Hill Farmstead thread

Damn did they already sell out? Wonder how long that took.

I think it took about 45 mins from the time the email went out. I got mine around 11:20 and let some other people know to check their email. Before noon, some had already gotten shut out. I wasn't sure if I could make it, but I bought them anyway assuming they'd be gone fast and will make it work. Can't wait, have never gotten FoFA tix before.

My wife and I also are going to the CW breakfast and looking for a way to get there via bus or carpool. We were thinking of staying in Stowe or Waterbury (the wife likes bed and breakfasts but I might be able to convince her to scrap that if we are able to work out logistics for a group bus near a hotel or something)

I'm thinking about trying to setup Shitlord in stowe... they have some really nice AirBnBs, will end up needing 12+ people to make it work financially. If you guys end up staying in Stowe or Waterbury would probably try to setup a CW bus starting in Waterbury, stopping in stowe and then on to HF. Plus we could have a sick bottle share either or both nights in Stowe.

Sounds great to me Don. Let me know what you decide.

A little off topic but I know in the past FedEx was seizing boxes of beer being shipped out of VT. Is this still an issue? I have the option of shipping UPS too or shipping out of NH and Maine. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback from locals on what they are hearing and seeing with shipping beer from VT recently.

YMMV, but I've never had an issue with outbound boxes and I've probably shipped 100+ in the past 3 years. The recurring issue was with inbound boxes coming through the Williston "Home Delivery" hub. I started having all my incoming boxes sent to work address so it would go "fedex ground" instead of "home delivery" and have not had an issue since. Also I've never had an issue with UPS inbound (residential or commercial) or outbound. Hope this helps!

Wasn't able to make it up for the TB anny but got CW tix. Definitely interested in a shuttle for breakfast for me and my +1. Waiting to check out the shuttle situation before booking a place to stay.

Same experience. I haven't had issues lately with inbound boxes either.

I'd still be wary of inbound boxes. About a month or so back they intercepted and "destroyed" a styro 12 shipper of old SARA bottles that was en route to me... ******* shysters. RIP OG Nonnas blends

Plan for announcing the retail hours for Friday and Saturday during FoFA as soon as we shore up details...

All the bottles are special, but the full menu will be up before the event...

Stay tuned!

Just booked a backup room at Stagecoach. Why not just take it over for SLM '17? I don't think John would mind.

How much is a room a night there right now? Mostly figured a house, even in Stowe would be considerably cheaper. House is around $100 total per person for 2 nights
