Hello From Vermont!

[ErikHoppy]

Hi All, I am lucky enough to live in the beautiful state of Vermont, just a few short miles from some of the nations best craft breweries! After touring the Magic Hat brewery, and acquiring a love for the lovely Vermont made Woodchuck cider, I decided to get into home brewing.

As it stands now, me and my father are going to try our hands at brewing some interesting ales and ciders over the course of this spring, my last months living at home. Should be some good bonding time, and yield some tasty results!

We have a cream ale, an Irish Car Bomb stout, and some interesting cider recipes floating around in our heads! It just so happens that the family nickname, Hoppy (last name is Hopwood), will be the perfect name for our labels! "Hoppy's Cream Ale", sounds very marketable, don't you think?

Any other Vermonters here?! I'm sure there are.

Welcome Erik! Everything is just a few short miles from everything in VT. Lived in Milton for 8 years prior to relo to CO. Be sure to hit up Trout in Lyndonville and sip a Switchback sometime for me.

Welcome! I'm an ex-Vermonster, and after last week's election I'm thinking about becoming one again!

There's a bunch of us in the area, we kinda refer to ourselves as "Yankee Ingenuity." We like getting together to brew and drink and hang out occassionally.

Hello! There are indeed some fine brews up in Vermont. I schlepped around Burlington a while ago and had a great time. Toured the Magic Hat brewery (great place) and also found a great little beer called "Switchback". Would go back in an instant.

Switchback is the beer of choice at almost every bar in Burlington. Fantastic!

I love switchback. They just came out with a new porter and it is very yummy.
