    I'm stuck in Montreal for work and looks like I will be cut early today. I can make the drive down to get to hill farmstead about 1-2pm is it still worth the drive? I've heard they sell out and the lines get long. I just don't want to make the drive if I have a high chance to strike out.

    Never been to Hills Farmstead on a weekday and had them sell out a later afternoon arrival is better as the lines have thinned out.

    Sounds good! Now I just need to get cut early :slight_smile: I was cut early Monday and Tuesday but with them not being open it couldn't happen. I'm sure I will work all day today haha.

    I agree that you should be fine on a weekday.

    I haven't been up to hf in a while, but I would think mid afternoon today wouldn't be too busy. Being a Wednesday they shouldn't sell out.

    I have never heard of HF "selling out". They occasionally sell out of a limited offering, or a specific draft product might kick, but I have never been there recently when there is nothing available for purchase.

    Not to thread hijack, but does anyone have a recommended time for me to show up this Saturday? I know its a holiday, and I know the weather hasn't been the greatest, but it's my first time visiting VT so I'd like to make the trek over to HF is possible. Thanks!

    Presidents weekend is a big ski weekend, so don't be suprised if everything in VT is busy.

    Just expect a 2 to 3 hour wait if you go there on Saturday the bottles only line may be quicker but the growler fill line will require the long wait
