Will definitely be there and very much looking forward to it. Love that market, far beyond just the Lawson's.

 

[InfinityonTrial]

Would love to try and work out a trade/arrangement for a Maple BA Fayston (and maybe a DS if possible) with anyone going. Message me if you might be interested.

 

[Don2]

I'll be going, as normal. Although looks like I might be going solo this time for the first time in awhile.

What, is there a crew of Bostonians that carpool up?

Sign me up!

What time should people plan on arriving? I was thinking 8ish to make sure I get bottles, sound right? Or should I show up at 6 in the morning like this was a HF release???

We showed up at 825 last time and missed out on Chinookerd.

Yeah we usually have a group that goes up and hangs in VT all day. Last time our trip was from 4am til 11 pm lol, kinda turns in to a long day.

Agreed. Lots of other goodies available (aside from tasty beer).

hmm, what number did you receive? how long was the corresponding wait for your number to be called?

 

[Don2]

I believe it was 67, we were called about 1045.

 

[Don2]

Looks like we might be organizing a carpool up, I have room for at least 1 more. Free ride, will just have to get up real early! Will be hitting Lawson's, HF, and possibly blue lobster.

I'm going to just miss out on this -- I land on the 13th in Boston. Any chance any of these will be in the Warren Store?

 

[Osyrus]

Bummer about the drop in Maple BA Fayston, but glad it will help spread the wealth a bit more. Silver lining - I avoid buying another $60 4pk

I can taste those bison flatbreads already though... can't wait for Saturday morning!

You have ruined me. Everytime I see or think about Lawsons and their releases, in the back of my mind I am wondering if you are going.

Cant thank you enough for toating those delicious goods to PA. I am down to only 2 left and im dragging my feet on killing them.

If they hadn't dropped the Chinookerd limit I would have sent you a couple for cost and a shipping label! Maybe next time!

 

[Ataraxia1]

Anyone else around Boston going up? (that would be up for carpooling)

 

[DanzBorin]

Send some Double Sunshine to Texas!

Wish I could go to these things. I'd love to buy 1 of each beer to try!

VT is beautiful to visit in October.

 

[Osyrus]

If (by some strange longshot) there are any hop freaks out there wanting more Chinooker'd, Harvest, or Double Dose (or even Tripple) and not wanting to buy both of their Fayston bottles let me know.

 

[ilovermont]

supposedly waking up in two hours to start my day and hit up the farmer's market, yet i just cracked another heady.


...cue waah waah trombone sound...

 

[Frank1]

Market was hopping, I passed on bottles. Got there at about 10 and they were up to ~150 in tickets, and just starting to serve people, I believe.

If you're at the market, and enjoy sour/wild beers, do yourself a favor and get some kombucha from the guy near the pizza place. It's a must. There farmer right in front of the lawson's tent also had some awesome tomatoes

 

[ilovermont]

hope everyone who actually made it got all the bottles they wanted.

 

[Auror]

Think they said first 120 got all bottles. Chinooker and the cascade were the short supply. From what I overheard at least enough for 200 people for dbl sunshine, maple barrel, and maple tripple.

 

[Ataraxia1]

I got there at around 7:35am and sat in my car like an idiot instead of getting a ticket asap; ended up with 66 and had to wait until 10am

were tickets distributed prior to 8am?

 

[Ataraxia1]

were tickets distributed prior to 8am?

Absolutely no idea. I got there, parked, sat in my car, looked around for a bit but didn't know what to look for, got out, looked around some more, and finally retreated my car because it was cold. When I saw some people assemble into a small line I ran over. Since I got #66 at 8:04 and was behind only a dozen people, I wonder where the other 4 dozen were?

 

[ilovermont]

Anyone else load up on beer and other farmers' market goodies yesterday?

Had a local friend come through in a big way. Missed out on last year's maple barrel variant, so looking forward to revisiting later tonight..
