The Vermont Travel Guide

[coldafpipes]

10 minutes away from Three Penny Taproom. Four whole days of fantastic food, beer, and the great outdoors! Will be checking out the hiking locations so thank you for that.

If anyone has any outdoorsy suggestions, I'm open to suggestions. Staying in Montpelier.

Hike then get an intertube and float w/ beers, mad river valley.

Summer is so prime right now it would be hard to find a bad time outside. How many are you traveling with? What adventure level?

Just me and the future fiancé. I'm proposing tomorrow to her. Adventure level is high.

And that float will most likely happen. Can't thank you enough!

Per suggestions in the Hill Farmstead thrrad, I hiked the sterling pond trail between Stowe and Smugglers notch. Short, albeit very vertical hike, with a great pay off at the end. You can continue the trail a little further and explore smugglers notch ski resort which was pretty cool to see in the summer.

Sterling pond is nice. Moss Glen falls is worth a trip too.

Side note: been hearing Stowe resort zip line is fun, but $100+ pp. Ouch.

ha... it was an honest question. Wasn't sure of Vermonters had some sort of Mason Dixon...

Ellipsis threw me off in regards to tone. As per whats south and whats not, It seems to depend on who you ask, as everyone seems to have a different take on that issue up here. Ifrom my experience, to people in southern vt, anything more than an hour or so north of them is considered "northern vt". But if you were to ask someone from the Northeast Kingdom the same question, they'd probably say anything outside of the NEK is southern.

when we meeting for beer?

You tell me!

Localvore coupon for Positive Pie in Barre just went active.

No Mason/Dixon, but Brattleboro is officially Massachuesetts (believe me, I grew up there).

Brand new place halfway between Burlington & Waterbury.

Richmond: Hatchet Tap & Grill, 24 beers on tap, many locals, 4 Hill Farmstead last night. Tasty food, moderately priced

 

[pythonhgr]

Any other idiot going to Hopjam besides me??

 

[youbrewidrink]

On the fence, have other irons in the fire, but would prefer Hop Jam.

 

[Dino1]

Hop Jam was a TON of fun last year.

 

[pythonhgr]

I was hammered last time and don't remember much about the music, just good beer and good food.

 

[syracuse12]

I'm heading up to hop jam.

 

[pythonhgr]

I'm hoping for the best with grabbing some Carton odub and boat if anyone wants to trade up there. Anything Jersey'ish you're looking for let me know.

Backacre returns to HMC in November

Doc Ponds open in Stowe. Menu on point, draft list healthy; HF, Mastermind, focal/heady cans, lost nation, etc....cocktail menu looks great. $7 burger from hen of the wood crew in Stowe? **** yeah.

*bottle list too pricey, but w/ever.

 

[Os]

Officially opened? I think that will be my new go to spot. I know for sure the cocktail menu will be on point

[grandmeaulnes]

Swang by last week and was quite impressed! Got some killer mac and cheese and a fantastic pork chop prepared identically to one I've gotten at Hen before for about 2/3rd the cost. Draft list was looking good, as was the bottle selection, though the pricing on a few of the bottles, particularly Canadian ones were a bit much... Def worth checking out!

 

[yasky]

Which Canadian bottles?

 

[coldafpipes]

Which Canadian bottles?

DDC?
Every bottle is about 3x retail. Backacre is their only bottle that seemingly isn't available in local stores.

Btw:
Thursday @ Farm house tap & grill is jester king tap takeover.
