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).

Each spring, generous volunteers make the trek to Hill Road for our dandelion harvest, so that we might brew Vera Mae’s namesake spring blossom Farmstead® ale. This year, we dodged the raindrops for three successful days of picking, including Vera Mae’s very own great-granddaughter, Maryellen.

Today, we brewed the 2026 vintage with those gathered flowers, and in a few weeks, the beer will move to wine barrels to rest and develop in optimistic anticipation of a future appearance. Thank you, once again, to everyone who joined us and made this year’s edition possible.

Each edition spends time in our puncheons and months of carefully observed bottle conditioning.

Hill Farmstead Brewery’s annual Anniversary Week takes place from Wednesday, May 27, to Sunday, May 31. Please see our Anniversary Week post from today for additional details.

The Order of Things 6

This sixth entry in our blended double-barrel aged series was debuted at our Winter Gathering under the moniker Pour #3. It is composed of three elements: A portion of our cherished Imperial Stout, Damon, rested for 18 months in a Port barrel and then spent 16 additional months in a Whiskey barrel from WhistlePig Whiskey; our Viola Sofia Imperial Stout aged for 30 months in a Bourbon barrel; and one barrel of Aaron, our Barleywine-style ale, also aged for 30 months in a Bourbon barrel, then moved to a Whiskey barrel from WhistlePig Whiskey. The curated blend was then conditioned atop organic Madagascar vanilla beans.

Flora: Plum

Flora is the wine barrel-aged version of Florence (1915-1967), Edward’s sister, as well as the name of our wheat Farmstead® ale. On occasion, a portion of Flora is selected to age on a blend of local plum varieties as a means of highlighting the sympathetic natures of beer in barrel and fruit in season. This edition features seven varieties of plums cultivated and harvested at Elmore Roots in nearby Elmore, Vt.

Fear & Trembling

Fear and Trembling is a Baltic-style porter brewed with in-house smoked malt, first brewed with friend and former colleague, Anders Kissmeyer. This version was fermented in the traditional way, with lager yeast, and conditioned in stainless steel.

The 2026 Harvest Festival of Ales and Lagers Update
Saturday, 19 September

We will welcome a number of guest producers for this year’s event:

Cycle Brewing - Longtime friend Doug Dozark has been creating adventurous barrel-aged stouts since 2009 at Peg's Cantina in Gulfport before opening his location in St. Petersburg, Fla., in 2013. Shaun and Ryan first met Doug when they brewed Either/Or at Cigar City in September 2010, and Doug came to Hill Farmstead with his Cigar City teammates to continue the collaboration in brewing both Neither and Nor in 2011. He will be sharing a few of those barrel-aged stouts during the festival.

Hofbräuhaus Traunstein - This historic, family-owned Bavarian brewery is located in Traunstein, Germany. Renowned for its award-winning Helles and wheat beers, it has been operated by the Sailer family since 1896. Shaun first visited here in 2016 and immediately fell in love with their Helles.

Wildbranch Cider - Located in nearby Craftsbury, Cedar Hannan has been composing ciders with heirloom apple varieties blended with wild-foraged apples from Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom since 2020. We have shared those ciders in our taproom since its reopening in 2021.

Additional guest producers will be added in the coming weeks.

Lodging, transportation, and ticket packages are now available directly through three local lodging properties: Highland Lodge in Greensboro, The Wildflower Inn in East Burke, and Old Stagecoach Inn in Waterbury.

General admission tickets go on sale at noon EST, 21 May 2025.
