Hill Farmstead Bottle releases

I see Abner is back. I like that.

 

how should I feel? I was extremely excited to try Double Citra after having Citra a month earlier... and I'm a day late (saturday)... but it's Abner... and Abner is f*#king awesome.

 

Are you coming to waterbury at all?

 

unfortunately, i wont be... i'm squeezing it into a small window of time on a busy weekend. *sigh* No worries. (ps, from vt, just got sick of the random trade requests, hence the location, which still hasn't worked..).

 

Gotcha.

I'm down to only one or two random trade requests a week now, since I havn't been quite as active on the main forums

 

OMG UR FROM VT? YOU CAN GET ME 4X MIMOSA RIGHT?!

 

Anyone know what glassware is currently available?

 

A stemmed tasting glass with a grey logo.

 

Do they have the middle one? I currently have the one on the right.

 

I'm not sure about right now necessarily, but I've never seen the middle one for sale in the shop. My understanding is that's their "fest" glass that they give out for their festivals.

 

Ba humbug. Thanks though. Maybe mr hill will break them out a week or so early?

I can only hope.

 

they have the regular stem with white print, and with charcoal print.

 

Just wanted to post in here if anyone who will be at HF both Friday and Sunday would be willing to pick up a growler of Ephraim and possibly a 4pk of Heady, I would reimburse you at the very least, maybe be willing to pay for one of the bottles being released, or bring a beer for you. You'd be a hero.

 

On top of being a hero to a great BA, I'll send a small token of appreciation to anyone who can help Cam out.

 

I was thinking of coming on Sunday for the bottle release, but I was wondering what the parking situation would be for those who are not there for the festival. I've never attended one of the bigger Hill Farmstead releases or festivals, so does parking become extremely limited?

 

For the festivals Shaun usually let's people park in the field on the other side of his house, there's usually plenty of parking.

 

The camping this time is going to be in the field adjacent to where the cars are always parked, so not as long a lug of gear. The band will be in the field facing uphill at the brewery under a tent instead of right next to the brewery. It's gonna be downright chilly Sat. night - so bring your woolies! No samping fires allowed, but he might light a bonfire since the recent rain has cancelled all of the fire bans. It rained very hard yesterday and will again tonight, so be prepared for soggy ground - boots, groundcloths, tarp under your tent, etc.

 

white print > charcoal print - the white looks so much better over the IPA's.


didn't they used to have etched logo, i think i have one

 

Yeah, they used to but those are not (or were not) available last time I was there.

 

and in your tent. fuck.
