Being and Time is our first spontaneously fermented beer in January 2011 we brewed this simple wheat based worst, and slowly cooled it, over night, open to the ambient Greensboro air. Fermentation in oak barrels slowly followed, with the presence of nothing more than what our environment dictated after more than 28 months of evolution in the self same barrels, we are proud to release an exceptionally unique representation of our landscape.

Bottle purchased for onsite consumption at Hill Farmstead Brewery in Greensboro Bend, VT. Never publicly released by the brewery.

This one pours a golden orange color, with a very small head, and not much lacing at all.

This smells like funky lime, spicy oak, minerals, light acidic, oak, basement funk, cheese rind, and brine.

This is spectacularly funky, rustic, and bucolic, with a pronounced mineralesque brine character, a definite lime and grapefruit fruity funk, a pleasant oak character, and a bit of white wine. It's such a complex funk on top of a wonderfully vibrant beer.

This is very light bodied, with a surprisingly crisp and clean feel- lending a beer that you should sip slowly as quite drinkable. It goes down too quickly.

This was Hill Farmstead's first spontaneously fermented beer, and it's a funky masterpiece. This is wild ale at it's best.
