There's a decent amount left, but I'm not really sure what to expect for a crowd tomorrow...

Thanks! Figure I’ll just gauge the situation when I arrive and make the call then.

Looking forward to my visit - been too long!

Limited vintage offerings in retail too though... Where to start: Door #1, or Door #2?

Damn, that's a tough one. And I guess what they call one of those "good problems".

Yeah I don’t typically enjoy trail running but I kinda feel like I have to run any HF affiliated race, so likely doing it.

That race looks lovely. Especially a point to point. IMHO trail running > road running. Not sure what your local trail race scene is like but usually less expensive registration fees, better scenery, impact on body, and beer afterwards. Like this one!

Planning on this for next year Just realized its unrealistic to run it this year on such short notice, especially given that the longest I've run this year is 8 miles

I've run 8 miles in my entire life, so you're not doing too badly.

I used to run 70 miles/week before having kids. Kids'll **** you up

 

[diesehrl]

I plan on heading up tomorrow too, I'll be wearing my favorite local craft brewery shirt, crocs, and a fedora.

Seriously though, I'll be up there with 2 others.

Let me know if you would be interested in splitting bottles with a 4th. I'll be doing a solo run up north tomorrow.

you've mentioned in and around threads you've been thinking of getting back into it, sounds like the perfect time to!

Timing doesn't work out this year family-wise but thanks for the motivation. I already told the wife I'm running next year and going to make a week/weekend of it.

that sounds like a fantastic idea! be prepared and work up to a nice event/vacation

 

[DigDug1810]

you guys run for fun? i haven't run seriously since i was a kid and chased by the police.. talk about running!

i occasionally run during softball, but i certainly won't slide.. **** that ****

 

[MikeG1]

Onsite list for today sounds insane. Damon El Desarollo, Art Plum, new Flora Cherry, new Vera Mae, Aaron b1 and Flora Plum on draft, Fou and Hommage.

 

[GreenMtnMike]

Sure, drinking rare and delicious offerings during anniversary week is alright for some. But I bet when I’m there next week it won’t be so crowded.

Fixed that for you.

So will beer.

 

[MikeG1]

So will beer.

I used to run so I could drink beer. Now I drink beer because I can't run from the kids.

How crazy was Hill today? I’m preparing myself for Friday?

Busy. Maybe 25 in line for tap room and 80+ in line for retail before open. Retail line stayed steady past 2pm, and tap room was cranking, but still 10-15 minute wait. Art Plum ran out before 1pm, the others lasted longer.

 

[Jmonah3]

Heading up tomorrow with the Mrs if anyone wants to share in on some bottles with us. Curious to see if it's the same onsite list or a change for tomorrow. I know last year was different bottles each day. Hoping for Art Plum.

 

[tylerk88]

Will also be up tomorrow and hoping to share some bottles. Aiming to arrive shortly before open.

I’m curious to see the vintage retail offerings the rest of the week. I get the feeling CD Citrus didn’t get the blood flowing for folks.

 

[PepeSylvia1]

Everyrhing was great today, but the 2017 Vera Mae was perfect IMHO.

 

[HopStocker]

What time did they open today? Asking for a friend (srsly)

 

[CoinStarChange]

Today's madness:

Got to Hill at 12:05, went straight to the tasting room. We were one of the last people to get Art Plum.

Other than Art Plum, 3F Hommage may have stole the show, along with 2014 Aaron.
