I’ve had a very good time at HM today

I wish I made it out to the anniversary, but dealing with extra busses during the viaduct closure is just too much of a hassle.

My in-laws were in town Friday and we were busy all day Saturday so I never made it over. Going today at 3pm and will happily drink whatever is left.

Cardamom Coffee MS and The Emperor IPA were nice consolation prizes today.

Looks like today was a good day to visit.

I really like Signs Following - great aromatics. (Better than Brumalia I reckon.)

Anyone had a volume 12 lately? I have 1 bottle left & I'm scared its gone the way of other aged AWAs.

Bottle I opened this summer was still super jammy. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Hard to imagine that there are too many of these still kicking around! B1 Clarette. Pretty sure that I traded Trillium bombers for a few bottles, though I don't recall the year (maybe 2014?). Really surprised by how fruity it still is. Lots of raspberry, candied cherry. Pretty acidic, but still pleasant. Cheers, all!

This was quite acidic on release, I can imagine that it's pretty paint stripping now. Always appreciate the update.

Usually a wait. Either in line before they open or waiting for bottles if you show up closer to noon. Kids ok in the line, but the tasting room does not allow them. It’s an industrial part of town, so the kids won’t be able to run around.

Thanks. While all releases are different, are we talking sell out same day or a few days?

Same day for the fruited sours.

Head down at 2 and you should hit a sweet spot of short line, bottles still available, and draft still flowing

Grumpy times at today’s release.

Grumpy times at today’s release.

What happened? Was it because of the Rum Guava Table?

That’s it - the beer aka Grumpy.

I would definitely be up for that barbecue pop up at future releases though - that hot link sandwich...

Got to try this bad boy yesterday at Slow Boat's Holy Mountain event. Definitely not the hypeboi trade whale people are making it out to be, but still pretty good. Had a lot of boozy heat on the finish from the rum barrel, which was definitely unexpected from a 4.8% beer.

I think I'd rank Guava Gin Table and regular Guava Table as being better, but YMMV if you like rum.
