Arthur

Arthur opens with white pepper and a dry white wine snap that builds as you drink. There's a mineral quality underneath, almost like licking slate, and the 6% ABV sits warm in your chest without feeling heavy. Hill Farmstead nails that balance between elegance and substance—it's a saison that rewards a slower pour, not a quaffing beer.

Jolly Pumpkin Bam Bière

Bam Bière hits different: softer entry, with subtle Brett funk that creeps in on the finish rather than announces itself. You get stone fruit and a whisper of vinous tartness, but it never turns sour. At 4.5%, it's a genuine session beer with personality—the kind you can drink three of without fatigue.
