Hill Farmstead Brewery

Daughter Rachel is a beer aficionado and wanted us to look for a couple special craft IPAs while in Vermont. We found Heady Topper in Richmond, not far from Burlington. The Hill Farmstead Brewery was a little farther afield, near Greensboro Bend. Worth the trip, as they say. But our little RV fridge has been loaded with beer for a couple weeks now! (We turn it over to Rachel tomorrow).

I'm not an IPA fan, but if I were, I'd really like this stuff; can be bought in select
stores and eateries near Burlington

Hill Farmstead is a different matter, available generally only at the brewery;
in the parking lot were cars from all over the northeast and as far away as Ohio
and Virginia; midweek; reminded us a little of Westvleteren and the Abbey of
St. Sixtus...a little

The brewery

This where you go to a) take a number, and then b) buy or c) have your 750ml
bottles or 2 liter growlers filled with the six or so different varieties available;
while waiting, I had a Susan, the closest thing to the super hoppy Abner (which
is not sold by the glass); people who like this sort of thing will find this just the
sort of thing they like; I think Rachel will like it a lot
