Currently on the shelves at Hill Farmstead (September 2016)

Between this website, another forum, FB and untappd I have only seen 20-25 people besides myself that got in. Not assuming it's that low but I feel like it's in the hundred range. Just speculation.

 

based on my signup number (1 min after it opened) and one I saw very close to the deadline I'd estimate that 2500-3000 people entered. Which even if there were 200 memberships is pretty rough odds.

 

Dang, would have expected way more than that...I expected all beer fans in the northeast to sign up at minimum and thats way more than 3000

 

In contrast, the mornin delight lottery, which was for 2 bottles of beer no proxies or transfers of any kind for any reason was getting 80k clicks on the ticket site at one time

 

Are you considering this your Order#? If so, I entered on the 9/22 and my order# was in the 6-digits. I did not get selected.

 

Looked to me like they started at 102300 being the first entry

 

With that starting point, I'd say you're in the ballpark of entries. Thanks.

 

In 2013, the membership was about 50 people for the CW. Not saying it's that low this time, since the brewery has expanded since then it could be a much higher number...I think they are keeping it relatively limited due to the space involved with reserving the beers as well as trying to ensure that the membership can continue this time and that those who are not in the CW will still have reasonable allocation numbers for their bottles. I read that the lottery favored those who selected monthly or quarterly, but I have no idea how true that is. I selected bi-annually and still got in.

 

Has anyone gotten in that has never been to HF before?

 

So what are the odds a couple more spots open up after the 5pm deadline to submit the membership fee tonight? I'm assuming several people entered without reading the no proxy part or just can't make it up there for some reason

 

New batch of Arthur on the retail list.

 

Assuming a 100-200 person initial acceptance list, maybe 1-3% would seem reasonable. I thought I remembered a post on the site saying they would have a waiting list, so we'll see if anyone gets a second chance email tonight/tomorrow!

 

Selected bi-annually and got in. Was part of round 1 as well and know of a good number of others from back then who did not get in this time around.
