Hill Farmstead (2019)

There is something about that HF mini willi, my favorite glass for pale ales. Has that double nelson been canned recently? Stopping in for cans (and hopefully damon still) this saturday

 

It was canned/released on 6/12, I believe, but the cans only lasted two or three days.

 

HFS Willi glasses are designed to hold the 12 oz cans, that up until last month (Mary/Walden) is all they were using.

Bissell put out a 12 oz glass that I find myself never using because they can 16 oz. and I hate not pouring the full beer into the glass.

Ive broken 3 of the rona etched (well 2, my friend stepped on the other when we were out in the back yard by the fire, so that should not could) I don't think they are well made. That stem is brittle. It could also just be the moron holding it gets to drunk.

I did manage to grind down the bottom to a flat/large enough surface to still use the glass as a non stemmed glass.

 

When did they put Art in magnums?!?! Some guy on FB trading group going all out trying to trade one.

 

Possibly part of FoFA via raffle

 

Did somebody actually "win"?

 

Oddly enough that trade is turning into a rafflely auction. Very meta.

 

What type of stuff is being offered?

 

Person wanted a couple different options. Basically a combo of multiple Ann 19s, Flora b5, Clovers, Flora Cuvée etc. Its very entertaining, but no ones seems to have won it yet.

 

Crazy. I’m happy I’m naive to secondary/etc, but also wonder what I’ve given away over the years,

How often do they update offerings page? It still says Damon and double Nelson available. What are the chances this is accurate?

 

They don’t date stamp it updated anymore with the new site, but I’d say it’s accurate as of COB today.

I’ve seen them take off stuff during a retail day, but I think it’s updated post close and or post open the following day.

 

Yes and yes. Don't show up at 8am tomorrow for Damon. It'll last the day.

 

Anyone have a check on Damon near close today?

Time for the nightly question, it’s still on website so unless that changes before tomorrow morning, safe to assume that Damon will be available at open and at least reasonably thereafter?

 

Do they still sell the round bulb glasses? Based on what I am seeing it looks like they may now only be selling the etched glasses that are more narrow?

I see these options on the website:

Hill Farmstead Branded Tasting Glass: $4

Hill Farmstead Branded Etched Stem Glass: $10 ($50 - case of 6)

Does anyone know which one the Etched one above is?

This:

Or this:

Thanks!

 

They don't sell the bulb (durabor) glasses anymore. The one with the etched logo (your first picture) around the glass is the one they are currently selling.

 

Thank you. That is unfortunate.

 

I'm pretty sure they stopped selling the bulbs at least 3 years ago at this point, maybe longer?
