Hill Farmstead (2020)

The curbside set up was extremely convenient and easy. Also, I was the only customer there at 4:30 yesterday. I figured there would be a few cars in line at my scheduled pick up time.

Additionally, these Edward cans are excellent. I wish I had some of the current recipe to compare. I would keep these in my fridge all year if I could.

 

Completely baseless speculation on my part since I won't get to try it, but based on the haze still present in the pictures I've seen of this Edward batch, I'm wondering if the different yeast is actually Conan instead of Chico. I believe Shaun's on the record as having used it in the past and transitioning away from it some years ago.

 

Has anyone cracked a Prolegomena recently or know someone who has? Just curious how it’s holding up. Pictures from my first trip to HF popped up on my timeline today and got me all nostalgic. That was one of my all time favorite Flanders. Wish they’d make it a yearly release.

 

That beer was phenomenal. Wish they'd rebrew that one again. Was lucky to have had it 3 times but its been 6-7 years. I'd be curious as well.

 

Fear & Trembling was the beer that really got me into dark beers. In 2011/2012, that was some life changing shit

 

So if im coming from NJ do i need to abide by this as well, or since NJ isnt on there im good to go?

nice im Union County looks like im good

 

Has What is Enlightenment made it into cans before this week?

 

Not from my experience. My history with it is on draft a Parker Pie in ‘16 and the barrel aged bottle versions.

EDIT: looks like some can checkins from May 2019.

 

I’ve had that in cans.

 

Yes. It’s been in cans before hence my edit.

 

Simply providing additional verification.

 

Am I missing something with these non-alcoholic and 2% abv craft beers that are popping up? I understand 4-5%. I'll even concede that a 3.5% slushie or shandy might occasionally hit the spot. This I don't get.

 

Mixed Fermentation O’Douls?

 

I just read this...

I get it a little more now.

 

I joke about it, but I would try it. And possibly enjoy it. And even drink it often if I had access to it regularly.

 

Are beers like that typically cheaper than a 5% from the same brewery?

 

Couldn’t tell you. Good question.
