They don't. It's on the wall of the retail shop, to your right, when you walk in.

Thanks bruhbruh

I heard about that, that was your car? Ouch. I lost my brakes 281 miles from home but it wasn't a ball of flame.

A shop in Glover pulled a nail, patched a tire, and changed back my spare for a $10... recommend

I'd choose a ****** mechanic over a burnt up car every time.

Since we're in CarTalk mode, I'd strongly recommend calling Ray Hay in East Hardwick (802-472-7044) if you ever have car problems in the vicinity of Hill Farmstead.

HF does magical things with Nelson. Last of these cans from FoFA weekend, all the more reasons for a return trip!

ISO. Seriously. Anybody in North Jersey or NYC, whether I know you or not. This is a beer that seems to keep eluding me. I know it isn't super .rar or sexy, but it just sounds so god damned delicious. Somebody help me out. I'll be your best friend. I give a mean back rub.

I'll send you a message

Anyone popped a CD15 recently?

 

[regularjohn]

Anyone popped a CD15 recently?

Yes...really funky mango juice with lots of complex layers, and zero acidity. The finish on that beer is just flawless....seriously one of my favorites from the CD lineup.

perfect! I think I should be around all week

Yes. Zimm and I had pours of that during his wedding (aka everyone else's FoFA ) weekend and I agree with what regularjohn said. Was afraid the mango might have faded a bit but it certainly hadn't.

Rock Band?

Got a little bored at work and decided to chart out the limited bottle releases over the last two years at HF. After a winter & spring of new releases seemingly every week or two, we've gone 8 weeks since the last drop (Sue) assuming no late announcement for this coming Wednesday.

Between October 5th (Fear & Trembling / Flora P&P) and June 28th (Sue) there were 38 weeks encompassing 24 limited releases, including 8 multi-bottle releases. That averages to 2 limited releases every 3 weeks.

Tracking the releases back to last summer, we see a similar lull in announcements; 1 in June (Damon / LoG), 0 in July, 1 in August (Vera Mae / Elab Four), and 1 in September (Elab Five). Five limited bottles in the 20-weeks spanning the WoL Anchorage release on May 18th, up to the previously mentioned F&T / Flora P&P drop on October 5th.

Going even further back; the summer / fall of 2015 also had large gaps in limited bottles following the Flora Plum, Flora Cherry, and Flora b6 releases in May & June. 1 limited release in July (CD14), 1 in August (WoL - De Molen), and 1 in September (Flora: Cuvee).

I'm genuinely curious if this summer lull is intentional, and if so what the reasoning might be? Crowd reduction with influx of summer tourists? Does spring / summer effect the barrels and/or beer inside differently, and therefore slow their maturation? Or do these lulls simply coincide with Shaun taking the same few weeks vacation every year?

* Edit - I would assume it just goes back to events being held/brewing/packaging/cans and the beer being ready when it's ready.
