Guess squatch is keeping leftovers end of day Saturday

Or he's trolling.

Do people feel the new system makes things go faster? The environment is definitely more enjoyable, but I went a couple weeks ago and it took them 2+ hours to serve 26 people (walked in at 11:20 and they were on #10, my ticket was #36). At Treehouse/Trillium they serve 50+ people an hour. Any thoughts on what accounts for the difference?

Not sure but things did seem slow on my last visit.

that is the going early tax. always takes longer.

Shouldn't service speed be consistent independent of the time of day?

 

[bsc]

figure many of the people bothering to show up early are also trying to get fills of many of the same beers. since they don't have multiple taps, if everyone wants s&s4, it'll take longer

Plenty of differences between the locations.
Hill has bottles (up to 8 options at times), merchandise, growler fills (with usually 10 options), and now a separate tasting room with full pours and flights. Once the growler line gets long, people bail and go bottles only. Then someone who was filling growlers stops that to take all the bottles only orders and expedite those orders as then the order cards being processed slows down. Typically though, it's 3 minutes an order. Also, two plus weeks ago was full on tourist season where 80%+ of customers are new customers who aren't sure what they want and don't know the difference between a growler and bottle.

Not sure if anyone else has popped a sankt bottle yet, but mine was basically still...think I'm gonna let the rest of mine sit for quite a while haha...anyone else find this? This was the first pour...

My buddy opened 3 bottles from his case of sankt. All flat.

 

[AutumnBeerLove]

Sankt Hans was purposely carbonated less than most of the saisons from Hill Farmstead. It should not be pouring flat, however. This is from a QC pour at the brewery. Always remember that this style of beer should not be poured near 32 degrees...

I would also not recommend putting ice cubes in your Sankt Hans as well as serving it at 100 degrees Celsius.

I do all my beer serving in Kelvin (the only real temperature measurement). Can you please convert for me?

March '15 Arthur is divine. Key lime pie. That is all.

Anyone from Boston going to pick up their Cuvee on the 17th that would want to carpool?

rwitter just announced that HF was bought by Anchorage Brewing for a cool $10 mill. Rumor is Shaun Hill is using the money to buy a tupee and he's running for President. More at 11...

 

[1arrogantbastard]

Are we being trolled, or is there something to this?

Hill Farmstead distro'd exclusively in Alaska, no longer available at the brewery. How does this affect trade value?

You think it's bad now, just wait until people are complaining about losing body parts to frostbite while waiting for Art Cuvee.

That **** would be a lottery bro.

Not to mention all the Polar Bear mules. I dare you to call out one of them for cutting.

 

[MKtheGeneral]

You guys keep hypothesizing and making your jokes.. I'm going to start buying shares of Alaska Airlines.
