For $40? That's a tough sell.

Many of the old heavy hitters preferred Mt. Snow over Killington. Stated, better prepared, taller glasses, good music. I believe Mountainman was on this list along with G-Smashed.

Between over 20 Labor Day Weekend Brewfest, almost 10 "Winter" Brewfests (even though most of them have been in late March or early April) and over 15 Oktoberfests, Mount Snow has it down as to what makes a good brewfest!

Last year they even added pouring stations not just in the main base area but also up at the summit as well.

10oz pours, over 80 different beers, and some good live tunes

Wife reported that we have wedding to attend at the Summit. I said great, beer fest followed by a wedding would work. Darn 12:30 startime squashed that grand plan.
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine.

Doria and I decided to pass. Over priced admission, short pours, and then running the state police gauntlet on the Access Road. No thanks. There are some good beers there, but never any great beers. Probably be up though.
