HILL FARMSTEAD SEASONAL RELEASE

We’re often asked, what kind of wines do we sell? Our answer always varies. It has to. Because the truth is, we just sell the wines we love to drink. What we love is mostly from Europe, primarily France and Italy. What we love is always sustainably made - not just for the environmental impact, but due to the indisputable fact that better farming leads to better flavor. What we love is sometimes fancy, sometimes very casual. But at the core of it all, there’s a clear intention: make the best drink from the best material possible, no matter where it’s from.

After meeting Shaun Hill of Hill Farmstead Brewery, we started asking ourselves another question: why do we only sell wine. Regulatory reasons aside, wine is the thing we nerd over, it’s the thing we love. But this beer, it’s different. Pure and simple in its components and intention, yet expressive and thought-provoking in its result. Its flavors are more akin to wine than most beers, and if ‘Champagne of Beers’ weren’t already spoken for, it would be an apt tag-line here. Truth is, this beer really does taste like Champagne, whereas the other, let’s admit, tastes like socks.

The beers that Shaun makes are elegant, age-worthy, and impossible to find outside of his family’s home in Greensboro, Vermont. And according to us, they’re as good as it gets.

We’ve worked with Shaun and his team to put together a seasonal release for you. It’s a mix of 6 bottles, all brewed at different times, all showcasing variations of the Hill Farmstead style. It’s a style we’d call balanced, refreshing, and not-at-all like a super hoppy IPA.

We’re honored to offer these to our most loyal customers, the ones who get it. We promise you will enjoy them. Responsibly, of course.

Thank you,

Grant

Fall Seasonal Release

Hill Farmstead Fall Seasonal Release 6-Pack

$150

Florence

750ml

Thanks to some very successful marketing of hefeweizen-style beer, seeing ‘wheat’ on a beer description makes us think: spice cabinet meets mountain dew (and a guy with an orange mohawk). This is different. It has the savory, smoky flavors we look for in volcanic white wines. You’ll be into it if you like sharp and crisp wines, sharp and crisp beers, or both.

Arthur

750ml

The brewery’s classic Farmstead® ale. Arthur, named after Shaun’s grandfather’s youngest brother who once lived on this land, is a super drinkable beer. Energetic and effervescent, it showcases the freshness that’s a hallmark of Hill’s beers.

Wheat Blanc

750ml

Again, this is not a wheat beer as you may know them. Rather, it’s an example of Hill Farmstead’s nuanced touch. Think pet-nats or blanc de blancs Champagne, with lower alcohol but just as much detail.

Nonconformist 11

375ml

Hill Farmstead produces a few different series of experimental beers. They’re limited runs that’ll likely never return. This particular one is brewed with organic oats and barley, aged in wine barrels for nearly a year, and naturally carbonated with sorghum syrup from the legendary Blue Hill at Stone Barns. All that is to say, this is a cool and rare thing to try.

Civil Disobedience Blend 38

750ml

This is one of the beers that really made clear to us just how exceptional and singular Hill Farmstead is. Civil Disobedience is made by blending different beers from their main set. This release, which is aged in wine barrels, is a blend of Anna and Arthur from late summer 2018, Samuel from winter of 2019, and Sankt Hans from autumn of 2019. It’s eye-openingly textured and flavorful. Rare and just plain perfect.

Works of Love: Omnipollo

375ml

The Works of Love series is a collaboration between Hill Farmstead and other breweries. This iteration was crafted in cooperation with Hennok Fentie, a Swedish brewer. After fermenting in 500-liter wine barrels, the base beer was aged and conditioned with wild Maine blueberries and organic vanilla beans. The result is dark and full-flavored, a singular expression of each brewery’s vision.
