Hill Farmstead thread

I assume you're joking. Having been there yesterday there was no one with one or two growlers to be filled, while there numerous people dragging coolers full of growlers Unless there was some problem with the eqiluipment yesterday, when I was there which was early the line was moving very slowly. I'm assuming this was due to the people with 12 plus growlers to be filled. But I could be wrong.

Internet was down for about the first 20-30 minutes.

Swinging by quickly today before finding somewhere to watch baseball. Any word on a food truck this week?

No more food trucks. Cheese plates provided on-site for the time being.

I was there yesterday and only filled two growlers. CD13 was incredible and Leaves of Grass made me take pause and reconsider the boundaries of beer. Smooth, chill experience all around.

FYI: leaves of grass sold out around 3 yesterday.

I made an off-hand comment about this right after FoFA, but is anyone potentially interested in doing a trip up to HF/Vermont (and getting a rental place for a few days ala Shitlord Manor) over Thanksgiving? I know most of you actually probably have families and **** to spend time with then, but a few of my friends down here and I who are transplants with nothing much else to do were discussing the idea.

I would but you're likely to be up there longer than I can stay.
was thinking of doing a cannonball run that same weekend...

Was thinking something like Wednesday through Saturday, probably leaving Saturday because there's sure as **** no way I'm doing the entire drive home on Sunday from Vermont.

So you'll travel to buy beer but not to see your family?

Family is in northwestern Canada and Thanksgiving already happened two weeks ago there.

I wish I could do something like that soon... my friends just never seem to have free schedules... obviously some have families and more commitments than myself... and others are just hard to plan with.

so I ended up doing more 1 or 2 night trips... that's the plan for the next few months..

I will get a place though so we can do 2-3 nights up there soon...

Going over Christmas holidays for a few weeks. I only do 3000 mile international trips sporadically.

Did you ask you Facebook friends?

 

[JulianB1]

**** no, there's a ton of people on there I wouldn't even dream of inviting on such a trip.

What about the GF's family?

 

[JulianB1]

What about the GF's family?

Her dad drinks Coors Light and her mom occasionally drinks Arbor Mist. Also according to her Thanksgiving isn't a big deal with her family (Christmas is) so I'm not under any guilt orders to be in town for it.

No worries. I just need a couple days away at this point, and I liked the look of those guest taps at Hill.

Any other year, yes. My in-laws live in Southern/Mid VT and we are usually there every Thanksgiving.

This year we're going to Key West and coming back Thanksgiving Eve, so we're staying in town with my parents.

Bummer.
