Hill Farmstead Releasing Birth of Tragedy: Coffee Collective Finca Vista Hermosa Natural and Alaka

From Hill Farmstead:

One hundred and seventy-five (175!) years ago, on October 15, 1844, Friedrich Nietzsche was born in Röcken, Germany. Much more than merely the progenitor of many of our inspirational beer titles, Nietzsche’s prolific writing and contribution to the canon of Western thought is arguably unparalleled.
One could spend a lifetime dissecting the measures of his influence and insight into our existence. Nietzsche’s relevancy almost two centuries later should serve as a reminder that human beings, the frequently unyielding ego, the architecture of power structures and the inevitable assembly of ‘truth’ (among myriad other perennial insights), are virtually timeless in the inescapable presence of their illusion.
Please, consider substituting a few minutes of passive Instagram swiping and seek out and engage with a passage from Nietzsche this weekend! “… all life rests on appearance, art, illusion, optics, the need for perspective and for error…” To honor this occasion, we will offer a new variation of our imperial and barrel-aged porter, Birth of Tragedy, ‪beginning on Wednesday, 16 October‬. This version of Birth of Tragedy features coffee sourced and roasted by The Coffee Collective @coffeecollectif in Copenhagen, Denmark.
After aging for more than 28 months in bourbon barrels, we conditioned this rich imperial porter atop organic vanilla beans, as well as a blend of coffee beans including Finca Vista Hermosa Natural from Huehuetenango, Guatemala, and Alaka from the Guji region of Ethiopia.
After months of bottle conditioning, and in honor of a certain someone’s 175th birthday, the beer is ready for release.
Please visit our retail page for limits and to-go pricing information (credit card and matching ID required for this bottle). We will also have freshly packaged cans of Mosaic® Single Hop IPA and Double Galaxy—as well as a selection of other cans and bottles.
Our onsite food truck this coming week will be Caja Madera @caja_madera.
As always, visit our retail page for updated information.
