Will make it as far as Brattleboro Friday night with the long drive if anyone is also nearby and wants to meet up at hermit thrush. Would also appreciate any dinner recommendation in Brattleboro.

For a very good meal, TJ Buckley's.

If you're looking for something more casual, Whetstone Station would be a good spot
I also highly recommend TJ Buckley's, however getting a reservation so close might be impossible, and they're expensive (and possibly cash only? I forget).

Whetstone has solid food, and usually has a good tap list including HF sometimes. Their roof deck overlooking the river is cool, but for some reason has a different (worse) menu than downstairs.

Panda North or Taste of Thai (next to Hermit Thrush) are surprisingly good, however the former has a bad beer selection, and I believe the latter is dry. Also the state of VT doesn't allow BYOB, which sucks.

The Brattleboro Food CoOp has a nice beer selection if you're looking for stuff to go.

Enjoy Brattleboro! Watch out for the hippies and heroin junkies!
 
American Airlines almost messed up our plans by canceling my buddy's girlfriend's flight -and- not letting her drive to Charlotte to make her connecting flight, then being compete dicks about rebooking her. But she finally made it to LaGuardia and was able to fly standby to Logan at 6am.

TL;DR we are on I-93 towards New Hampshire, see you guys around open at Hill!

Was in Brattleboro last Sunday. Whetstone is great, usually have 3-4 HF and some of their own brews are decent. Hermit Thrush only had 3 options for to go cans but had more on tap.
 
Feels like someone stuck a Pringles can up my ass, that's how heavy the butt hurt is right now by missing out on this. Is it weird that I would rather be drinking with a bunch of strangers on a farm in the middle of Vermont than basically anywhere else in the world right now?

Drinking at work isn't so bad :)
 
To cope with not going to FoFA, I drank a PoS vert last night

Whetstone Station. Good draft list and food. Was there last night. S&S #5 & Karma Emulsion both on draft.
 
Thanks for all the recommendations in Brattleboro. You guys are great. Also any good recommendations for where to grab Lawson's on that stretch of 91 from Springfield North in MA? I'll check the coop in Brattleboro but guessing they're or based on the delivery route.

Table and Vine in West Springfield directly off 91. They get their Lawson's delivery on Friday's, but it's not every week. Good luck!

I was last there in June and the Coop had multiple cases left in the cooler on Sunday when I was headed back to Boston. Not sure if they got their delivery on a different day than advertised (every other Monday, according to Lawson's website), or if people simply don't think to go to the coop for their beer. So maybe you'll get lucky!
 
Oh man. Okay, so I'm going to assume that whoever's vehicle is fully engulfed in flames at stagecoach is going tomorrow. If you are on here or are staying there and have spoken to them, free shuttle to/from. Just reach out to me.

For anyone in Waterbury right now, CBC just got a massive delivery from Jackie O's & American Solera! Plus they have a few Tilquins left. So get some...
 
I just wanted to shoutout to AutumnBeerLove and the staff at hill. From in line can sales to putting up with the massive amount of people in all lines was top notch. Patience and courteous service for sure. I had an amazing time and am looking forward to tomorrow.

It was busy as **** today and yet it seemed to just feel perfect. Clover and WoL SARA were amazing.
