Currently on the shelves at Hill Farmstead (September 2014)

Looks like they changed their CD#10 limit from 2 to 1...

 

My name is Aaron... might have to seek this one out

 

I hope this doesn't become the norm in their pricing scheme....

 

well, it did spend 2 years in barrels. that is probably the main reason for the higher cost

 

I'm sure that's a big factor, but even discounting whatever interest HF has in making more money, I don't mind them gently raising prices if it means bottles stay on the shelves longer. That both gives more people a chance to try the irregular releases and, as people see things like Blueberry Flora last for at least a few days, hopefully cuts down on the craziness that has people lining up on Shaun's property in the wee hours.

Ann will be a real test, I guess.

 

CD10, at $30/bottle, will be gone within 15 minutes of opening on Wednesday, so in just a hair over 4 days HF is open.

 

many people have long said that HFs cheap prices help lead to the high demand (in addition to the excellent beer being brewed)

 

Good point. I'm just stuck in my ways. Damon, BGE were $15 and aged 1.5 years... and BGE was 375ml. Gotta pay to play!

 

For a HF virgin, if I were to arrive around 2 PM on a Wednesday or Thursday either next week (10th or 11th) or the week after (17th or 18th), what kind of line waiting do you think I'd be encountering? Curious if it's manageable now that "summer" is over with people back at work full time and their kids in school.

Also, am I right in thinking many people purchase their three refillable container limit, drop the contents in the boot of their car, and then walk straight back to the end of the line for another three refillable container limit purchase?

 

2+ hours.

People usually don't go through the line twice.

 

I've gone through the line twice on a few occasions...it is not the norm and it makes for a very long day.

 

Ive showed up at 3 and got through the line twice in 2 hours. There were no special bottles but I've always had better luck the later in the day I go.

 

So is CD10 gone yet? I'd have to imagine the first 20 ppl in line this morning snatched them up.

 

Today might have been an anomaly because of the small number of CD10 bottles remaining, but any idea how many people were in line around 11:15-11:30 this morning? Last year around this time I got there at 11:45 and was 7th in line on a Wednesday. I'm guessing that's no longer true, but I'm not sure quite how long to wait so I can plan out the rest of the day.

 

Thanks to you and the others who chimed in. My initial guess was it would be 90-120 minutes so hearing it could possibly be more isn't all that shocking. I'll be in the area for most of two days so it gives me two cracks to pick up some brew.

 

It very much depends, they almost always last at least until Saturday. My sense is that the most limited releases will sell out with the first 20-30 people the following Wednesday.

 

Speaking of Arron, im after a bottle! ive made trade post but with trading these days it probably on page 14 by now. If anyone has an extra to trade im very interested in making a swap! ive been waiting for HF to release a ba bwine sicne i first tried them

to op i know good and evil was around for a decent amount of time, it all depends on how much is brewed!

also it looks like CD10 is all out, and that came out less than a week ago right?
