Double Barrel Aaron • Excursions: HBC 586/Phantasm • Edward • Harlan • Double Nelson

We will once again offer bottles of Double Barrel Aaron, our barleywine-style ale aged in Bourbon and Cognac barrels, allocating bottles each retail day at 8 a.m. for online ordering (same-day pick-up only) at toasttab.com/hillfarmstead/. Also, we’ll debut Excursions in cans, this time showcasing HBC 586 hops and Phantasm Thiol Powder. Alongside those, we’ll have freshly packaged cans and draft of Harlan and Double Nelson.

Stay tuned for updates and information on our festival and ticketing early this coming week, too!

Excursions: HBC 586/Phantasm

Over the course of the last decade, many of our favorite hop varieties were once unnamed entries in an experimental hop breeding project. Excursions is a compilation of India Pale Ales and Pale Ales that explores new hop varieties, flavor profiles, and combinations within that context. This entry features the experimental hop HBC 586 and Phantasm Thiol Powder. Developed by the Hop Breeding Co. (a joint venture between John I. Haas and Yakima Chief Ranches), HBC 586 is perhaps our favorite varietal in the last decade. Phantasm is made from Marlborough New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc grape skins; rich in Thiol precursors, it enhances and bolsters strong tropical fruit aromas during the fermentation process.

Cans and Growlers:

• Edward – Pale Ale
• Harlan – IPA with Columbus, Simcoe®, and Nelson Sauvin
• Double Nelson – Double IPA brewed exclusively with personally selected Nelson Sauvin hops from Freestyle Hops
• Mary – German-style Pilsner brewed with organic malted barley.
