Hill Farmstead thread

[raqnroll]

Yea I'm really bummed I didn't. I have my 2 from FoFA but I have such good memories associated with them I never want to use them in case they break. I have my Tired Hands teeth glass instead. Still wished it was a HF one though

Yeah but, one day you'll knock that glass over and it'll break and you'll be bummed you never used it to drink from. You know it makes the beer drink better so I vote for using it.

share consider enjoy... happy Bday to the thewimperoo

Broken record as everyone else that's had it, but damn this beer is pretty amazing. Intense barrel and coffee flavors, but still perfectly balanced.

Anyone planning on being at HF Friday?

Potentially - what time are you thinking? I'd be going solo so it would be nice to be able to split something

 

[tifosichris1]

Didn't really have a time planned but I can plan to be there at a certain time if you'll def be there. I'm staying in Burlington

I have nothing of substance to add to this discussion whatsoever but if this thread isn't updated at least once every 3 days beer in my cellar starts to cannibalize other beer.

Not sure if this was brought up but it looks like GoM Kieni has been available onsite and it continues to impress.

That's good to hear. I was worried about the coffee fading since I don't have it yet. Anyone try out the new Flora? I love the sound of that fruit combo.

I opened a Table Dorothy from 1/21/2016 last night, and it was drinking very nice...

I had the kieni and flora cherry raspberry on site Wednesday. The Kieni was wonderful - much different beer than the regular GoM. Fudgier with nice depth. The flora cherry/rasp was also very nice, I thought it was less tart than flora cherry with a bit more fruit. Nice blend of both fruits.

For onsite, they also had magnums of Flora (2014), CD15, Juicy and I think 1 other but they were a bit pricey.

Nice. I'm excited to see what's on when I'm there next Friday. That Flora magnum sounds awesome, but I'm sure it is expensive.

Juicy was also a vintage mag I think...maybe. They had a plum flavored flora mag on-site last Saturday that sold out while I sucked down 15 oysters, half a bowl of olives and some cheese. My glass of Being & Time tasted itself and declared that it thought it was excellent

Double Citra, Double Nelson and Karma Emulsion are all being kegged next week
Flora Mag sold out today

Double Nelson being kegged next week

 

[Number45]

Karma Emulsion needs much more love. That thing is so perfect.

 

[tifosichris1]

Thanks to everyone at HF for making today memorable as always.

 

[Mikecap]

Goodness I need this. Keg pretty please?

Additionally, I think M&C 8 has surpassed M&C 5 as my favorite of the series. Incredibly decadent, certainly get Aaron, but I can find that nice chocolate, toffee, bittersweet thing I love about George too. Barrel complements all components well. This is damn near perfect and I need more.

Is this really still on the shelf at 6 pp? Please send it all to my house for disposal.

I was having this same convo with tbub18 the other night. I still think 5 is slightly superior, but damn, 8 is the real deal. 3rd best of the series IMO behind 1 and 5.

I'm sure it can't be split between a nice group of people... hint hint

Going up on the 22nd. Kind of hoping Puncheon lasts until Thursday when I can get there. (I do not expect it to last.)

 

[Mikecap]

Had a chance to share these two tonight...words cannot describe Akmel Nuri. Good lord. Please, please, continue these single-barrel GoM variants. Had a much nicer pour of this one, but preferred it to Kieni.

Clover was great as expected, but I probably would rather have a bottle of Anna, Arthur or Florence just for convenience and lack of hype. Nose didn't wow me, but extremely complex in the flavor, very winey, which to me somewhat detracts from the subtleties of its components. Still friggin great, just not my favorite HF wine-BA beer.

That GoM tho.
