On Wednesday, October 5, we're pleased to release two beers!

First, we are releasing this year's batch of Fear and Trembling.

500ml, $9 per bottle.

Fear and Trembling was Hill Farmstead's first collaboration—a Baltic-style porter originally brewed with malt that was hand-smoked over maple wood by our Danish friend, and former colleague, Anders Kissmeyer. This batch was brewed with malt that was hand-smoked onsite over a blend of native woods, then fermented in the traditional way, with lager yeast, and conditioned in stainless steel. 9% abv

Second, we are releasing Flora with Peaches and Pears.

375ml, $17, 2 bottles per person (credit card and matching ID required, please see our bottle release policy).

Flora is the wine barrel-aged version of Florence (1915-1967), our grandfather's sister as well as the name of our Farmstead wheat ale. A few barrels were selected—a portion of the beer was aged further on Vermont dessert pears, while another portion was aged on ripe northeast peaches. The independent threads were blended, resulting in a complex, delicate and slightly tart Bière de Table—an ale we would proudly have shared with Florence.

[BadJustin]

[Thevicster]

[Mikecap]

Ahhh shittttt. Legit if nothing kicks today this might be the longest bottle list ever. I really might have to go, non-negotiable.

Seems as if the GoM single-barrel variant might be CW only too, but idk. I also think Flora was 3 pp for those cool kids unlike 2 for the rest of us..

 

[Resuin]

Batch 4 is drinking phenomenally.

 

[browntownz]

There you have it. Guess I'll just go to HF for the 3rd week in a row.

I was just reminiscing about Fear and Trembling the other day...**** I CAN'T WAIT!

 

[preluderl]

For those who are more familiar with HF... Any chance those Flora bottles will still be available on Thursday or Friday?

This one? Gonna say yes, given the release policy. The new system seems to work well

Cool. I was going to do Alchemist on Thursday and HF on Friday. Think I'll call an audible now and head up to HF on Thursday to give myself a punchers chance.

Yeah Fear and Trembling is tasty, drank through last year's batch quickly (think it was 4 pp?). Would love to see this barrel aged again. That cab/bourbon blend was unreal.

That's what sick days are for.

love the control/balance F&T has... one of the few smoked beers I enjoy... speaking of which, when is the last time we saw Holger Danske?

 

[tylerk88]

Driving home from HF today and we're not even out of Vermont when my girlfriend says, "HF posted about a Flora release next week. Does that mean we're coming back next Saturday?"

Yes. Yes it does.

I got a growler of Holger Danske in October 2013 when I went up. Not sure if it's been on since then. Twas tasty.

Maybe the only HF beer I've disliked, at least on tap fresh at Parker Pie. Fear and Trembling is nice, though.

 

[supremepie]

Dont recall if I ever posted this anecdote here, but while moving last year I found a 3 or 4 year old holger Danske growler in the back of my fridge that I had purchased with the intent of making beef stew.. Assumed it was gross so I began to drain pour it only to look down halfway through and see it was still carbed! Poured the remainder up and it was still tasting pretty good! Smoke had mellowed a bit but that's about it.
