Fourteen Stone Drinking Crew #2
— Naturally I had to grab some growlers and bottles for the Fourteen Stone Drinking Crew while at Hill Farmstead, and with a little coordination from Merc, we made it happen on one of the days he was in town. Elise made a huge spaghetti dinner for the guys mid-tasting, too. The consumption of Tums was plentiful that night.
Like most days Merc is in town, it was a Monday so things didn’t get too crazy. In addition to the Hill Farmstead beer, Jon brought a growler from his Trapp Family Lodge stop on the way home from the Harvest Festival and Merc brought over some randoms from Cascade, Cigar City and others.
The lineup:
- Oktoberfest by Trapp Family Lodge Brewery
- Simcoe Single Hop Pale Ale by Hill Farmstead Brewery
- Society & Solitude #5 by Hill Farmstead Brewery
- Apricot by Cascade Brewing Company

If you’re wondering about the Golden Blend and Saison Asterisk in the main pic, I snagged them at Hunger Mountain Coop on the way home from the Harvest Festival. Haven’t cracked them yet but you know sure as hell I’ll post some pics when I do.
