Hill Farmstead thread

There was no Gin Clara on Friday and yes those Gyros were insane

Took the "you just missed Gin Clara" text a little too literal then!

Friday was the first time I've seen a lineup going out the door for the bottles, but huge kudos to the HF staff for ensuring even that moved pretty quick!

Christ the tap list is nuts right now. Plus 8 shelf saisons and CD21. Why am I at work?

On another note, I'm hoping George returns soon. One of the best fall beers there is.

When I got the email regarding the 3 month pause...

Yeah, I was afraid for a permanent pause.

 

[GreenMtnMike]

If anyone else in CW needs a breather...

 

[Tine802]

Flora Cherry (02/2014 bottling) available for on site.

I blended 6/2017 Anna with a '16 3F geuze last night to excellent result. The honey sweetness and geuze sharpness and funk worked really well together. Why I hadn't already done this I have no idea, but I'm going to try more of these experiments soon. Thinking Clara and a plum Tilquin next...

 

[Thevicster]

Oh my....

 

[jermy]

Oh my....

Hope it lasts until the following Wednesday

 

[Locker338]

Oh my....

Took the words right out of my mouth.., oh my!

This coming week will be a great time to visit!

 

[Thevicster]

Helles on earth.....yasssss..

I really want to believe that the conversation overheard at Hill Farmstead in this piece is fictional, but there are enough incredibly dumb beer geeks out there that it's totally plausible:

Does anyone know of a "sour double bock"?

 

[tehzachatak]

Does anyone know of a "sour double bock"?

If OEC hasn't made one yet, I'm sure it's in the works.

What is a "Double Bock"?

 

[tehzachatak]

What is a "Double Bock"?

I have no idea, but I'm sure OEC has read some obscure german texts from the 1350s that led them to the recipe.

“So she had a 10 percent sour double bock, and I ordered a barley wine. And I was, like, so surprised. I mean, does anyone still make a barley wine?”

Oh, I'm sure there are some serious mega ultra cicerones out there that'd have these conversations, with all their expertise from the 2 years they've been drinking hazy IPAs... Sucks they had to write this article in such a way. Sounds a lot worse than it typically is. Makes it seems like all you find are *********s. Plenty to go around, but take any population and you'll probably find plenty of *********s.

Authors' brother sounds like a real peach. He came to VT to try a bunch of beers are bitched about people coming to VT for beer.

Isn't that what most people here do?

Pretty much, we all try not to come off as snobby ****** bags and think we are better than that but pretty sure everyone else just sees us as snobby *********s.

Drinking a 5/2014 Arthur. Utterly amazing. Lime, cream, minerality.

Drink it now if you're sitting on some of these.

Minerality
Minerally
Minereality
Mineralogy of Morals

Can we get a Cicerone® approved descriptor of Arthur?

Oh, and I can search your weak ass non-Cicerone® qualifications on their website, so don't play any games. (Not directed at you Stewmeister)



At least we agreed that doesn't taste like rocks.

Not gonna lie... minerality was definitely the first word that came to mind when drinking a 1/2014 Arthur the other night. It was not delicate or easily missed, and even the mineral note more than held its own against some extremely rich/porky/spicy food.
