    Yes, it’s per day, but it’s also an extremely flexible rule that I’ve never seen enforced (although I’m sure it does happen).

    Question on everyone's mind is will cd23 last until Thursday afternoon when tmbgnicu shows up?

    I was up in VT this past weekend with a few friends and it was another great visit. We made our trip to Hill on Saturday and it was an awesome time. Probably one of the more relaxed visits I've had in awhile. The weather helped-chilly temps, but a ton of sun without a cloud in the sky. Had pours of Poetica 2 and Rhetorica. Both very good. Got to try a sip of a buddy's Poetica 1. I think I preferred P1, slightly. Bummed to miss Memoria as it kicked Friday, but hopefully it will be back. Walked away with a nice haul of mixed cans and bottles to tide me over until next trip.

    I had Double Galaxy on draft in Waterbury and it was as good as I remembered. Also, had Simcoe Pale and Edward. Always have to check in on Edward, but the Simcoe Pale was the standout of the two for me.

    Until next time.

    Hopefully it does for you. I wasn't paying too close attention to either stack of BA Table Dorothy or CD23 when I ordered on Saturday so I don't know where either stood when I left. I didn't sense either was close to selling out, nor did I ask, so I was surprised to see BA Table Dorothy gone from the website when it was updated over the weekend.

    Looks like something similar at FHT was March 30th of last year.

    It was in April for a period of time; nonetheless, seems to fluctuate between the two months: think it was in early March back in 2012

    I'm planning on making my first trip up Wednesday morning and it's a 4 hour+ drive for me. I see mention of a limit here on cans but nothing on the website. I'm mostly interested in taking home a case of the DG and the 2 Soignee as beers for my wedding in early May. Is there a limit on cans? I see mention here of can limits but none on the HF site.

    Will it be nuts at open because of the Soignee?

    Thanks for any help and advice.

    Sometimes the cans have limits, sometimes they don't. It is listed on the page hanging in the retail space with price and description. Hard to tell for Double Galaxy considering it is a hold over from last week release.
    I would not expect it to be too crazy for Soignee. Was pretty quiet for CD23 and BA Table Dorothy.

    Have a trip planned in July, really crossing my fingers that I will be able to try double galaxy. I've been up to HF 3 times over the past couple of years and have never been lucky enough to try it. lucked out with getting to try a number os S&S and Abner, susan and double citra. Is there any rhyme or reason to their rotation? any special bottles they may have in the first few weeks of July?

    No way to predict what they'll have. But they almost always have something limited-edition for takeaway these days.

    Thanks for the heads up, I figured as such but just didn't know since I've only been up a few times. figured it was at least worth asking.

    Rhetorica on tap at Armsby. If it's still around tomorrow I might stop by and to also S&S #6.

    Not necessarily, last summer they released no limited bottles from memorial day to around labor day. Seems the limited stuff gets released during the winter, for obvious reasons. Plenty of cans though!

    I guess i should have clarified what I meant- I figured there was no semi-regular or predictable schedule. They always have great stuff, but it's obviously luck of the draw for what bottles/cans/ and drafts they have when you visit. still crossing my fingers for double galaxy tho.

    will probably go there on Wed though which it sounds like they sometimes have box sets available on slower days.
