Aaron

Aaron A. Hill (1785 – 1869) was Edward’s great-grandfather, and his name graces our barleywine-style ale. This iteration rested for over two years in Bourbon barrels from our favorite distillery, then rested again for more than a year in the bottle prior to release.

His story and ties to this land are remarkable. Grandson of Greensboro settler Peleg Sr., Aaron built and operated a sawmill and a gristmill on Sawmill Brook, as well as a leather business. He and Susan, his wife, operated the original tavern in North Greensboro, and with his sons, built many of the neighboring homes. The Hill Farmstead Brewery logo is based upon that tavern’s original sign, which still exists today as part of the Hill Family historical collection. 

Taproom selections for the coming week will include Ann (2017 Vintage) and Clover (2020 Vintage).
