escape artist posted:Good Gourd? Yessir. Got several cases of pumpkin in last weekend. Gonna suck opening all those cans  funkybottoms: yes, there's a lot of it. Re: glassware. I pretty much use a pint glass for anything I want to drink pints of and a snifter for sours, high gravity beers, etc. Beyond that I don't see much need. I'm sure there are plenty of glassware spergs who will disagree, though.

Corbet posted:You guys have really ramped up the release of barrel aged offerings. Is there any strategy on how often you'll be releasing them? Completely random? We've seen 3 different Barrel aged beers in the last month. Absolutely no strategy. I imagine most other notable breweries spend a lot pf time devoted to marketing and release strategies but uh we don't. At all. We have a couple big events a year but otherwise just play it by ear. With the Cognac Church I told Joey after we bottled it Monday, "Hey I'm going to start selling these Friday" and he said "Okay" and that was that. It kinda owns. funkybottoms: depends on what vibe you want. Want to be all alone with your thoughts and a flight of beers, come in on a Monday morning. Want to be around beer geeks, come Thursday nights. Want a food truck and/or special cask beer, come Friday or Saturdays. Either way let me know when you're there! Going to 7venth Sun today. Going to drink a lot of good hoppy beers. Going to get hammered again. I need to curtail my big sloppy messy weekends

InsensitiveSeaBass posted:I drank a Delerium Tremens last night and it was good, but I wouldn't put it as the best beer I ever had. How much of it's "best beer in the world" is hype? Someone called it that back in like 96 or 97 and they've stood by it. Similar to PBR in that regard.

Angry Grimace posted:I've never found a "session IPA" that I liked, so yeah, I wouldn't have a lot of hope. Really? That's pretty much my favorite style now. Big hop flavor but easy to drink is the best thing going right now. I'm glad more breweries are doing it.

escape artist posted:What are some examples? I've never found one that I liked, but I'm not opposed to trying new ones. The most notable off the top of my head is Intergalactic IPA by 7venth Sun here in the Tampa area. Now that's hardly distributed anywhere but I love it v  v. I think Terrapin does something like that and I don't hate it (unlike almost every other Terrapin beer). Okay maybe I haven't really had that many  . But I love the idea of it!

funkybottoms posted:ugh, so pissed at my brother- he bitched out on me and instead of hitting up CCB, 7venth Sun, Peg's, Funky Buddha, etc, he's just gonna see what's at Total Wine. guess i'll at least get some CCB.... poor me, i know, but to be that close and not spend a couple hours getting some amazing beers that will likely never make it to VA blows my mind. At least he'll get some fresh Maduro

Boy oh boy do I not care at all about people selling beers on eBay. I guess he can try upping the price of his bottles big time to make up for the loss revenue via eBay but...no one will buy his beer, because people who buy his beer on eBay don't go to Hill Farmstead because they're nowhere near Hill Farmstead, and they're generally excited to try a beer they have no access to otherwise.

I've seen ones labeled "Apple Brandy Hunahpu" but the growler I got from a regular trading partner just says "BA Hunahpu" Nope. Sucks about GABF. That's going to be an utter shitshow. I'm going with CCB this year so that'll be neat

Not really except avoid Fridays if you want to sit down and enjoy a sample flight or something. It's just too busy. The local beer geeks are having a tasting on Wednesday at CCB, and I imagine we'll open up some cool poo poo. Let me know if you're coming, I'll tap something neat.

Barrel-aged beers are expensive and even more expensive once they hit distribution and get retail mark-up. $27 sounds reasonable for that.

Pretty sure Firestone Walker makes a shitload more of their barrel-aged stuff. Great Divide is pretty small compared to them, I think.

We tapped a keg of the cedar Dos Costas last week and it was sour as gently caress. And completely delicious. We've had reports of exploding bottles of all 3 variations. Basically it's infected all to hell but tastes awesome now so

Corbet posted:Any chance you guys are going to let people have trustees and pick up allotments/releases. I have family 15 minutes away from the brewery. Yeah. Basically the idea is that each member gets a locker and we just put beer into those lockers once they're packaged and whoever has the key will just come and get them whenever they want. So if you bought it, you'd just give the key to whoever is close by to come grab them. I think we'll make an official announcement this week.

swickles posted:Don't normally post here, just occasionally browse. Anyways, I wanted to make my first brag post because tonight I won a bottle of Westvleteran 12 from 2001 in a raffle tonight. The Funky Buddha out of Boca Raton, FL (purveyors of Maple Bacon Coffee Porter, the Imperial version Wide Awake, and its Bourbon Barrel aged counterpart, Morning Wood) had their anniversary party. So, not only did I get Morning Wood tonight, but I also got some Westy, and 12 year old Westy at that. Last time I went to Funky Buddha, Ryan gave me a bottle of 2004 Lou Pepe Geueze. FB is pretty awesome.
