Hill Farmstead (2020)

Alchemist actually does full pours now as well. Pretty cool outdoor patio area that's hooked up right now with lots of ice sculptures.

 

Was just about to post that.

 

Any insight on whether Flora Raspberry is likely to make it to Saturday? Thinking about making an impromptu trip and getting that (in addition to everything else) would make the decision much easier. My sense is they don't see as much traffic this time of year and it may last?

 

Did u score some? It appears it's still there since it's on their website! I'm hoping some shit lasts since I'm fortunate enough to be going there this upcoming Thursday and Friday. If anyone had any input on how the road to hill farmstead looks I'd be happy to hear it. I'm from California and we don't deal with the kind of harsh weather you guys do.

 

The road is fine, it's just dependent on snow. As of now, it looks like we are getting a snow storm on Thursday. Its 5 days out, so who knows. Just drive slow and you'll be fine.

 

Flora cuvée lotto. Oh. My. Gawwwwwwwwd.

 

Oh my.... This will be my first experience with HF lottos. Will the listings be up for a while or is this a "be there at 10am or be screwed" ordeal? Super excited.

 

We haven't been looped into when the actual beer is going to be released, have we?

 

pretty sure the pick up dates have not been announced yet.

 

I was digging through their instagram post and saw they replied to someone else: "Pick up dates will be over two weeks in early March—full info available on 2/8!"

 

A $93 saison huh? Da fuque?

 

Presumably to ward off flippers?

I wonder if it’ll work.

 

The $2 entry fee will likely help as well.

 

I am really curious how many registrations they will get? I put in for the two days I know I can swing a visit. I did the same for Ann with no luck. I am actually a fan of the forced philanthropy- all the folks willing to spend 90 bucks on a beer should contribute to farming sustainability.

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong bit I think/thought the Ann registration was transferrable meaning people could have family, friends, and coworkers enter then just transfer over to the person that wants it. This one appears to be non-transferrable.

Non-transferrable entries plus $2 entry fees should reduce the total # of entries. Good luck Dave

 

you don’t really think $2-8 is a deterrent if ppl would be willing to spend $85 on a beer do you? Maybe 2 of the pickup days being during March madness will deter some! Anyway, hope you’re right, I’m in for $4.

 

It'll be harder for the person to convince family, friends and coworkers to sign up as a proxy if they have to pay $2/entry. I also doubt many people will be entering every day of the registration period as last time. $80 in entry fees alone is a lot to swallow
