Hall Brewing

It's just another case of an upstart pricing themselves at or above the pricing of established breweries without a leg to stand on. I for one am tired of it which is why I will scroll past crap like this. We've seen the boom and I hope we see another craft beer bust too.

 

Tried all 3 and thought they were good but not worth the $9 IMO. I feel there are much better beers for the same price or cheaper. I hope they come out with a true farmhouse or some good bretty beer in the future.

 

I can understand this view point. Still, if they start out at 4.99 then raise their prices as they grow, people would complain that they're raising their prices Of course, they still might raise them anyway lol
We have 'em at 7.99

 

I think their other big issue is they don't even have a tasting room.

 

This is second hand, but someone told me the lack of a tasting room had something to do with the liquor laws at the moment.
I still want to try that red just for the sake of trying it. I'm even curious how it compares with the pretty stellar Lone Tree Red from down that way.

 

6-pack of Odell St. Lupulin, $10

That means 22oz. bombers (equivalent to <2 bottles of 12oz. beer) should be roughly $3.33. I can't imagine it's more expensive to fill a single 22oz. than two 12oz. bottles (labeling, boxing, etc).

Good regular drinking beer in bombers, IMHO should be in the $4-$6 range (not including, Imperials, BA & Sours)

Even Odell Lugene should be equivalent to ~$5.50 in a bomber.

 

If it has any ties to Falcon... count me out all together. And at $9 a 22oz... I'm out twice.

 

I saw Lone Tree's Acres 'O Green Red for $6 today. That's a damn fine red (+ it's on the malty side) for a reasonable price.

 

It's a huge mistake to call everything a "farmhouse" beer that's not a Farmhouse Beer. It's a style. You never want a knowledgeable consumer picking up the beer then thinking that you screwed up your process and couldn't get the style right. I hope it doesn't get in the way if the beer is good, but there have been plenty of companies that struggled with this exact thing in the past. There isn't much that I can think of to be gained by adding the label, but a lot to lose.

 

Well...... historically farmhouse ales were all sorts of styles brewed in farmhouses during the summer and were meant to be session-able ales. Farmhouse has only recently implied a saison or even biere de garde (it used to include both and was hard to identify), but now those are clearly defined as a style I don't see why the term farmhouse can't be laxed. Maybe I'm missing something.

Although from the looks of the labels "Farmhouse" Red Ale, Stout and IPA would definitely be misleading and not really representative of the term's historical usage, unless they are brewing with a farmhouse/saison yeast and/or fermenting with various yeast strains found in their locale.

 

Dammit, Mike, you know what I mean...

Flaunt your farmhouse ale historical knowledge on Wikipedia. This is BA: Where facts go to die.

 

I'm bored at work... yea... I knew what you meant

I was just thinking about Jester King and their use of "Farmhouse yeast" in their Imperial Stout (9.3%) and the like, so even Jester King is only half farmhouse.
