Yeah, It's out there. Recently, Hill was named best brewery in the world by BeerAdvocate. So, there's that, which is a pretty big deal. The beer is outstanding, generally, 6+ taps for growler fills, $5/ 4 samples, and limited numbers of bottles from Hill, Grassroots collaborations, and various "friend" breweries. Abner, double pale ale was number one on my visit. I had hoped to pick up a few bottles of Twilight of the Idols or Fear and Trembling for aging, but they only had three saisons by bottle. The location is excellent and the beer is stellar, but if you get there at the wrong time (which pretty much means anytime, wed-sat 12-5) you could be looking at a 2 hour plus wait to buy your bottles or fill you growlers. I'm not shitting you. I was there on a non-event/non-bottle release day and although there were only 50 or so people in line before me, they all filled multiple growlers and generally hung out, sampling in the small taproom waiting for their turn to fill up. The staff is great, but in no rush and you kind of get the feeling they know they could be more efficient, but are very aware that people waiting in the rain for hours just to fill a few growlers only adds to the prestige, demand and overall bank of the brewery. Yes, beautiful beer, but goddam, a two hour wait on a weekday afternoon. Bring a book. Cash only.

A very small brewery in the middle of nowhere in Vermont, but one that makes really good beer. Stopped in her as part of a little vacation to Vermont. 7 Dollars will get you 6 samples of the beers they have available. All of them were very good. Almost all their beer is sold in refillable bottles. If you go here make sure you bring a good map or a GPS since it is down a dirt road in an area where it would be very easy to get lost.
