Review a Brew: Hill Farmstead Abner and Edward (with a guest review from Audrey)

Like I mentioned in my last post, I plan on spreading all of my Vermont related content over a couple of pieces.  To start us off, let’s talk Hill Farmstead.  The small brewery, located in Greensboro, VT (unfortunately we weren’t able to make it up there) has grown quite the reputation in the craft beer community, and as they don’t distribute out of state, I was on the lookout for their beer from the moment we got to Vermont.  I finally struck gold when we got to the Farmhouse Tap and Grill in Burlington saw that they had their pale ale, Edward and their Double IPA, Abner on tap (named after ancestors of the family, apparently).  We headed to their downstairs bar, grabbed a spot in front of the fireplace, and ordered one of each.

Now, I somehow convinced my girlfriend that taking notes and reviewing beer was way more fun than just cozy-ing up by the fire and drinking it (still not sure how I managed that), so below you’ll find my thoughts on Abner followed by Audrey’s on Edward in an Official Hop Hub Featured Review.  If she asks, that’s totally a big deal.
