montpelier), it was pretty much perfect the rest of the way though.
