Grassroots Brewing, circa 2005, was the conceptual precursor to Hill Farmstead Brewery.  What began in Denmark in 2009 has evolved over the last decade-plus into a parallel brand and domain for creative collaborations.

This imperial stout was originally brewed by Ryan Witter-Merithew in 2011 at Fanø Bryghus, Denmark, for Rome’s legendary Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fà to celebrate the birth of the owner’s daughter. This reenvisioning of the original recipe benefits from the experience and learning inherent in a decade of growth.  This version is 10% abv and more rich and velvety than it was over a decade ago—one might taste the inspiration of Damon and the early structure of Danish-derived recipes.  As with all of our bottles, this imperial stout is bottle-conditioned.
