Hill Farmstead (2020)

I'm sure no one knows, but do they allocate how many people can schedule a pickup for say Thursday at 11:15am? I was there 15 minutes early, got in line behind three cars, then at least ten piled in line behind us. Plus, the car right behind me was an older couple that literally placed their order right there in line. That was odd.

 

and...Susan!

 

My favorite HF IPA, got mine ordered for pickup on Friday!

 

I went this past Friday, smooth as could be at 3pm, three cars ahead of me, took 5-10 minutes. Eerily quiet there on such a lovely day.

 

I am very excited for this batch of Mary. I just tried my first lager from them in Marie when it was released a couple weeks ago and I have to say that it really blew me away.

 

Wait til you get around to Memoria, Rhetorica and Poetica

 

What's left not to be canned at this point? Ephraim?! Can't remember if Harlan was canned?

 

Memoria is my #1 Hill Farmstead beer for those kind of styles. Autumna is 2nd. Speaking of which, is Autumna supposed to rotate around in late Sept like last year (start of fall)?

 

Looks like neither of those, but then again neither come around too often either. That said, the way things are going you never know, right?!

 

Autumna popped up for growlers in late September as you mentioned. It was 2L only ($22) and lasted a weeks worth of retail days (Wed-Wed).

 

I was happy to be there for that. Picked up one of those 2L growlers and brought it with me on my work trip to Quebec. It was consumed in its entirety that evening.

I hope that makes its way back around, and in cans. There would be no shortage of ISO posts, and mine would be among them.

 

I've been hoping this makes its way to cans this year. love that beer.

 

I've seen Harlan often enough, even on draft in NYC. Ephraim is rare enough to see at this point so would doubt that one.
I was speaking Pale ales and IPAs but yeah Holger Danske would be nice

 

Sure, but Harlan hasn’t been on through Hill since January.

 

Jimmy cans would make me happy.

 

Everett returns! Been a long time since packaged Everett (minus growlers from early in the year).

 

No exciting news to chime in, just wanted to note that I'm enjoying a Biere de Norma 2018 right now and wow, it's a well-constructed beer. The Hill-ness of it really shines through, even for a relatively unpopular style.

 

Agreed, one of my favorite vintages of BdN. The reg Biere de Mars they released on draft early this year, right before Covid, was real impressive as well- again for the relatively unpopular style.

 

I agree! I hope they bottle that in the future. I thought it was on par with Sankt Hans (another one I wish they bottled more frequently).
