With a nod to the first Winter Gatherings (a mere 15 years ago, in February 2011), we invite you to join us for a casual celebration of Vermont’s heartiest season on Sunday, 1 March. Don your winter coat and join us for an afternoon of warmth—both inner and outer—surrounded by the beauty of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom in full winter regalia. 

From 11:30 – 3 p.m., we will have an outdoor area between the bottle shop and taproom where guests can enjoy four beers, including two unreleased selections, including barrel-aged stouts, barleywines, and seasonal offerings. We’ll have fires going to keep us warm, and the taproom and bottle shop will both be open to the public.

We will be joined by Prophecy Chocolate, offering non-alcoholic chocolate drinks featuring their exceptional cacao products, and Jasper Hill Farm, serving up raclette with their delicious cheese.

Bracelets with tasting tickets will be available for purchase in the bottle shop and taproom starting at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, 1 March (no pre-purchase available). Bracelets are $30 (1 per person) and include four 10cl pours and a commemorative glass.

We will also offer historical tours of the brewery, in the spirit of those we offered during 2025. Limited spaces are available for tours at 11:30, 12:30, and 1:30. Reservations can be made on our Tock page beginning 9 February at 9 a.m.: https://www.exploretock.com/hillfarmsteadbrewery.
