This coming week, we will release a new emergence of Clover—an exceptional offering quite close to my heart.⁣⁣ When I began my time here over a decade ago, I had a constant compatriot in the old office: a charming, utterly self-assured cat named Clover. She was independent, playful, occasionally subdued, and reflective. Clover was our companion, our guardian of grain, our huntress, and our muse. We did not own Clover; she graced our presence, and we were glad for it.⁣

⁣In her honor, we mindfully blended our favorite barrels of Ann, Art, and Flora, each of which had been aged for between 16 and 27 months—guided by her lingering spirit towards a beer of elegance, grace, and patience.⁣ As our Clover often would, this beer took its own path and its own time to become what it is now: an effervescent, refined reflection of both our melancholy for her departure and, most importantly, our joy in traveling with her for a while.⁣

Cheers!

Bob

Also this week, we’ll bolster our can coolers and draft lines with freshly packaged Harlan, Three Magic Letters, and Double Nelson, all of which join Difference & Repetition: Hallertau Blanc/Simcoe®, Song of Winter, Susan, Of First & Last Things, Excursions: HBC 586/Phantasm, Double Motueka, George, Twilight of the Idols, and Marie.

Making its debut will be a puncheon expression of Anna, our honey Farmstead® ale, as well as freshly packaged cans and draft of Difference & Repetition: Hallertau Blanc/Simcoe® and Song of Winter, after a long hiatus for each.

We will also have cans of Susan, Of First & Last Things, Excursions: HBC 586/Phantasm, Double Motueka, George, Twilight of the Idols, and Marie.

To honor Edward's sister, this version of our honey Farmstead® ale—crafted from organic American malted barley, European and American hops, Vermont wildflower honey, and our distinctive farmhouse yeast—aged for ten months in our puncheons—more than Anna, not quite Ann, but enchanting all the same. After patiently observing its arc of development over the last 5 years, we present you with a distinct expression of Anna that was packaged on December 5, 2018.

𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿
With the spirit of the North and our own deeply founded habitation, we offer to you this Song of Winter: a rich Chocolate Stout brewed with an abundant addition of fresh cacao nibs sourced and roasted by Colombia’s Tibito Chocolate and imported by Maine’s In situ Food Co. In Situ’s ideology and vision stand apart from the typical Western Economic Ethos: shifting from a model of extraction of raw resources to one of adding value within countries of origin, empowering communities to build wealth, and protecting their environment.

Our bottle shop will also feature Anna, Arthur, Arthur: Cascade, Charlie, Clara, Florence, Table Dorothy, Nonconformist 09, Self-Reliance: Motueka, Wheat Blanc, and Once Upon a Time in Denmark: Breakfast Stout and Southward, available individually.

12/5 Update 2: Our Pennsylvania-only DtC sale has SOLD OUT. Thank you all for the overwhelming interest and support!

12/5 UPDATE!!! ONLY for Pennsylvania Customers,

REPRISE Sale will occur on Tuesday, December 5th at 12pm.

In order to circumvent the ShipCompliant PA compliance errors that keep occuring at checkout - we have to select a mixed 6-bottle shipper of predetermined beers that have not been sent to PA this year. While you may not have the ability to choose the specific bottles that you would have chosen during Friday's sale - this is the only way that we can circumvent the existing issue that ShipCompliance is unable to repair.

3 Fonteinen Resonance: A Friendship Blend

In October 2019, I traveled to Lot, Belgium, and joined Michaël and Werner in the cellars of @3fonteinen for a cooperation that would respectfully commemorate the 10th Anniversary of Hill Farmstead and, for me, symbolize a personal landmark of advancing a friendship, creating with and learning from icons that inspired the inseparability of my path and palate.

I spent the entirety of a day studying the cellars, sampling the barrels and Foudres, determining the possibilities, and seeking the emotional response and connection that would guide my palate toward something remarkable and representative of the opportunity. Guided by an unyielding impression of 3F from the early 2000s, I was seeking the distinctive characteristics that I would later realize had guided my best blends at Hill Farmstead.

I cannot capture this sense memory with words—a poet, I am not. Only a poet can approach the boundary of utterance and the ineffable. Several years later, when working on the label for this blend, I happened upon the awareness that taste is a vibration, a frequency, and that this reverberation has been guiding my pursuit for more than two decades.

Armand Debelder and I had a deep reverence for one another—the first time that I blended with his lambic in January 2009, he was clear and simple with his instructions: “No Acetic.” I visited him many times, and he even visited Hill Farmstead in June 2013. I admired his resolve, idealism, and surely the characteristics of his best blends.

It is Resonance—a flavor and frequency—that brings people (in this case, brewers) together. It leads to the interweaving nature of our journeys. It guides people in their pursuits to express the ineffable through a liquid medium. It is the inexplicability of mutual admirations. It is The Intuited Way.

I am honored to have had this opportunity to work with Michaël and Werner. In the coming months, this blend will be unveiled at Hill Farmstead in a series of seated presentations during which I can share the story behind the bottle. Next week, we will debut the beer at Monk’s Café in Philadelphia.

In Gratitude and Reflection,

Shaun

For this post-Thanksgiving week, the 2022 edition of our Raspberry Harvest makes its debut alongside freshly packaged cans of Edward and Susan, and the return of Florence, our wheat Farmstead® ale. Also, on Saturday only, @@pie.empire will join us in the taproom with their delightful savory handheld pies!
Joining Edward and Susan will be cans of Of First & Last Things, Excursions: HBC 586/Phantasm, Double Motueka, George, Twilight of the Idols, and Marie.

For the next in our harvest season selections, we blended a selection of our Farmstead® ales—all of which spent more than a year in oaken rest—for pairing with organic red raspberries from the 2022 harvest season at Adam’s Berry Farm in Charlotte, Vt. This blend and pairing expresses a thoughtful representation of the fruit in season.

Our bottle shop will feature Anna, Arthur, Arthur: Cascade, Charlie, Clara, Florence, Sankt Hans, Table Dorothy, Nonconformist 09, Self-Reliance: Motueka, Wheat Blanc, and Once Upon a Time in Denmark: Breakfast Stout and Southward, available individually.

Our retail shop and taproom are closed today so that our team may spend the day with friends and family; we will be open Friday and Saturday with our regular hours and look forward to seeing many of you.

Once again, we offer our most profound gratitude for another year, your kindness and encouragement, and your support throughout this year. We wish each of you a peaceful and restorative day.

Available for enjoyment by the glass in our taproom is one of our favorite expressions of fruit in season: Plum: 2021 Harvest. We select various barrels of our Farmstead® ales that exhibit sympathetic characteristics for pairing with local fruit varieties, in this case, organic plums from the 2021 harvest season at @elmore.roots in nearby Elmore, Vt. Once again, the care and intentionality with which David and his team work with the land translate fully into the fruit’s seasonal expression each year, especially with these varieties of plums.

Since our return in 2020, one of our non-negotiables—our daily habits and routines we observe each morning as a commitment to ourselves and each other—is our all-staff gathering, where we sit together, hold space, and share energy for the day ahead.

As we mark the beginning of the holiday season, we again offer our resounding gratitude—to guests, friends, family, and colleagues. With the Thanksgiving week ahead, we hope you can share the comfort of one another’s company, consider the grace of gathering with loved ones, and enjoy each moment of conviviality.
Our hours for the upcoming holiday week will be as follows: Weds., 11:30 - 5; Thurs. - Closed; Fri., 11:30 - 5; and Sat., 11:30 - 5.

We’ll have freshly packaged draft and cans of Of First & Last Things, Excursions: HBC 586/Phantasm, Double Motueka. Also available will be George, Twilight of the Idols, and Marie.

Our bottled offerings include Anna, Arthur, Arthur: Cascade, Charlie, Clara, Sankt Hans, Table Dorothy, Nonconformist 09, Self-Reliance: Motueka, Wheat Blanc, and Once Upon a Time in Denmark: Breakfast Stout and Southward, available individually.

Shadows and tall tanks. Admiring the small patterns and details around the brewery, taking pause after productive days to appreciate attention to detail on a multitude of levels.

While we won’t have a new can offering this week, our reimagined Foster returns for growlers and onsite enjoyment, and our can coolers will feature Three Magic Letters, Harlan, James, Double Citra, Society & Solitude #3, and Marie.

This is the ninth entry in our novel exploration of blended beers, aging techniques, and often unexplored ingredient combinations—and it certainly fits nicely into that wide-ranging conceptual framework.

Comprised of Farmstead® ale and a small portion of dark lager, the composition was aged in wine barrels and then blended with local, organic black currant juice and a small amount of Bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup. Following carefully monitored conditioning time, this beer was bottled and allowed over a year of development and rest. The result: a sublimely unique and delightful representation of local ingredients, juxtaposed styles, and no shortage of whimsy.

As always, the label features the inventive artwork of our creative collaborator and lifelong friend, Alex Peltz of Peltz Creative, who has inspired and supported our journey from the outset.

Other bottled offerings include Anna, Arthur, Arthur: Cascade, Charlie, Clara, Sankt Hans, Table Dorothy, Wheat Blanc, and Once Upon a Time in Denmark…. 3-bottle set, as well as Southward available individually.

Taking pause, reflecting on the moments that make up a day, and appreciating the quiet beauty of our natural surrounds.
