    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.

    Since I started this late, I moved the post above from the April thread to this one.

    Seriously... I'd hate to see how exclamation points this guy uses if something of ACTUAL importance goes wrong in his life... A wise man once said, "It's just beer."

    Chill out, it's only beer after all. You can see, I didn't used any exclamation point. Satisfied? ;-)

    Gotta admit I may overreact, just dissapointed that I missed some nice brews like BGE, E., CD9 etc. But I agree Everett is amazing, it's gonna be awesome anyway!

    Haha, just bustin' your balls, man. Speaking as someone who frequents Hill Farm, I can promise you no trip is ever a wasted one. Take it all in, chat with your fellow lovers of fine ale in line, walk around the grounds after you get your beer, it's spectacularly quiet up there which is awesome. And I feel you, always nice to see some whales on the shelf but you will not be disappointed no matter what is on the shelves.

    And I mean hey, if you don't want that Hommage, buy a bottle and hide it in the bushes for me :wink:. Hoping to make the trek today as well but only if it's looking like that beautiful bottle will be on the shelf at 5pm!

    Probably 2-3 hours from what my Early Saturdays have been like there. You should be safe to score 4 bottles of Everett and probably some Arctic Soiree and Vermontoise as well. You also have Ephraim, Abner and SS5 on tap at the same time.

    I see nothing wrong with this post. If I drove to Hill farmstead knowing they had a bunch of amazing sours/saison on the shelf recently I'd be disapointed if they were not there when I got up there. I'd still be ecstatic to get Everett and all the growler offerings. But I don't think it's a bad thing to say you were disappointed to miss out on the others.

    I thought it was reported that ADwtD sold out like halfway through the first day (Wednesday)?

    If you are talking about me, unfortunetely No adwtd, but hommage was still available at 2 Saturday. For what I could see, at least 12 were left. And maybe they had some in the back, people weren't buying it att all. Probably the price tag...good thing for me!

    It was an amazing trip, glad I stop and visit the place. Another stop in the near future for sure!

    With a limit of 2 there's probably more than the last M&C, and that lasted through the release weekend. I'd be very surprised if HF put a limit > 1 on anything they didn't think they could keep on hand for a few days.

    Just dropped by today.
    Flora with blueberries is not there currently.
    They still have M&C4.

    They said it won't be available before memorial day, which sucks because I'll be up there but it does make the decision between Lawson's+Alchemist and HF a lot easier!

    Is this batch of Arthur any different from the previous? I remember reading something that Arthur would start to become more like the original Art while Art goes in a different direction or something like that; wondering if Shaun has started to actualize that vision yet.

    Did anyone hears news about the magnums of Arthur? Will this be a regular format in the future and with other saisons? I'd love a mag of Norma and Damon, just saying!

    Not my picture, but they definitely exist and people bought them today. I was not there today, I do not know the circumstance of them being for sale.

    They were $40 bucks and on the shelf where the t-shirts are. I'd be curious as to how many there are!?!?

    That car seat held my first born son who rode up with us on the way there. Those two bottles took the ride back.

    2 Arthur magnums = first born child.

    What is the bottle count on the magnums? I'm pretty sure that would be the determining factor.

    Much truth here. I'm curious to see what the going rate will be for these. I'd love to snag one.
