    Has Brienne been sued yet? Her gofundme was specifically for legal fees and was started a few years ago. If she hasn't been sued, isn't her gofundme fraudulent? It was started 3 years ago and lawsuits are public and i can't find one with Bries name on it.

    Relevant because it speaks to her credibility. No follow up on the go fund me itself, no mention of any lawsuits, basically zero tracking of where the money went. If this was soo important to her, she would be detailing how each dollar is benefiting the cause.

    there are plenty of better beers to be had, and made by people who are decent and transparent about how they operate. i am sure it will shake out unfavorably for her in the end, you can only go so far with a brand built on such negativity.

    built on such negativity? I thought the brand was based on the European tank pup tradition and perfecting two traditional lager styles.

    We got a fresh coat of snow this morning, but it's mostly already melted. I went to the brewery on Saturday, expecting awful mud, but it wasn't bad at all. Ruts are bad though, but nothing unavoidable. I believe we're expecting a storm on Saturday. Supposedly 6+ inches. The weather has really see-sawed all winter. Normal winter with snow for a couple weeks, then unseasonable temps where everything melts, then back to real winter, then melt, etc. I've given up trying to anticipate it and have accepted that if I go to HF, my car may end up completely covered in mud...or not at all.

    Everything froze up very hard last 3 days. However, 12"-18" heavy snow forecast for the NEK and south, starting tonight, through early Sunday. A lot of events postponed. Then a warm up to 50° by Weds. Fun times up here!

    Shhh. Don’t tell Brienne - but BlackBack is serving both HF/SP.

    Props.
    And I love the menu categorization we've come to.... IPA and Not IPA.

    They can sell what they want. They have been doing it right for years. I’d buy fucking Kool aid from them. Amazing bar

    Its a shame there's no dark lager or Everett on draft from Hill, I'd love to ask for a black & tan with the Sacred & Profane Pale, post on social media and tag brie.

    I'm headed to HF for the first time in years. I'm used to showing up 1-2 hours before they open and still being greeted with a line, but they've expanded significantly since I first started going there.

    I'm trying to plan an agenda that includes grabbing lunch before hitting the brewery. Any advice what I can expect in late May? Typical lines and waits? Or is it reasonable enough at this point that you can drop in early afternoon with little worry?

    Weekday or weekend? Honestly MOST of the time either is really chill. Weekday it shouldn't make a difference to your plan at all, weekend I'd guess maybe a 2 minute line is closer to a 10 minute line.

    Thanks, that's helpful! It's a Saturday, but a 10 minute line is way better than the hours I'm used to. :slight_smile:

    Outside of holiday/vacation weeks and special events, lines are mostly a thing of the past at HF. If you’re coming around Memorial Day weekend, that’ll be a busy week since tons of people are on vacation and it’s Hill’s anniversary week.

    That Tock website they use for FOFA tickets sucks ass. Event didn't even appear on the page until 12:02 for me, and by then it was all sold out

    For once I got lucky with a HF online sale. Apparently my internet is FOFA fast, but not Ann fast.

    Funny, I got Ann and not FOFA. Hoping there will be some sort of in-person ticket sales for locals, but not gonna hold my breath.

    Was in Northampton MA last night to see Anders Osborne. Dirty Truth had Harlan and Everett on tap. Everett was freaking fantastic!
