This is the 2nd of 2 filings we hold from Hill Farmstead Brewery. It is one of 64 barrel-aged stout labels approved in June 2026. It was filed and approved the same day. The label carries barrel-aged, imperial on the front.
A vertical panel divides the label, with the left half in cream displaying marketing text and the right half in black containing the primary design. The word "MADNESS" and "CIVILIZATION" are stacked in large sans-serif capitals in white, separated by an ampersand symbol, with "2025" centred below in smaller type. Above the main text sits a gold art-deco emblem featuring a stylized "K" or similar monogram within a geometric shield. The composition is austere and symmetrical, emphasizing typography and minimal geometric ornament.
From the label“Madness and Civilization represents a panorama of our barrel-aging program: oak-aged beers that emerge from their individual silences to find structure and voice as a unified composition. In honor of our 15th anniversary in 2025, we crafted a blend consisting of our most cherished imperial stout, Damon, aged for two years in Bourbon barrels from our favorite distilleries; two other yet-to-be release imperial stouts, one aged in Bourbon barrel for a year and the other aged in a single tawny Port barrel for a year; and Beyond Good and Evil that had aged in Bourbon for nearly two years. Hill Farmstead Brewery is the culmination of travel and insight, of friendships and explorations, and of realizing a sense of one's place. Upon the hand hewn land of our forebears, we honor eight generations of Greensboro ancestry by thoughtfully engaging with our heritage and with our distinctive beers. This offering is our effort to revive, diversify, and prolong the memory of the Hill Farmstead. Share. Consider. Enjoy...®”
