I guess I need to try another vintage then, because the bottle of Vera I had was super underwhelming. I've heard bad things about that year's release (purchased in 2014) though.

I've had '13-'15 and '13 was my fav by far. can't wait for this years iteration.

...right, when people include it in a list of 'shelfies' they're ISO

Sankt Hans report from this weekend. Slightly more carbed than I recall, but the taste. Ugh. Tasted really flat. Finished the bottle. Sad.

Is there any chance that FlorenceFlorence runs out before Thursday afternoon?

I have loved every Vera I've ever had except 2014, which I was not a fan of.

hmmm... 2014 was the year that the dandelions were picked wet.. definitely gave the beer a distinct flavor.

I just looked at some notes and I'm clearly misremembering, because I've had 2014 Vera multiple times and enjoyed it quite a lot each time. I am not sure what I'm thinking of but based on my notes I've never had a Vera I didn't like.

'15 Vera is pretty perfect. Need moar.

And I like Sankt despite the carb issue, to each their own.

 

[ThatJackOC]

Yup. Something out next week with details.

Would love to be looped in on this. Have a group of 4 interested.

Silent addition of Arthur to bottles available at the retail shop!!!

 

[jupiter6xx]

Arthur, Florence, & Clara all available... that's the stuff dreams are made of (well moreso if I wasn't 1500 miles away, but still)

It wasn't silent. I screamed it from the Tasting room deck first.

Isn't it still silent if you're closed? The whole tree in the woods thing, if no one is around to hear it, did it make noise?

 

[StevonHanby]

ISO: Arthur and Florence bottles

FT: Jackie O's love?

 

[SecretSquirrel]

Yup. Something out next week with details.

was able to secure a tix and looking for a ride as well from BW Waterbury if you're looking for another person.

How long do we think it will take before one of the HF investors convinces Shaun Hill that canning Susan/Edward etc couldn't possibly be a bad idea and would make a lot of money?

I'm quite sure Shaun is aware of cans and many other ways to make more money...

Like stifling lambic distro to the rest of the state so there's more to serve in house?

not sure how much he's had in house... but seems to me that VT is getting less now all together. Not sure if the VT rep leaving Shelton had anything to do with it...

I really don't know though dude... just saying, canning and making more money is not the only/top objective...

Rule #1 of craft beer: People will always bitch about lambic distribution, literally no matter what the strategy is.

There is not investors.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

It went from 3f, tilquin and cantillon being available at retail on a semi-annual basis to only being available at HF, Parker pie or occasionally nicer restaurants.

It isn't bitching to be frustrated that a distributor cherry picks products to sell at their retail establishment. It isn't like they keep a lineup of mikeller turding up the on site bottle list.

Cans just aren't rustic enough man...
