    Since Hill Farmstead is no longer holding official release events, please use this thread to post the bottles available on the shelves along with costs, sizes, limits and so forth.

    It's ok to include the beers available in growlers too.

    As always, looking at the HF retail page

    http://www.hillfarmstead.com/retail/

    or calling the brewery

    802-533-7450

    are your best sources for up-to-date information.

    Looks like Daybreak is still available, so maybe Wednesday's Norma crowd will get lucky

    Anyone know if you have to wait in line if you're just picking up bottles (no growlers)?

    I can probably have this question easily answered by calling the brewery, but why not bother my fellow BAs?

    It can seem a little daunting, but just walk past the growler line and let them know you're just looking for bottles. If they are running low on any then you probably will need to wait in line for those, but otherwise you should be able to grab some without waiting in the line. I know on Presidents weekend they actually had a sign for this, but that isn't always the case.

    When I was up for the recent Arthur and Daybreak release, they allowed bottles only purchases but not for CD8 of which there were only 18 left. You might face the same situation if they are low on Daybreak so you do not screw the people in line who may not get it if you do.

    Got there today at 2pm. No line at all. In and out in 30 minutes after some tastings and BSing with everyone. Norma was limit 3 again. Plenty of Norma and Daybreak left. Phil mentioned they will meet tomorrow morning to decide whether to keep it at 3 or knock it down to 2.

    Showed up at 4:30. No exaggeration, line was just a few people before being out the door. I was cramped for time so ended up just picking up bottles.

    I wonder if they've noticed any patterns to the lines at this point, e.g. why 2:00 Friday is empty but 4:30 isn't (maybe everyone rushing in before close). There was a over a 90 minute line at open a few Wednesdays ago. Sounds like there are light pockets in there, but unless those are known, it's becoming too much of a gamble to head up from Boston, unless I'm making a day out of it (In before "good, shorter line for the rest of us").

    Norma was 2/person today. Bottle line was only for Norma. Daybreak looked like it had maybe 4 cases left. Weird that limit was 6 all day yesterday.

    CD9 and CD12 are now on the upcoming bottle releases page. Interesting... Wonder where CD10 and CD11 are?

    Madness & Civilization 4 makes its first appearance on the release page as well, I believe.

    "Madness and Civilization #4: Tragedy (et al) aged in Bourbon barrels for 24 months - with Cacao, Ancho, and Chipotle. 375ml."
