Hill Farmstead thread

[tehzachatak]

I've always found it odd that there are HF beers labeled as farmhouse and as farmstead. With Hill's seemingly strict perspective on semantics, I'm assuming there's a reason for the distinction. I'd like to know what it is, purely out of curiosity.

Not sure if this is actually the reason, but my understanding has always been that they just use up the last batch of labels (a la De Cam) before moving on to the next one - which has led to what appear to be some oddities at times. But I would imagine Dorothy and the new Arthur labels have been printed pretty recently, soooo I dunno.

The FoFA info page has been updated with registration info, more beers, and a button to register for the lottery:

The ticket registration begins Weds., May 20, 2015, at 8 a.m. EST. It remains open until Weds., May 27, 2015 at 5 p.m.

Anyone know if tix are transferrable again this year?

FoFA is always such a letdown. I don't think anyone should even bother trying to get tickets. No one goes there anymore, it's too crowded. Besides, it always rains for HF fests. ALWAYS. Who wants to deal with that ****?! Trust me: don't bother.

Thanks! I thought someone in this thread said that it fell off a bit since it's release, but I'm glad that isn't the case.

Does anyone know if their new tasting/shop room is open now or are they still selling growlers/bottles in the older location?

No chance. They haven't even built the bar yet.

Had one last week. T'was fantastic. It's the only one I've had so I can't compare fresh v. aged.

How many attendees have there been in the past for fofa?

There are a ton of complex proteins in buckwheat that take more time to break down than those found in other malts/adjuncts. I had one recently and it's gueuze-like now. It'll keep kicking for awhile.

It was actually originally two cases of Anna. Actually, that was someone else, wasn't it. This was just a case of Anna and a Sarrasin.
