Hill Farmstead (2019)

With Flora hitting peak hype levels, for whatever reason, this is bound to be a wild ride for anyone going early on.

Flora is a great beer, don't get me wrong, but something in the beer community lit the fuse on this particular label this year.

Flora is amazing, but I have a hard time justifying the price tag when the regular offerings are so good... but I'll see you all on Wed lol

 

how's the line? I'm going tomorrow instead

 

Anyone that was there today have any insight as to why that WetHop Centennial Beer isn't listed on the retail page?

 

That is strange it’s not on the retail page. It is listed on the Current Draft and Bottles page.

 

Are there normally lines or would there be only because of the Flora release?

 

There are normally lines but they will definitely be longer because of the Flora release.

 

Compared to what you're used to, no, there are no lines.

Somewhat kidding, obviously there are normally some lines, but it's not bad at all if you go on a weekday. Saturdays and holidays are obviously worse, but still not as bad as a typical summer weekend at Tree House.

 

Unless there is a big release (e.g. the most recent Clover and Samuel releases)

 

got there at 12ish yesterday and it took us about 1:20 to get through the retail line. was pretty relaxed though and tap room was never too crowded. definitely much tamer than the recent Clover and Damon releases.

 

Any Double Riwaka reviews?

 

I've been following this release but I was confused about whether the limits for Flora are 3 per person per day or 3 max per person per this release. I know somewhere buried on their website was an explanation about the verbiage used about limits but I couldn't find it. I'm asking because I'll be there in a month and want to have a good understanding of how these things work in case somethings released while I'm there

 

If a limit is posted with a release, bottle limits are per person per release, not per person per day.

 

The website is confusing but this is incorrect - you can go multiple days unless otherwise noted

 

Ah, okay. Thanks.

Feel like the old page was better at stating this. I took this from the FAQs on the new page. Not sure where they would note it now since they no longer have the special release page like they did previously. At least I couldn’t find it.

@Beerbom disregard my reply. See @DonFrap above.

 

Ah, OK so now I do see the information in the FAQ section. I guess it's the "highly limited releases" that would have this notation then. Thank you guys for your help.

 

Yeah it was much more obvious on the old page, and they’ve changed the policy a few times. I haven’t seen them state any release lately be a 1-time per release, so no clue where it would show up.
