Aaron A. Hill (1786-1869) was our great-great-great grandfather who operated the original tavern in North Greensboro- an industrious, inventive and indomitable figure in the community. The Hill Farmstead Brewery logo is based upin the tavern's original sign. In his honor, we crafted this barleywine at the outest of our venture. It has rested, unhurriedly and undisturbed, for over 2 years in bourbon barrels from some of our favorite distilleries, absorbing the essence of its surroundings and history. Bottle conditioned for 5 months.

The perfect barleywine ale. Enjoyed this pour at Hill Farmstead in March 2024. The vintage was 2019, then aged two years in bourbon barrels. Copper colored liquid with the most minimal trace of bubbles around the glass. The nose brings out caramel, bourbon and oak, but the flavor...! Deep, deep flavor. Dark fruits--raisins, figs, dates with a mild woody backbone--I dare you not to close your eyes while sipping. Absolutely brilliant barleywine experience.

Bottle generously shared by Seth. Dark brown pour with a kaki head. Big booze and caramel malt aromas. Big booze, caramel malts, and dark fruit highlights. Wow, this is fantastic. Mild oak and vanilla sub tones. Complex with a great body and mouthfeel. An incredible example of this style.....
