Hill Farmstead thread

[theLostWizard]

We (I assume only CW members who picked up got the email) were asked to show proof today, (by taking a pic with your bottle) the email said if you can't show proof then you may lose your CW membership. I'd imagine even if you drank it you'd find a way to prove that somehow

Haha! I have all my old SARA club empties just in case it happens! It's a great idea.

 

[indy1]

I thought you'd be rooting for the CW membership to get canceled.

That way all that lost luster can be restored to the bottle announcements.

The struggle of CW dick swingers is real, all though I must admit the vague saturday morning not so humble brag posts have been on the decline.

And why would I cheer on the end of something that has 50+ bottles (and counting) of the world's best waiting for me?

... Oh now I see how fun it is.

 

[Thevicster]

I considered suggesting this a while back but you could just take a black sharpie to cross out any sort of unique marking so I don't see how it'd be effective.

SpIt ballin here....you could require the cw bottles be returned when you go to the brewery to pick up your shipments. Since they have to be picked up in person, no onus on the member at all

This seems a bit extreme and impractical.

This seems a bit extreme and impractical.

Biggest issue would be timeframe.... how quickly would I need to dome 6 MC8s? Even if you do it on the limited only bottles, I'm not planning on drinking that art plum until December, I'd imagine some guys will hold onto it longer...

 

[thechrislife]

This seems a bit extreme and impractical.

All of the suggestions so far have seemed extreme, impractical, and excessive. I understand taking measures to prevent the selling of bottles, but at some point you have to consider how much time and effort you're asking of your employees and members to try and prevent this. Really, all you're doing is pushing idiots to find more inventive ways to turn a profit. Basically, shitlords gonna shitlord.

Is anyone else hoping that Biere de Norma is released soon? Its been way too long.

Speaking of Norma, I'm enjoying a 2014 vintage right now and it's drinking beautifully.

Great to hear 2014 Norma is a great experience still! The beer isn't drinking anything though.

Thanks for the tag regularjohn. Missed this one!

If you mix two beers together do they try to drink each other? beerception?

 

[Kasher]

If you mix two beers together do they try to drink each other? beerception?

Does mixing them together magically give either one of them a mouth?

If not, no.

Bottle Releases For The Week Of February 14

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2017 AT 4:00PM

On Wednesday, February 15, two different beers will return to the bottle shop selection:

Brother Soigné

750ml, $10

Brother Soigné is a tart, refreshing Farmstead® ale brewed with lime, hibiscus, and blood orange. This ale embodies the spirit of perpetual creative collaboration in conjunction with disciplined brewing endeavor.

Elaborative 4

750ml, $10

The Elaborative is a brewing collaboration with like-minded friends. A fermentative experiment through thoughtful enquiry and discourse. A desire to further our understanding of the interactive complexities of our process while trying to abandon our preconceptions.

In early August of 2015, our friends Brad Clark of Jackie O's Pub & Brewery, Chad Yakobson of Crooked Stave Artisan Ales and Cory King of Side Project Brewing joined us to create a beer inspired by the German radler. We have one again brewed this light, refreshing ale with ample amounts of grapefruit zest and juice and oats.

We are open Wednesday - Saturday from 12 p.m. - 5 p.m. in our Retail bottle shop.



I guess nobody felt the need to mention this since neither bottle is BA ?

Also, I really hope Double George is brewed and released on it's own and not part of a thread (M&C8). Not that there is anything wrong with blending Double George into M&C 8, but I love regular George and would reallllly love to try that

I'm late to this CW profiteer conversation, and need one tidbit to understand what y'all are talking about: what/who is a razzle??

Razzle is life.

Razzle is the sort of **** you find out about and your immediate reaction is, "******* beer people."

Or, to actually answer your question, a beer raffle/lottery group... secondary market bs.

what/who is a razzle??

They are lot like the bottle raffles at FoFA, except the exact opposite...

My bad for not making use of the TB search tool, using the phrase "Dafuq is a razzle."

I mean, it's the natural question to ask when confronted with that term.

 

[Mikecap]

Drank several of these this past summer and it is still drinking quite nicely. Not exactly a snowstorm beer, but I felt like checking in on it. Grapefruit still prominent, and just an amazing amount of flavor at this ABV.

Very happy this is being released again.

 

[abawol01]

it is still drinking quite nicely.

I am super happy to hear that elaborative 4 is still a great drinking experience! I assure you that the beer isn't drinking anything though.

 

[MyGrandmaLovesCraftBeer]

Great to hear 2014 Norma is a great experience still!

It's actually carbonated.

Also, ISO Still Norma 2014!

I'm glad you're having fun, and I encourage you to keep it up, but if you're gonna keep being pedantic about grammar, I would encourage you to take pause and reconsider the boundaries of the English language, because clearly you're having a bit of subject/object confusion. The subject, though not explicitly stated, is obviously always the person doing the drinking and the object is the beer. Essentially since it is obviously a human being writing the opinion and doing the drinking, they are the implied subject of the sentence. When people say how it's drinking, they are obviously expressing their opinion, not the beer's, though I do also love a bit of personification, something that also exists and is a wonderful rhetorical device in the English language... 'This beer is drinking' is perfectly acceptable grammatically, and a far less cumbersome way of broaching your opinion on a beer than saying, 'I feel that when drinking this beer I detect...' and don't you dare attack my erroneous use of ellipses, it's the bleeding Internet mang!

Oh, I am incredibly aware that the statement is perfectly acceptable English, chief. It just sounds so awful.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
