Hill Farmstead Brewery
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.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
