Hill Farmstead thread

Probably not. And for the best honestly.

I thought the lottery that they did for Flora Cuvée and Ann was a good way to go. Wouldn't mind seeing that again.

Id say your best bet is to plan to make a trip during their anniversary or during FOFA. They’ve generally had some pretty amazing stuff (moreso than the regular amazing stuff) available on site during those times. Obv still would be on-site only (highly doubt this batch will ever be released to go), but other than that any time Art is available will be a bit more random (and obv not guaranteed during anniversary/fofa, but bit of a higher probability from my experience)

True - I had a 750 mL with a buddy during this past anniversary week, and a 375 a few weeks back. I love this beer so much, but I just want to have the chance to down a 750 mL to the dome within the confines on my house again

Why do you say this? I know people sell on the secondary market, but so what? It sucks, but at least the majority (I would hope) of people who get it enjoy it with their own friends/family

I think we'll only ever see it on-site only going forward. He has previously stated that he even contemplates keeping all the Art just for himself, as that is a favorite of his. I think drinking it in the hills of Vermont, at his place, served his way is more than fair.

I like it, you win!

Shaun Hill is easily the best located brewer in the world. There's honestly no one else remotely in his location, in my estimation. These beers are so much better than anything else I've had, in their locations, and this is true across so many different locations of beer. It's just unbelievable the degree to which I enjoy this location more than other location of the same style. I don't say this lightly either. It would be convenient if I didn't need to drive a thousand miles for my favorite location, but that's just the reality of the situation.

Dude the last release was utter ******* chaos. Was a good time watching people get kicked out though.

My **** lord buddy is dying right now. He presold an Art and a GoM, below current secondary. Spent that money booking a nice hotel in Stowe. Turns out his mule that he brings to HF had an expired id. They spent the early part of the day at the DMV in Burlington, by the time they left there Art was down to 1pp and GoM was sold out. So he got 2 Art and a bunch of shelf stuff and is pissed. He has to refund the money for the GoM, and is calling the trip a waste. He got 2 Art and some amazing fills. Never go full **** lord.

Ah that would make sense. I didn’t go to this release, but hopefully he institutes another raffle or something

 

[JulianB1]

Pretty sure HF posted something on Twitter during the last release about how Art if released to-go in the future would only be done by lottery.

This was also conveyed this verbally at the last release.

Ain't that the truth!

Because that's so effective at tempering the secondary market for Ann/Flora Cuvee

Maybe this is why he said IF it's released in the future, and since that time it never has been, except to cw members

A CW member was caught selling an Art Plum. While it's easier to police a small group like that, it truly seems like the only way to stop secondary is just keep it on-site

He got the boot immediately. Hopefully a learning experience for anyone contemplating it. Would suck to ruin it for everyone.

Opened Bro So Tequila last weekend. I tried really hard to find the barrel notes. If I didn't know, no way I'd be able to pick it out. Even knowing, it wasn't obvious. The beer was drinking fantastic, regardless. Carry on.

I S O... drank it twice, phenomenal both times, and I picked up a balanced barrel element ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Speaking of Tequila aged HF beers, can we get some Tequila aged Farmers Wave? This is what I need this summer.

HAHAHAHAHAHA who was that?

 

[IndianaJones]

HAHAHAHAHAHA who was that?

Dunno, it was a while ago. I'm sure someone closer to the brewery/in CW can give you more deets

 

[JulianB1]

Here's the extent of the deets that were in this thread:

Loved this beer when I first had it and have been excited to revisit. Still some of the green apple that was present when fresh, but it has faded some and the lemony tartness now dominates. Very tasty, but I’d recommend drinking sooner rather than later if you’re still holding one.
