**** that Molson Coors **** now

You draining all your TDD bottles tonight? Make it a party

 

[thrashD]

Generally, unless they make an announcement that bottles are running low, your best bet is to do the taproom first to drink some nice onsite bottles that are usually pretty limited. I've gone up about 4 - 5 times since the taproom opened and I've always hit onsite first and never had a problem getting bottles later.

awesome, good to know. thanks!

AutumnBeerLove you guys keeping the TDD collab Argan available in the taproom or nah?

They did have Argan today. And, um, didn't sell out.

There was only one batch, pretty small too. Same bottles that have been on for months. I am just wondering since they announced selling to Molson-Coors this morning

It was in the fridge today.

New taproom and overall setup is awesome. Really makes for a great experience. Was decently busy but everything ran so smooth.

Also, Shirley Mae is incredible. I could drink many of these during the upcoming holidays

Was a bit hairy getting up the hill today. Taylor road was a sheet of ice even though it only snowed a couple inches overnight. A car flipped into a ditch on their way down minutes before we got about halfway up. Luckily, the two in the car made it out pretty much unscathed but it was a scary few minutes when they were still stuck and cell service was not available. Ended up turning around and driving another way through Greensboro since we essentially got stuck on the hill once we parked to help. Drive safe out there!

If it does, I hope to be there Wednesday.

Glad I picked this weekend to finally replace my bald tires.

I drive a Versa Note hatchback, and have never had an issue getting to or from Hill Farmstead in any of the weather conditions I've encountered up there. Now, I obviously can't speak to what Taylor Road is like at the moment. I've also found in winter conditions it can be a bit easier to drive up to Greensboro (paved road) and go in from that direction via Garvin Hill and Jafflin Flats.

I agree with Julian - I've driven up during all seasons (mud, snow, ice etc.) with a FWD & RWD car and have never had an issue . As long as you know how to drive in NE during the winter, your car shouldn't be the reason you don't drive up. I actually prefer going up when the weather is crappy for obvious reasons.

10/13/2015 Arthur has been a favorite for the past two years since I first had it fresh (and bought 2 cases). Right now it's hitting an unreal phase where it's just exploding with juicy pineapple and melon notes, backed by the usual lemon/citrus and the right amount of funk on the finish. This is spectacular and a great representation of the complexity that Shaun's beers display as they age and develop.

Aaron lowered to 2pp for next week.

 

[kzeon]

Aaron lowered to 2pp for next week.

I was write about to write that up. Actually, for next week and most likely the week after

Took this photo yesterday at around 3pm (the first pallet was done, they brought another one).

I doubt this is the 3rd pallet... so if they made one day @ 6bpp and 3 days @ 4bpp, I think it's safe to say there will be still be some at the EOD next Saturday.

Also, unless everything melts this week, DONT GO without proper winter tires. Had mine yesterday and the small roads near HF were quite bad (especially when leaving EOD, with the sun going away and mud freezing), but the road to Parker Pie was quite nasty. No sand, pure black ice. Be extra careful guys.

I've found that road to Parker Pie sketchier than the road to HF on more than one occasion.

Take VT16 to Parker pie. It's a little longer but the paved road is much better kept. Rolling rock and Shadow lake road get pretty bad in the winter.

Oh, I was referring to the route off VT-16 via Bean Hill Road in Glover. I imagine those back routes are even worse.

Unless you mean going further up 16, almost to Barton, and taking Roaring Brook instead of Bean Hill. Not sure how that compares.

yeah Bean Hill is bad usually but that route to VT-16 yesterday was straight ice all way long. Friendly reminder that winter is here lol

Has anyone checked in on Peleg lately?

Probably gonna crack one w/ a buddy this weekend, and curious what to expect, since I haven't had it since release.

Lmao, I wish you could comment on people's Untappds you weren't friends with so I could go to the dudes posting "Infected." and go, "no, man, it's supposed to taste like that..."
