Fear and Trembling was Hill Farmstead’s first collaboration – a Baltic Porter brewed with malt that was hand-smoked over maple wood by our Danish friend, and former colleague, Anders Kissmeyer. This version was brewed with malts smoked onsite with a blend of native woods, fermented with lager yeast, and conditioned in stainless.

As a student of philosophy and former resident of Copenhagen, it is fitting that our brewer named our first collaboration after Denmark’s great thinker: Søren Kierkegaard. All three contemplated absurdity, faith, and salvation while wandering the shores of the Baltic Sea…
“…continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling…”
