Hill Farmstead Bottle releases

The biggest speculation is what you just stated. We already know there's not plans for some of . He doesn't do the same beer twice on a yearly basis with most of the rarer ones. I'd bet my first born BVDL will be produced again. How can they not, it's such a hype machine and they rob you at $50 yet everyone goes nuts over it. I mean I traded the kitchen sink for one to see if it's as overhyped as every other FFF beer, but I'm hoping not.

 

good luck with that... I live 40 minutes from FFF and stay away from that place... I've actually been to HF more in the last 18 months then FFF.. but in the end never say never when it comes to remaking any beer hell even if it has a different name... No of us in this thread truly know what will happen and that's what I was commenting on when it comes to speculation....

 

Yes, the better question is approximately how much. Was planning to arrive ~2, might have to shoot for sooner.

 

Nick, that statement is a lot more meaningful when you actually have a first born.

 

don't know, but there's a real possibilty of floods in Vermont tomorrow. sounds like it's gonna rain like an SOB tonight.

 

seemed to be a lot left when i left at 3ish, also just posted on fb that its on shelves for tomorrow,

also in regards to rain, the roads all seemed fine last few days, but what the hell do i know,

 

Sounds like a leave the car by the road and trek to the brewery on foot kind of day.... Bringing the wagon...

 

Given that each beer in this release is composed of a blend of different beers I think it's safe to say they won't be "brewed" again

 

If uve never had it how would u know .. The beer is amazing and well worth 50 IMO ... It's all just beer after all

 

Some of them to be rebrewed from what I've heard, not to mention rebrewing a ton of beers and putting them in a barrel together for 16 months seems like a recipe for a one off.*

Accidentally hit post and then lost service on 91, as usual lol.

 

Haha Pete, not all of us can have a first born at 22 years old.

 

We don't care about Dark Lord. Stop talking about it.

 

Oh I know. I'm just bored on an 8 hour car trip. And I certainly hope it's amazing.

 

Anna gone already? Damn....

 

Status update for you folks: Madness #2 will be gone within the first hour tomorrow. Madness #1 and Civil #6 will last well into the day and possibly into Saturday. Limits now go back to 4 bottles per person.
As for next week: Highly unlikely that anything will last through 1pm this Saturday. However, some old favorites will hit the shelf on Wednesday: Everett and Clara.

 

If my information is correct, then it really is a bit discouraging and unfortunate that the bottle limit was set at 6 for two of the releases so that it dramatically limits the number of other folks who would otherwise have a chance to try these beers. I am heading up on Saturday morning from Rhode Island and I thought for sure that after only 2 days there would be at least some left of all. 6 bottles per person seems pretty silly, but maybe that is just me. It's also frustrating that it was listed at 4 bottles per person for weeks on the website. If my info is incorrect, then I apologize. Also, I do not feel entitled to get any of these beers (although I was hoping), but for such a sought after brewery (the world's best) with a big bottle release day, it seems to me that sharing the wealth a bit more spread out would make the most sense for everyone to enjoy. I would like to hear your take on this Shaun. On a more positive note, I am really looking forward to heading up to Vermont for the week and visiting HF at least twice if I can!!! Cheers.

 

Shaun, thanks for upping the limit. Totally makes sense to get people in and out before the weekend. I can't imagine being there every weekend with a shit show of crowds. I'm jus lucky enough to be in vt and was able to get what I needed. I hope you continue to do things this way to make it a little easier on the weeks that you don't have a bottle release. Thanks again

 

Got up there and in line at 11:30, 95th in line, took about an hour once the started taking money to get the bottles(not bad), carried my 6 growlers through the bottle line but decided it wasn't worth the 2 hour plus line for growler fills.

Things were pretty organized, but if you want Growler fills be prepared to wait in a good long line or get up there around 10:00 am so you get your bottles fast and get in the growler line before it gets to long.

 

Diagree with you on this one Nick. If you don't get the bottles you wanted, message me, I will crack mine with you, and we can chat. Sound good?

 

Can't please everybody man. I'm happy they upped it. If you can't go, then you might not get the beers. It's that simple. He had us all count ourselves and figure out how many people were in line, then decided to up it on the spot based on that. He said all along it may last until Saturday, and it may.

Great release. I like how it was setup, and growler fills will always be slow. But if you just wanted the bottles you could've gotten there early and got out immediately. We got there at 9 and could've been out by 12:15 if we didn't wait for growlers. As it was, we got out by around 1.
