Plum: 2024 Harvest • Dorothy: Table • Of First & Last Things • Society & Solitude #11

This week, we will present two new bottled offerings and two freshly packaged cans in our retail shop, as well as a curated draft and bottle selection in our taproom for guests to enjoy.

Plum: 2024 Harvest

From time to time, we select barrels of our Farmstead® ales that exhibit sympathetic characteristics for pairing with local fruit varieties, in this case, organic plums from the 2024 harvest season at Elmore Roots Nursery in nearby Elmore, Vt. This harvest season’s varieties include Alderman, Black Ice, La Crescent, Mt. Royal, Native American, Superior, and Waneta.

Once again, the care and intentionality with which David and his team work with the land translates fully into the fruit’s seasonal expression, especially with these varieties of plums. Regardless of the base beer’s composition or blend, the ideal outcome remains the same: a thoughtful representation of the fruit in season and one of our favorite offerings within this collection.

Dorothy: Table

In Dorothy’s honor, we offer this lower-alcohol (4.5% abv) version of her namesake beer. This hoppy Farmstead® ale is crafted from American malted barley, malted wheat, American hops, our distinctive yeast blend, and water from our well. Dry-hopped, unfiltered, and naturally carbonated, this also spent some time in our puncheons.

Dorothy (1921-1994) was Edward’s sister; Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to her and her 13 siblings.
