almost 2x the price of HF saisons. kinda surprised anyone buys them!

They aren't easily accessible for a lot of people, that's why I'll buy some

 

[dabaloons]

What cellar reserve?

IN REFERENCE TO FOFA.

 

[bsc]

they used to be the price of a 750 or more...

I was surprised people bought them then too!
Shows you how well priced the shelfie saisons are.

Wat?
They're widely distro'd and sit on shelves in some places due to price:size. Compared to HF accessibility and price:size there is no way I'd waste trunk/suitcase capacity on CS.
Not to mention, I've not been overly impressed with anything I've had by them.
YES, I'm a CS hater!

Chad makes great beers...
and HF "shelf" saisons are priced better than anything...
that said, I still welcome a Vielle when it's around down here... and the price tag is very good at HF compared to what I'm likely to find it for...

All the CS I've seen collecting dust is the same price or maybe $1 more.

The fella at Pizza Boy gunna be pissed.

So if you are 'partners' with the brewery then you would be allowed to use such terminology? I don't understand how this TM thing works I guess...Not that I fully care...

OH, and in other news...
Blackback has 10 HF brews on tap. Almost laughable. I'm actually glad to see them back in the good graces...

In NJ since we don't have any Shelton presence anymore they are not on shelves, not sure I've seen in PA either.

Oh well the more stuff for sale when I'm here at HF the better imo

There's an OK supply of CS and Shelton stuff at Stowe Bev and Craft Beer cellar in Waterbury.

Just got here and it's back to the snake line. Kinda annoyed haha, I liked the ticket system. Wonder why they switched back...

 

[lopejuice1]

Maybe it's just for the holiday weekend? Honestly last time I was there on a busy Saturday it was pretty bad with the ticketing system. Didn't even end up getting my last couple tastings because it wasn't worth the wait. Don't understand why they can't just add a couple more taps and employees when it's busy...

so much space for new taps!!!!!!!!!!!

Was changed back for the holiday week. Back to order cards next week.

 

[GreenMtnMike]

I was up every other week for the past couple of months and it just got more confusing each time. It also looked like it was a lot of extra steps for all of the employees.

 

[Fahmie25]

So I talked to Phil and he basically echoed what people have said in terms of what happens when it gets busy. He said Wednesday was super busy and it was basically a shitshow because he spent the entire day explaining how everything worked and didn't fill a growler all day. Also said the tasting line ended up wrapping around the building so they decided to switch it back. Still an imperfect system it seems like, but they are working hard to figure out what will be best when the extension opens (still at least a few weeks out, but they said they might open it up for some trial runs in the coming weeks)
