    Does anyone know if this beer is on draft around Boston? I had it at the Festival Last weekend in Worcester and it was amazing.

    Thanks.

    It is amazing, but unfortunately Hill Farmstead drafts usually only come to Boston for special occasions. Haven't seen one for a while.

    HF's website says they only ship to markets outside of VT a couple times a year. I'm hoping they might have some at the HopHead ThrowDown at Publick House in July. They had HF Double Galaxy last year.

    If any place has it it would be Armsby Abbey but I doubt it.

    Making the pilgrimage up to the Farmstead is 1/2 the fun. A beer road trip to one of the best breweries on the East Coast (arguably the country)...there could be worse ways to spend a day

    How long does it usually take to get up there from Boston? Google maps says 3.5 hrs, but I've heard it takes longer. I'm hoping to maybe get up there for the next bottle release.

    Check their site, and wait until July 14th, they're doing a bottle release then with a slew of bottles available. Unless you want to go twice, but as of right now, they probably dont have too much, compaired to their July release date

    I takes me almost 2.5 hours to get to/from Boston..and HF is another 1.5-1.75 hours north of me.

    And I'm right on the way to HF from Boston...there's no quicker way. I'd plan on 4 hours from Boston area to HF. Shouldn't be much longer than that. Don't trust GPS...print directions and go the old fashioned, low-tech, way once you're close.

    Harlan is excellent! Glad you all get to enjoy that down there (super fresh too, from what I gather)

    From boston, it really depends on how you drive, but I'd say plan on 4 hrs to be safe.
