Hill Farmstead Brewery was established in 2010 by Shaun Hill in Greensboro Bend, Vermont, United States.[1] It is located in the "Northeast Kingdom" of Vermont, about seventy miles from the state's largest city of Burlington.[2]
History
Brewery founder Shaun Hill learned to make beer for a science fair project while in high school, and then started a home-brew club in college.[3] His first commercial experience was at The Shed in Vermont. Hill then went on to brew in Denmark at Fanø Bryghus and Nørrebro Bryghus, before returning to the US to launch his own brewery.[4]
Awards
Since opening, the brewery has received widespread acclaim for its beers across a range of styles, most notably American Pale Ale, IPA, Porter and Saison. In 2011, Hill Farmstead was awarded the title of 'Best New Brewery in the World' by consumer review website RateBeer.com. In 2012, 2014 and 2015, the RateBeer community named Hill Farmstead the 'Best Brewery in the World' (it finished second in 2013).[5] Consequently, the brewery also earned the 2015 'Best Brewery in Vermont' and 'Best Brewery in the United States' titles.[6]
