Known for a full range of styles

Hill Farmstead Brewery was founded in 2010 by Shaun Hill on his family's land in Greensboro Bend, Vermont — land the Hill family has farmed continuously since 1791. The Ancestral Series names each beer after a family member: Edward, the first beer brewed at the farm, honours Shaun's grandfather and is an American Pale Ale; Arthur, Susan, and George follow the same tradition. The brewery has remained independently owned since opening. RateBeer named Hill Farmstead Best New Brewery in the World in 2011, and Best Brewery in the World in 2012 and again from 2014 through 2020.

Their signature has to hold across very different styles — which makes the notes that do recur more telling, not less.
