[HopStunna]

Just cracked a 5/2014 Swanyay the other day and it was soo damn good. If this is what he was talking about when he says #originalsoigné then I might have to go up and spend my life savings on it.

 

[axeman91821]

I like Soigne with some time on it, but fresh I usually find the lime to be just a little too intense for my taste.

 

[thechrislife]

Man, I don't agree at all. I love all the citrus going on in fresh Soigne.

 

[bsc]

i love all the soigne at all times.

Anyone with at&t want to elaborate on service near the brewery. I know i can make calls at the brewery, but how is the service at Parker pie ? Or just any significant info would be great. My sprint contract ends this month and I refuse to give them another cent when I can't make a 911 call after Lyndonville.

I have AT&T and had no problem with signal @HF when there's not that many people around. Internet worked fine, just a little slow (calls were fine). But signal is bad/spotty when there's any type of crowds. Internet signal was nonexistent during FOFA.
I don't specifically recall having any signal troubles at Parker Pie.
I'm just an out of towner though, so maybe a local or someone with more experience can verify my statements.

Can't speak to AT&T, but Verizon has been excellent at HF lately. Parker Pie is another story, but they do have wifi.

It's basically a rule that all employees at the brewery have AT&T (best reception in the immediate area). So there's that

My network switches to AT&T when I cross the border. No issues with phone service at Hill (though Data is slow). For whatever reason if I cross the road to Leaning Maples my data picks up no problem.

Parker is hit or miss for both phone service and data, usually with far more misses. Once you turn back onto the 16 in Glover service picks up again no problem.

Had a great first time at Hill Farmstead today! Aside from bank issues, the oysters, cheese plates and tasters were all on point. amk and myself went a little bit overboard on growlers, bottles and glassware, though looking forward to winding down with Hen of the Wood and Heady on tap.

Heady is back on tap? When I was in VT in July it was cans only everywhere. Or is that a special thing with HotW?

Iirc, HotW is the only place that ever has it on tap.

This is what our server at HotW said as well. The food is definitely the star there though, well worth making a reservation to go if you're in the area.

Back when you could still get draft samples of it at the cannery, there were three places: the cannery, pro pig, and HoTW. Pro Pig doesn't have draft anymore?

The Cannery was just for samples, they didn't fill growlers or anything. I thought Pro Pig was only cans but I guess I could be wrong on that.

They def had draft pours at Pig back in the day. I *THINK*, but could be wrong, that when they first closed the cannery and were sending a few kegs of the other stuff (Ouroboros, El Jefe, etc.) to Blackback, Reservoir, etc., that they also got kegs of Heady.

They for sure had it on draft at Pro Pig back in November 2013. Not sure when they stopped carrying it on draft, but it was presumably sometime between then and a year after because it wasn't on in Dec 2014.

When I was going up regularly in 2012 you could get full pours on draft at pro pig, but I don't think they filled growlers (hell I don't think I've ever seen a growler filled there). Cannery was definitely samples only. "Hi we sell one beer - would you like samples of that one beer? No? Just 5 cases? Would you like to borrow our hand truck?" So awesome.

There were definitely not growlers. All I was saying was that there were three places you could get it on draft (even if one was just samples..)

Pro Pig hasn't had it on draft for 6 months to a year at this point. Used to ALWAYS be on though.

Flora Blueberry onsite today

They had 3 total bottles available Friday as well. Was super tasty. Still liked Plum better though.

 

[Dino1]

Apparently CD16 kicked over the weekend.

Well, for take home at least.

Is it true you can buy kegs to go? The ultimate dream would be to have fresh Hill on tap during the summer
