Yeah was looking at weekend hours

Foam is 10 pm

A late-night spot for college kids in Burlington is Manhattan Pizza. They will have Hill drafts on among other things if you can stand the scene. Wednesday might be a decent time to be there.

4 gate changes and a run from terminal C to A in less than 10 minutes. Long story short, I'll be dragging my luggage into Foam before last call.

Thanks for all the suggestions TB! See you all soon.

Pretty great first day. HF had an excellent on site list as has been noted and am about to head into Waterbury for some dinner after swimming in the reservoir by our campsite.

updates...

kep, do you know if the Barton bus driver has arranged dropoff? I'm assuming the 2 buses mentioned are the ones from Waterbury via raqnroll ?

Yes...Details have already been worked out.

 

[raqnroll]

Mmm

This was the first release I said **** it and purchased a case. Best decision ever. Still have a few left. All drinking beautifully

Manhattans is solid and having grown up in Burlington wouldn't consider it a college bar, but I don't frequent it anymore so times may have changed. Either way the tap list is great.
Finnigans Pub is kind of a hidden gem, their tap list is normally just as good as anywhere so if you're not feeling manhattans id recommend you go there. Both those places should be open until 2am.

Manhattan Pizza doesn't deserve a bad wrap and I dont know if I would call it a college bar per se either, knowing it presumably much less intimately. The fact that they serve pizza slices and beer after basically every other place has closed just seems to yield a young turnout.

We usually go for a draft and hopefully a couple songs from some funky live act, then walk past the park to "Drink" (the bar) where they have board games and Alchemist cans. Decent back up if it's too jammed up at Manhattan.

Onsite list from today. Cheers to diesehrl for sharing some amazing bottles.

Aiming to arrive tomorrow before open and ready to share assume bottles. Since I will have driven 600km pretty sure I'm good to not drive after HF!

 

[andrewdrinks]

Will be bringing some UK cans along tomorrow for tickers, drinkers and other interested parties. Look for the most English guy in the place and you'll have me pegged.

 

[Zimm]

At Hill tomorrow around opening before marriage on Saturday. Say hi to the tall person!

 

[JGlitz87]

Leaving Boston now. Should be there around open. Say hi to the guy who is obviously a HS coach (HS Football team hat and HS football team shirt on today)

 

[pushkinwow]

At this rate I'll say hello to everyone !

say hi to me today

 

[HopStunna]

Can anyone pick me up a growler or two? I will be in waterbury/Burlington Friday and Saturday. Will provide some thank you beers + cash.

Thanks!

AutumnBeerLove - With the weather looking fairly suspect for Saturday, would it make sense for attendees to bring a pop-up canopy? Or is there going to be sufficient room / seating under the event tents?

Feel like it rains nearly every year, or every other at least. There was a huge tent last year, but I'd still bring a rain jacket and/or umbrella.

 

[raqnroll]

It was rainy/misty for most of the fest last year. But it wasn't cold. There were a couple extra 10x10 pop ups scattered. I'm pretty sure Hill is okay with folks byo-pop-ups. I think at the last anniversary fest a few years ago they had multiple large tents scattered. That was really ideal. All that said, I think I'm going Mets bucket hat, rain jacket, cargo shorts & golf shoes. I'll bring an umbrella for line up as a precaution.

 

[RuckIt]

Oooh, one forecast is saying "possible hail"!

Those guest bottles must gather dust over time. I can't imagine that many get consumed (non-lambic ones anyway)

Bernice has seemingly been available for the last two years - curious if it's the same batch or if they get restocked.

Looks like I won't be at HF until tomorrow.
Catch me around Waterbury tonight though

I am hoping for the same if anyone has some spare room today or tomorrow. Waterbury tomorrow and Saturday.

The two years I went ('13,'15) it was perfect weather (every other year) so that's what I always have in mind with the event but can't control the damn weather, so oh well.

 

[pushkinwow]

Anyone want to split cd18 or other large bottles? My wife is DD and can't drink too much more

Sitting on the bench right outside the in house bottle line up on the deck.

Come say hi...

 

[JGlitz87]

Just arrived. Would love to split an art plum with someone

Damn what else is onsite today?

 

[andrewdrinks]

I have an Ann and an Art Plum and two kinds of cheese and I could not be happier. Looks like we missed the crowd though - anyone still here...?

Over by the far deck!

I suppose that for those of us not attending FoFA, now's probably a good time to unwatch this thread for a few days...
