Two Vermont craft brewers among Top 50 in US

That's a list that's based on quantity, not quality.

Great Northern might be the most quantity trail on the hill right now, but doubtful it's the best skiing.

God no... yuengling is terrible even by macro standards

Interesting taste. Found at my local store in Danvers. Its a California IPA. Just not sure if it belongs here, or in Politics.....

So they are going to keep running the bar but not brew beer in Bridgewater?

Where are the snacks?

Really good batch of Four Quarters Spectra out now. Canned on July 27.

Foam "She Doesn't Need U" is pretty good. I passed on P'op Crimes', a 10% triple IPA. That thing is a nap in a can.

Von Trapp came out with a Kolsh.

Four Quarters is doing some great brewing.

LOL Nap in a can, I call that a party starter!

Was recently in MA and ME. Went to Tree House Charlton and Sandwich, first time tree house visitor. That place in Charlton is unbelievable. The place in sandwich is an amazing place to have beers as well. I don't really love the "drink tickets" and order everything on your phone thing, but I get it. Especially when its busy and I'm told that place gets out of control every weekend.

Hit Bissel Brothers and Maine Brewing as well. Even after a week in Bar Harbor I still brought a 50L and 2-30 L coolers of beer home!

From Foley Bros:

Beer fact Friday: Did you know the term "rule of thumb" originates from brewers who would stick their thumb into the mix to see when the temperature was right for adding the yeast? Don't worry, now there's thermometers.

20 Best Vermont Craft Beers, Ranked

https://www.tastingtable.com/1254770/be ... rs-ranked/

Thoughts?

From another VT beers ranked list, is this:

Founded by three brothers-in-law, Red Clover Ale Co. excels at gentle, subtle hazy IPAs—picking up the baton from Foam Brewers. Moreover, Red Clover’s founders channel their family history in farming to produce fresh, locally inspired beers. The tap list is varied and any visitor will find something that pleases their palate—from a superbly balanced New England IPA to an unfussy Vienna Lager.

Red Clover Ale Co. signifies the latest crop of breweries in Vermont. They’re small, driven by local supporters, and passionate about their craft. They forgo bombast for balance. And, they’re unpretentious in their pursuit of something special. We named Red Clover Ale Co. one of the best new breweries in the US for 2019 and we imagine they’ll remain one of the best craft breweries in Vermont for years to come.

Haven't seen it in stores, might warrant a run to Brandon some rainy day.

happy dads day came with a couple 4pacs of second fiddle
and a few others. what a kid! also for any near here
warwick farms is brewing some kickass good stuff

Have pretty much eliminated drinking beer of late, but did head back to the homeland last weekend. Of course I stopped by Warwick ... picked up their DDH Umbra, which never disappoints. Really impressed with how their facility turned out, shame I am no longer walking distance from their facility.
