Hill Farmstead Bottle releases

This is the regular wine glass I'm talking about

 

Yea looks like the one I want. I have their grey/white glasses I picked one up the last 2 times I was there

 

That glass is different from the "tasting" glass at the brewery.

I have no clue which glass will be given to the festival attendees, but usually it's the one in the picture you quoted.

 

Yea the glass I want is essentially a bigger version of the tasting glass...at least it looks that way to me.

 

Yep, that's the one then

 

I was told it was a wine glass by Libbey that was over 12ozs.

 

Alright I was obviously confused, it must be the original wine glass then. My apologies.

 

Anybody been to a bottle release up at HF before? We're driving up early Sunday and I'm just curious about what kid of line to expect when we get there. Couple hour wait or does it move pretty quickly?

 

This one is different...no growler fills. That's what slows the line down normally. Don't hold me to it, but I'd guess you can be in and out fairly quickly...

They will be serving pours of Edward and What is Enlightenment? for $5 in line...they have a serving license for the weekend due to the Anniversary Party. So, if there is a line, you can have awesome beer while you wait!

Also, you'll get to laugh at all the freezing, wet campers you see. Like me.

 

good chance some wives who slept outside Friday night will refuse to do again saturday night. could be a few less people on Sunday.

 

Make an excellent point, the lack of growler fills should seriously speed this up. Should not be that hard to ask for your bottles and pay, one would think. Feel like a hypocrite if I show up for the release but considering it.

 

Make sure you all check local road closures here in VT. Lots of roads washed out. Need to seek alternative routes

 

I'm 50/50 on staying for the release just because I might not be in mood for it. Even still, with so many people traveling to the area I can't understand why anyone way out of state would drive up Sunday when nobody knows the limits, there's no growlers, and the weather has been pretty crappy.

 

Yeah man keep talking people out of coming up!

 

Doesn't matter to me if they come. I'll already be there.

 

I love their glassware. Those are all so nice looking.

 

I'm coming because I need to salvage my weekend, and what better way then to wait in line at HF to spend $42 on like 40oz of the bottle release beers and drink $5 pours of their pale ales.

Also I am totally going to hit Worthy Burger on the way back home

 

Eh its about 4 hours each way for me and the weather will be shitty so might as well drive instead if sitting in the house. Plus I've only had 1 HF beer before so the ones waiting in line will be worth it either way

 

Bottle release is postponed. Date TBA next week

 

Bad joke?
