Alright so Shitlord Manor 3.0 has been reserved in Irasburg.

There is nothing around for at least a mile so noise, etc not a factor.

Anyone looking for a place to stay please contact me, the place is large and inexpensive, if you want to pitch a tent outside you can or whatever.

The Jersey crew is organizing a bus from Barton which is about 12 min away.

Where in Irasburg? There's a backroad to West Glover (Parker Pie). Can I come hang?

Yay!!!

 

[SecretSquirrel]

Bring it in September lol. Do you know what weekend you'll be coming up? Or... did you find a FoFA ticket?

no and maybe

Of course!
I'll run the address by you when I'm up there later this month!

 

[ajfa531]

I may have to go up for FestiFarmHales just for hangs. Didn't try for tickets, but maybe I can taxicab confessional for some bros/gals.

BA Dorothy still available Yikes. Must have been a lot of bottles this time around to last 2 weeks.

While we are talking about top tier HF beers this is certainly the best stout I have ever had from them. Mouthfeel is incredible very silky. Very well nuanced and balanced overall. This is exactly what i want in a barrel aged stout, simple and not adjunct laden. The coffee is there but not punch you in the face strong. A true gem.

 

[iong516]

^ all true. It pains me I don't have more, it was a delight.

 

[tylerk88]

Bet that CD18 is tasty. Arthur Puncheon and BA Dorothy are two of my favorites, as far as recent HF releases are concerned.

CD20 sounds ******' weird.

 

[Mikecap]

CD20 sounds ******' weird.

I mean, it involves Cigar City. It'll obviously be good, otherwise it would've been an El Catador beer.

Doesn't sound bad. Just sounds weird... BB fermented Shirley Mae sounds weird even without the Cigar City ****. Would still smash of course.

 

[Os]

Damn... I need that 18

 

[Mikecap]

Damn... I need that 18

Cautiously optimistic it will be on for FoFA...

 

[Mikecap]

This is also incredible...glad I was able to track one of these down. Everything I traded is beyond worth it. Base is there, but coffee more pronounced given the blend. Anybody that knows me knows I'm a sucker for Apple Brandy BA stouts and this certainly delivers on all cylinders. Crossing my fingers there's some Everett or Damon in these barrels...

 

[DGetman]

Does anybody know where to get tickets for the Bus heading to FOFA from Barton?

Random question for y'all - Last week I went up to HF on Thursday, as I wanted to indulge in the Anniversary week festivities without having to deal with the craze of Saturday, and split a bottle of Art (and Wheat is the New Hops, Six Years, Flora and Juicy) with a buddy of mine. T'was the best beer I've ever put inside myself. After seeing that Clover and Ann were available on Saturday (I think?), I began to wonder if it would have been worth it to hold off until Saturday to have been able to try those. Not really regretting going on Thursday, as the pizza/beer/entire experience made it the best trip I've been on to date, but I wanted to ask all of you fine HF connoisseurs what your opinion of Art is in relation to Clover and/or Ann.

That about wraps it up.

Across the various batches which I've had the privilege of consuming, IMHO: Art (b2 and b3) > Ann (b2 and b3)

I've never had Clover.

Clover was a great beer - lucky enough to have had it onsite during week or release. That said, if I had to rank the best HF beers I've had:

1. Flora b5
2. Ann b2
3. Clover
4. CD 11
5. Art b3

1. Art B3
2. Art B3
3. Art B3
4. Art B3
5. Art B3

Followed closely by Sarrasin, Flora B5 and BA Dorthy for me. Haven't tasted "her" yet.

Art is my favorite beer ever... regardless of batch.

Ann > Art > Clover for me but all three are phenomenal.

I agree 100%

Based off of what I assume they would taste like...

Art b3 is one of only I think two beers I've ever given a 5/5 to. It was amazing.

to me Art is better then Clover

Art is the best beer they do IMO. My favorite HF beers have been Art Plum and Art b3, followed by Flora and the best variants (Plum & Peach/Pear). Clover was very good, but a bit of a let down considering the makeup of the blend. I've had Ann b1, but it was past its prime. Really need to try a fresh batch.

TL;DR - Art>everything

This also reminds me...

Art Plum >>> Flora w/ Plums b1 > Flora w/ Plums b2

I don't think the blend of beers in Clover/CD5 is better than the beers on their own

Art plum is on another planet in comparison

Clover was absolutely mind blowing. Super memorable.

My rankings from what I've had

1. Ann batch 2 (much better fresh than aged)
2. Art Batch 3
3. Le Sarrasin
4. Flora batch 5
5. CD10

Spoiler: Sounds like...

...they all drink beautifully.

Wrong thread. Think you meant for this to go here:

If I wasn't coming up with my wife that would be very tempting - .

or... sell me the ticket, tell the wife she doesn't have to go, give her the $100+ dollars and you get to be a resident of SLM

Surprised no one mentioned it yet, but FoFA tickets were on sale Friday at the brewery.

Interesting that HF is involved with this beer club: http://brewiety.com.

From their site:
What do I actually get with my membership?
Short Answer - Awesome beer!
Long answer - Every month we partner with a single brewery to bring you hard to find / get beers. The breweries have freedom in the packaging and styles of beer that they provide. You can expect to receive the approximate volume equivalent of three (3) 22 oz bombers each month. The packaging may vary. For example, one month you may get (3) 22 oz bombers, the next you may get (4) 16 oz cans and the following month you may receive a 750 ML, 22oz Bomber and 16oz can. Regarding styles of beer, that is up to the brewery but they will typically provide 2 - 3 different styles. Often these beers will be limited releases or one offs just for the club!

Something seems off with that, but... who knows

EDIT: I guess not.

[nhindian1]

This sounds exactly like OnceMade, who only produced one beer before ending it.
