Currently on the shelves at Hill Farmstead (October 2014)

Of course it all depends on how big the batch was. But yeah it is safe to assume it will go fast.

 

Damn that's a pretty sight. Glad I have a few days off next week.

 

I'll be there for the first time on Friday afternoon. Crossing my fingers for this but will be happy getting to try HF hoppy beers regardless.

 

From the horse's mouth on Facebook, re: Art:

Hill Farmstead Brewery: Release date is TBD, but within a few weeks. Stay tuned!

Hill Farmstead Brewery: ... 1 bottle per person. All other details coming soon. It will almost certainly last through the week it's released with that limit to ensure as many people get a chance at it as possible at our retail shop.

 

Bummer-- guess I won't be grabbing any next week. 1 bottle/ person is cool, but will make getting one of these second-hand a bit more difficult.

 

The website was updated today and Anna is still on with a 1 case limit.

 

FYI: When I was there on Thursday the refillable container limit was 5 vs the 3 advertised on their website.

 

Currently says Anna is sold out. Just Clara bottles available with a 2 case limit.

 

I saw that this morning too....but now it states SOLD OUT.

*EDIT* tylerk88 beat me to it

 

From the bottle release page:

Vintage Bottle Sale

Wednesday 10/15 through Friday 10/17/2014 or while supplies last – limited supplies of vintage bottles will be put on sale at our retail shop this coming week. 1 bottle (in total) per person, per day!

• If there are multiple vintage beers on the shelf at the time you make your purchase you have to choose 1 bottle of all the options, it is NOT 1 bottle per beer that is available. 1 bottle (in total) per person, per day!
• A new beer or beer(s) will be released each day (Wed/Th/Friday). Anything that is leftover at the end of one day may or may not be available the following day.
• Stout lovers as well as wild beer lovers should be happy with the selections depending on the day… timing is everything =)
• Again, these supplies are limited and once the allotment is gone, it is gone.
• Thanks and see you soon!

 

awwwwwwwwwww yes.

 

1 bottle? pfft.

 

damn.

 

Wish it didn't cost me a fortune in gas each way to gamble on a random awesome bottle or two, because I'm sure there are some sweet ass bottles coming out. I just can't justify the time off, gas and all. Still seems like an awesome idea, and it encourages loyalists to get the goods.


Very high suspicion some Flora will be issued.

 

I'm in exactly the same boat. If I knew what bottles where on what days I would take work off and drive 6 hours, but it's too much of a gamble as is. I understand why they do it though.

 

Same boat seconded.

 

If anyone going up 91 through CT or Western MA and want to carpool this Thursday PM me.

 

sounds like a detour is in order on my trip back from NJ on Wednesday... although, I likely won't roll in until 4pm. I wonder how the shelf will look at that time. Fingers crossed!

 

Ha, HF site is down now, is everyone endlessly refreshing in case they post a list of what will be available?

 

Nobody hold their breath for that, doubt they post it.

 

hmm... I might make an early birthday trip up there now. I was going to wait for Ann, but that could be months.

 

I'm on working in NH for a while, but unfortunately no way to get up there until Saturday. Still, looking forward to finally visiting HF and getting some growlers/bottles to tide me over.

 

if anybody is heading through burlington tomorrow and wants to carpool let me know, ill throw you a bottle of anna.

 

Here waiting, all quiet so far....



JKJK I'm at work. Please post what you find there today , HF go-ers! I am curious what gets unleashed.

 

Should somebody start a "Gems I Found at Hill Farmstead This Week" thread?

 

I think that's what this thread is. I'll be following closely.

 

Sign says: Port Barrel Damon- imperial stout aged in port barrels.

 

Wow. Port Damon. They aren't messing around.

 

Any gauge of whether the vintage bottles are available in the bottles only line, or just to those in the growler line?

 

@judkinst

• These bottles will not be availible in the bottles only line

 

Ah, thanks! I must have blacked out after reading "Stout lovers as well as wild beer lovers should be happy with the selections"

 

only Port Damon? the site alluded to multiple options being on the shelf

 

how long was the line at open?

 

@averagjoe3

Check the bullet points: http://hillfarmstead.com/bottle-release/

-A new beer or beer(s) will be released each day (Wed/Th/Friday) when we open at NOON. Anything that is leftover at the end of one day may or may not be available the following day.

 

Thank you for picking up the reading comprehension slack.

 

Got there at 1130ish...they actually opened the doors at 11:40 instead of 12. Our wait was 2 hours to get the Port Damon. Mostly was the usual issue of painfully slow growler fills. Would have been great to skip the line...tomorrow will be a different bottle + Port Damon if any is left.

 

I can't make it up there this weekend, I hope I don't miss out on anything too crazy!

 

Showed up around 245 and was 14th in line. Took about 45 minutes from start to finish. There was one case (12) of Port Damon when I left. No idea if it was the last, however.

 

Anyone get any indication of what's going up tomorrow? Headed to the hill at the end of the day. Whatever bottles they release plus double citra/galaxy makes for a nice afternoon drive
