Brews and Booze: February 2014

Tuesday, February 4, 2014. When Will Vermont Beer Slow Down? It's been far too long since I've written anything, beer related or otherwise. There are so many great beer bloggers/writers out there, and my peers usually have it covered. I'm looking at you Jim. However, I feel compelled to start a discussion that could just be the elephant in the room for the Vermont #craftbeer scene. When does is end? Making some of the most prestigious beer lists. Lost Nation, Drop-In. Are in planning to open this year!

Brews and Booze: November 2014
http://brewsandbooze.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 7, 2014. You Label Me, Ill Label You(r) Beer. I totally judge a beer by it's label and packaging. Just today I was grabbing lunch at City Market trying to decide what/if any craftbeer would be coming home with me. I realized while browsing the large format section that I had skipped over several beers that are known to me to be excellent based on peer reviews, but I continue to pass them up because I find the labels/artwork/marketing to be weaksauce. I know that we should not "judge a bo...

Brews and Booze: Visiting Vermont Breweries – Hill Farmstead
http://brewsandbooze.blogspot.com/2013/06/visiting-vermont-breweries-hill.html
Monday, June 10, 2013. Visiting Vermont Breweries – Hill Farmstead. Located in Greensboro, VT. Originally posted on 01/10/13 on the now defunct wearevt.com. Looking for something to do this weekend? One of my favorite things to do as a lover of all things craft beer is visit breweries. In Vermont we are lucky to have nearly 30 at last count, according to the Vermont Brewers Association. As the 6th best brewery in the world, and it is in our back yard. If you haven’t tried any of their beer, you...After t...

Thursday, July 17, 2014. 10 Things to Expect at the Vermont Brewers Festival. For the first time in years I've decided to opt out of the Vermont Brewers Festival. I'll be taking my talents to Maine for the Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Tour festival instead and I could not be happier about it. I for one feel good about sharing this with out of towners, I can get most of the great beer here on the regular (although I admit I really want the Four Quarters Brewing Company. Whiskey Sour and the Prohibition Pig.

Thursday, September 11, 2014. Community vs. Competition Beer People are Different. I had a conversation just the other day with someone at work regarding this, and today had the chance to speak to VPR about it. Naturally it seemed like a good time to write about it as well. It's simple really, in a previous post. For whatever reason, brewers and breweries seem to live outside the box of conventional thinking when it comes to marketing and selling beer. Why is that? Make good beer, people will drink it?

Friday, August 17, 2012. Beercationland - Exploring Maine's Craft Beer Scene. Recently my wife and I retreated to the coast of Maine for what I called a "sanity break" but it quickly turned into quite the "Beercation! A couple months ago we hit Portland and visited spots like Gritty's, Sebago, and a couple others but discovered one of the great beer bars of the east, perhaps anywhere. Novare Res Bier Cafe. Earlier in the trip we discovered Boothbay Craft Brewery. Look forward to going back and staying wi...

Monday, June 10, 2013. Get a drink at the Winooski Motor Speedway this Summer. Yep, you read that right. And I'm quite frankly just as surprised as you. However with the addition of The Mule Bar. Has become the hot spot to get a drink, and catch a race. Well, sort of). I wish I could find the guy that made that Winooski Motor Speedway shirt, priceless and he deserves a shout out. Anyone? Thanks Dave and Michelle, the artist is Steve Hadeka and you can purchase the shirts here! Just up the hill the former...

Monday, February 11, 2013. Blizzard and Beers - Boston Edition #EBF. Well that was fun, not at all like I thought it would be, but fun just the same. On Thursday friends and family decided to take Nemo head on (PS dear weather channel.really? Stop naming winter storms please). So we drove on down to Boston in relative calm waiting to see what impact this coming storm would have on us, the Beer Advocate Extreme Beer Fest, and the city of Boston in general. Newbury Street on Saturday. By the way, first tim...
