Hill Farmstead thread

I think extending it in itself was a pretty awesome thing to do... can't think that anyone could have had a bad time.

oh for sure! we had a blast just busting balls cause i've been in the car all day hahaha =]

anyone love Works of Love SARA as much as i did!?

EDIT: also sorry we dipped out so quick last night OsLovesBeer, my friend thought he was gonna throw up lol

 

[Os]

I thought Works of Love was criminally over looked... Mercy Mercy too.

Mercy mercy was one of the beers I really enjoyed.

IMO, Sara coulda have done a little better than farmhouse noir though. Especially when side project is bringing it with three delicious kegs.

Allagash also stayed home unfortunately. It almost seems like they were called up an hour before the show and all they had in the truck was that century saison. Too bad..

Aslo, not a complaint but a HF ipa/pale ale would have been extremely enjoyable to cleanse the palate between big sour beers.

Definitely one of the best fest nonetheless. Not over crowded so waiting in line doesn't seem endless.

At 100$ a ticket, food should be included though. Or at least not run out of it.

Happy to have spent some time with OsLovesBeer (and his gang of hooligans) Gene , Ben MKtheGeneral bdogg

The house was a little crazy but if you can't follow the general's pace, then I suggest you stay home.

i probably drank 10 pours of magic anna. so so good. cd6 was kinda harsh.

fdf was too acidic but it was solid. i drank no CS beers whatsoever.

Batch 50 was really really good

I might have told you this after the fest but i did mention this to Shaun (right after he told me to smile and enjoy myself) and he said that he agreed but it wouldn't fit in with the Farmhouse theme. Hoping i can convince him otherwise before next year.

I almost made a joke about that but figured only 5 people would get it

I think we were discussing Dorothy... fresh Dorothy could do the job next year

Agreed on having something like Edward on. E. was one of my favorite beers of the day because the hop character was a nice change of pace from many of the others.

I can see Shaun's point about a pale ale not fitting the farmhouse theme, but I think his beers fit the theme regardless. I mean, they are brewed on a farm right?

I have sour beer coming out of my pours...I plan on only eating antacids for the rest of the week.

Yesterday in a word: Rustic™

Same as it ever was re:food, beer. Can nitpick but it's more fun to just enjoy.

People watching was exceptional, as always. Enjoyed the fanboi's taking lots of sample/bottle pics and selfies. Lots of new faces this year.

 

[bsc]

oldp0rt must've missed the 'tome. Talk about palate cleanser.

 

[dirtinabottle]

Wife and I loved the event. First timers. Good food, great people, interesting music, perfect weather, and exceptional brews.

stop the presses folks, a side project beer being too acidic?

 

[SecretSquirrel]

no never, ever..,.

 

[bsc]

Personally didn't find fdf or any of the side project stuff to be too acidic

personally didn't try any of the three or four that were there. I was too busy drinking the HFs that never had a line

 

[facesnorth1]

interesting music

Anybody remember the name of that funky jazz band from the 3rd anniversary, kinda in the style of Miles Davis 70's stuff? Want them back bad!

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

Big name beers that had literally or virtually no wait for the majority of their available time:
Flora
E.
Magic Anna
CD6
Mercy Mercy


My girlfriend and I must have consumed an entire bottle of Mercy Mercy to the dome. Sante was totally slept on, probably due to no apricots. Same with Flora pours - a few of those complemented Meghan's tacos something proper. CD6, E. 2014 and Norma 2013 were all changing in a way I didn't love, but on the whole Shaun's beers were highly enjoyable and B & T definitely stole the show.

 

[PrinceCaspian]

I didn't get to try many of the beers, but my personal highlight was meeting many of you generous dudes at the fundraising table. We haven't done the final count yet, but it looks like it will be in the neighborhood of $9,000. About half of that, I would guess, was in the Ann bucket.

Coworker (different one from last time) is a homebrewer and went to HF last week or so for the first time. Said he was disappointed by what he tried (S&S, Abner, Everett, Abner, Susan, Legitimacy), so I ask him to make something better and let me try it.

 

[bsc]

does he brew diacetyl laden cider or just lack taste buds??

 

[RochesterAaron1]

I thought the Tired Hands beers last year were nice palate cleansers (I feel funny even typing that) because they weren't nearly as acidic as everything else being poured. Bummed I missed this year.

Seriously upset at missing this year's FoFA, glad it sounds like it was a great fest for everyone. Plus, I don't think it rained or snowed which might be a first for a HF fest!

Being & Time: many people seemed to love it. Does it compare to anything else? Also, was that a keg of B&T or was this all from the bottles from a couple years ago?

B&T was all bottles. reminded me of a "lambic" in taste

2 cases (24) of 375s is what i saw.
