Hill Farmstead thread

[Number45]

Absolutely can't wait to try Table Dororthy. Regular Dorothy has been absolutely dialed in for the last half a year, it's becoming a favorite of mine.

Glad to hear some good reviews on Mutual Admiration...I need to get my ass up there to get some! Also, SS#5 appears to be coming up again...

• Anna: Farmstead Ale brewed with honey and aged in Foudres. 750ml, $10.

 

[grandmeaulnes]

probably no way anna sits until i head up in 3 weeks, right

 

[markgugs]

seriously though... I hope Table Dorothy is put in heavy rotation on their brewing schedule... it's even better than regular fresh Dorothy... lost a tad of the sweetness but the fruit flavors of the hops stand out... it's probably the ideal beer for dinner or just long sessions of drinking

that sounds awful and not like something I'd ever drink

Definitely could last that long. I would think it'll last for a few weeks given how long their bottles have lasted recently

I think it's cool that HF has guest bottles, especially when it's lambic imports, esoteric stuff from Canada/Alaska, etc. But I can't figure out who would show up there, see Anna, Soigne, Convivial, et al for sale at $10 for a 750, and then drop $9 on 375s of the Crooked Stave Petite Sours.

true but the Petit Blueberry's they're selling might be from last years cellar reserve. they were suppose to have it at FOFA but had the '15 instead. i questioned the CS guy about it and he said "oh **** you're right, Shaun probably kept them to sell or drink himself"

some visitors come from states that don't see those beers.. i've purchased some of the crooked stave stuff at Hill bc NJ get's hosed on Shelton stuff.. we get none... Philly may get some but **** is snatched up super fast... just a little added bonus which is cool by me... also some people there may have never heard of crooked stave.. not all HF visitors are total craft aficionado's

That was Chad Yakobson, the owner/brewer of CS. One of the nicest, coolest guys in craft.

where did it say it was too be from the CR? I'd assume there can't be many if at all bottles left from that.

guess I don't re-call, either way didn't bother me not sure I went over to CS at all during the day. Being a member for 3 years I had enough of there beers over the years...

For what one average guy on TBs opinion is worth, if its the 2014 blueberry, buy it! Had one about 2 months ago and loved it and was pumped it came out and got a case for my store. Opened a 2015 and while still good, not even close to the 2014. 2014 really was one of the best blueberry sours ive had this side of blabaer. Wasn't watery and really refined with just a tiny bit of blueberry weirdness.

This! The 2014 Blueberry is ******* amazing. Probably my favorite beer of 2014. I only have one left

Edit: How did you buy a case of CR?

 

[atomicskis5]

For the store I own lol. Bought one bottle for myself actually, but sold the others.

they had cases of a member beer left to sell?

 

[TheMitz]

Oh I think he means a case of 2015..maybe?

 

[atomicskis5]

Yes I got a case of 2015 lol wish I had a case of 2014 id be high on blueberries...

 

[TheMitz]

For anyone wondering, the 2014 CR batch should have blue wax, the 2015 is unwaxed.

Proof that wax is better. not srs

I'm going to HF for the first time tomorrow - seems like good timing, although I guess there's never a bad time to go. (I've packed a couple of bottle sof lambic if anyone from here is heading up and fancies some bottles that have been shaken up by three sets of baggage handlers in three countries.)

I'll be there Saturday morning if you're still there. Lmk

 

[andrewdrinks]

I'll be off tomorrow morning. Great time at HF today - that CD13...

Will be in Pro Pig tonight if anyone wants to relieve me of my last couple bottles from Belgium.
