Vermont or Burst… (um bust)
This weekend, Amber and I will be headed on a spectacular extravaganza in Vermont. This will be my first trip ever to Vermont and I am pumped that this is the start of the Vermont Brewery passport challenge (Note: Don’t worry, you have a year to fill out the passport.)
Our stop this evening will be in Waterbury, VT 05676. The home of The Alchemist Pub and Brewery.
From their website:The Alchemist is a 7 barrel brew pub specializing in hand-crafted beer and casual pub fare. All of our ales are brewed in our basement brewery, which was designed and installed by our brewer John Kimmich. We use only the finest imported malts and domestic hops available to bring you the tastiest and finest selection of beers in Vermont! In addition to our house-made ales, we have an eclectic menu featuring Vermont products and seasonal produce. Our talented chefs serve delightful appetizers, grilled panini sandwiches, flatbread pizzas, vegetarian fare and hearty entrees. Come in and enjoy a taste of Vermont in our cozy pub surrounded by the work of local artists!
On Saturday, we expect to spend a day in Burlington. Here are some possible breweries:
* American Flatbread – Burlington Hearth/Zero Gravity Brewery*
* Magic Hat Brewing Co.
* Orlio Organic Beer
* Switchback Brewery
* Three Needs
* Vermont Pub & Brewery
So many to choose from…
On Sunday, we hope to drop in on Long Trail in Bridgewater Corners VT 05035 and plan to attend the Harpoon BBQ festival in Windsor, VT 05089.
More to follow next week.
Have a safe weekend.
