The Vermontoise

The Vermontoise — Saison in collaboration — Brasserie de Blaugies & Hill Farmstead Brewery

The Vermontoise is the result of an exceptional collaboration between two world-class craft breweries: Brasserie de Blaugies, a historic Belgian brewery from the Hainaut region, and Hill Farmstead Brewery from Vermont (USA), considered by many to be the best brewery in the world. An unfiltered Saison that brings the best of two geographically distant but philosophically close brewing traditions into the glass: craftsmanship, quality of raw materials, respect for style.

A collaboration between the best in the world

Hill Farmstead Brewery, founded by Shaun Hill in Vermont, has been repeatedly voted the best brewery in the world by RateBeer. Brasserie de Blaugies is one of the most respected Belgian brewing families, with a history rooted in the farming tradition of Hainaut. When these two worlds meet, the result is The Vermontoise: a Saison that speaks Belgian but thinks American.

Sensory profile

On the nose, it is fresh and citrusy, with notes of American hops that bring hints of lemon, aromatic herbs, and a slight floral character. On the palate, it is lively, with a substantial bitterness that distinguishes this Saison from sweeter Belgian versions, and a dry and subtly lemony finish that makes it refreshing and drinkable despite its complexity. The spelt adds a slightly creamy texture and an authentic rustic character.

Why choose The Vermontoise

• Unique collaboration — two of the most respected breweries in the world, one Belgian and one American, in a beer you won't find elsewhere
• American hops in a Belgian Saison — a bold stylistic hybrid that brings freshness and bitterness where spicy sweetness usually reigns
• Unfiltered — hazy, alive, with all the character of the yeast and raw materials intact
• Collector's beer — collaborations between breweries of this level are rare events: each bottle is a piece of brewing history

Recommended pairings

Goat cheeses, grilled fish with herbs, summer salads, Belgian-American fusion cuisine, spiced chicken. The bitterness and dryness also make it perfect as a structured aperitif.
