Once Upon a Time in Denmark… Southward

This edition of Southward is comprised of imperial stout aged in Rum and Bourbon barrels for nearly two years. Following its integration, the blend was conditioned with a range of additions: organic Papua New Guinea vanilla beans; fresh cacao nibs sourced and processed by Mateo at Prophecy Chocolate in nearby Morrisville, Vt.; and certified organic roasted pecans, sourced by Tierra Farm.

Conceived by Ryan Witter-Merithew to mark his migration from Vermont to North Carolina in 2017, Southward was originally a nod to his time in Vermont and transition to warmer climes. Following 7 years away, Ryan returned north to Hill Farmstead in 2024, and the beer now represents a multi-layered chapter in his journey, both south and back again.

Taproom selections for the coming week will include Flora (2018 Vintage) and Biere de Norma (2016 Vintage). 

Please note: Summer hours begin this coming week. Our retail shop and full taproom service will open until 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and until 4 p.m. on Sunday.
