and honestly I'm happy with any number of beers, but there's no doubt that Shaun Hill has become the darling of the Craft Brewing scene, and in many ways, it's face. I think a lot of it is the romance of his story- making beer on the farm where his ancestors settled 250 years ago, naming beer after his ancestors, making beer in The Northeast Kingdom, his intellectual bent and his thing about not expanding much. I don't think he structured the mystique to be such a big draw, but I'm sure he takes advantage of it.
