That lemon lime drop top I call it the sprite when I pop the HF you can call it a night. It just delivers on every level and people somehow sleep on this relative to other offerings.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Every time I see another person asking on a forum for the hundredth time, \u201cWhere are all the Vermont traders?\u201d, I\u2019ll quote DDB. I\u2019ve probably sent out 5-6 bottles of Hill Farmstead to traders last year, usually just the saisons that are very easy for me to get\u2026nothing rare or limited, just case limit, $10 saisons that come out every 2-3 weeks for the last 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>The reason, as I\u2019ve said before, is that there are very few bottles I\u2019ve traded for that outweigh Shaun\u2019s beer enough to deal with the hassle of trading, packing, shipping and receiving bottles from other breweries. Jester King, too acidic. Side Project, hit-or-miss. Forest &amp; Maine, 20% of what i\u2019ve had was great. Alpine, great hoppy beers but nothing on HF IPAs. De Garde, one-dimensional and not mind-blowing. The only \u2018hot\u2019 brewery right now that I love drinking is Sante Adairius and Cellar Maker for pale ales. I just drink those @ the source.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m trying to think of a few others but I think these days. Russian River wild ales, huge ABV Bruery beers, Schramm\u2019s mead, real-Lambic and Hill Farmstead is all I need in my life and most of these things I buy in person without trading for them.<\/p>\n<p>I drink Hill Saisons 3-4 times a week and maybe 2 batches in the last year to me, were less than stellar. Then I waited 6 months and they became world-class. It\u2019s great because they\u2019re a local brewery. Not sure I could ever move away from this area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via DontDrinkBeer: re: Brother Soign\u00e9 from Hill Farmstead The January 2015 blend really makes trading for any other&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-03-17T02:19:37Z","apple_news_api_id":"ad2ecb99-81c1-4157-a3c3-0befc31bc8dc","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-03-17T02:19:37Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/ArS7LmYHBQVejwwvvwxvI3A","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[173],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2692","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-beer-news","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-Hq","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7782,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/02\/11\/review-hill-farmstead-ann-b2-2015\/","url_meta":{"origin":2692,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 Review: Hill Farmstead Ann (B2, 2015)","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"February 11, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"I acquired only 1 bottle of Ann for the 2012 release.
