Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBeer

Fear and Trembling is Hill Farmstead’s first collaboration – a Baltic Porter brewed with malt that was hand smoked over maple wood by our Danish friend, and former colleague, Anders Kissmeyer. This bottled version was aged in Bourbon barrels. As a student of philosophy and former resident of Copenhagen, it is fitting that our brewer named our first collaboration after Denmark’s great thinker: Søren Kierkegaard. All three contemplated absurdity, faith, and salvation while wandering the shores of the Baltic Sea… “…continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling…” Aged in used Sam Adams Utopias barrels.

An aggressively bitter dry-hopped black IPA with hints of pine and citrus.

Smoked Sour Farmhouse Wheat Beer

In pre-Christian times, the celebration of darkness and light was marked with great halls filled with smoke & mirrors. Guilded goblets brimming with seasonal brews were lifted to lips, speaking a language no longer known. The winter wind finds its way through heavy wood doors.

Our inky, rich, black stout, with an addition of raspberries. GRAVITY: 14.80 Plato YEAST: English Ale HOPS: Columbus MALTS: Pale, Cara, Munich, Roasted Barley, Chocolate

Brewed to commemorate the release of "wilderness" the 3rd full length album from The Features, a local rock and roll band, who happen to be good friends of ours.

Collaboration with our friends at North High Brewing. Dark brown w/ruddy highlights. The aroma is nutty, bread-like with mild cocoa and roasty notes. Full bodied mouthfeel and malty sweet flavor with a very low bitterness. Notice hints of Baker’s chocolate in the flavor with a bit of roasty malt characteristics to help dry out the finish.

Inspired by: Aldus Huxley's Brave New World Grab hold of your sensory knobs and prepare for a titillating adventure into the deceivingly satisfying beer known as stout. Stereoscopic images of rich dark color and thick tan collar; breathe in the aroma of roasted barley & chocolate (no scent organ required), and savor the rich taste that will certainly alight all of the right facial erogenous zones. Our brewers have tasted a variety of grains to be able to select only those that would intensify the characteristics of this style. Our grain bill includes lightly kilned pale malt, Chocolaty Special B, the toffee flavors of light caramel malt, and the classic flavor of roasted barley. A light hop bittering addition will complement the pure bitterness of over 18 pounds of 100% Cacoa. The use of lactose sugar provides a creamy mouthfeel and balancing residual sweetness. A low temperature mash provides for a highly fermentable beer resulting in drinkable 8% ABV stout. To intensify the natural flavors of the malt bill and chocolate we added a touch of Matcha Green Tea powder to the boil and in the fermentor. If you are in the mood for a Feely Effect of a beer, our stout will surely provide a sensory experience not to be missed.
