North. Really every meaningful brewery in VT is north of Rt 4. There are quite a few small breweries with good reputations in the Mass Berkshires though and perhaps across the border in NY. At least you get legalized public nudity in Bennington, that has to account for something.

In shops, if you find Frost Beer works, buy it. You will see 14th Star Tribute and it is decent (the other beers not so much). You might also see Fiddlehead, which is good stuff.

EDIT: Beer Advocate people say to try this place for a bar with good taps. Caramount Tap Room in Bennington

Agree about 14th star. Picked up Tribute and their maple coffee stout when I was up getting my Alchemist haul. stout was very ordinary, Tribute was descent, but would choose firefly, Beer'd, NEBCO stuff over it. We really have some solid brews right here in good ole CT

BUT....Alchemist and Hill Farmstead are both worth a trip to VT

Tribute is very overrated. But if you're in southern VT, it may be the best thing on shelves..aside from Lagunitas or something (probably better honestly). The other beers from them are blah. I don't know why. Shed makes a decent IPA and the Mountain Ale is excellent in the winter.

I was up in that area in June/July, even north of there, and there is practically nothing around except for Von Trapp, which is a very good beer actually,

The Von Trapp stuff is everywhere now, even in MA. They are expanding the brewery as well. Good stuff if you like German styles.

Some friends brought over a 4-pack of the Von Trapp Pilsner this weekend. I guess it's being sold in CT now. Totally agree, great representation of the style. Good summer drinker for me, as that's when I often prefer Pilsners.

Who has been there? Open Saturdays.

I have not but a good friend has several times and has shared several of their beers and ciders with me. They are truly world class imo.
 
Treehouse has Green and Julius cans today. I so want to head over there.

I've been there a few times. Its usually a pretty relaxed environment unless it's an experimentalis release day. They primarily have sours though so keep that in mind but they have a lot of great unique beers. Black Hog is also about 5-10 minutes away.

On a side note I made a trip to Trillium in Canton this past weekend for the Headroom release. It's pricy but Headroom was well worth the drive and it's nice to be able to walk out with over a case of 5 different beers.
 
I'm a tailgate guest tomorrow and found myself driving by NEBCO this afternoon. So I put the two together and decided to pull over and pick up a couple of growlers for the pregame. I went with G-Bot and the new Super Supernaut. And I guess the Coriolis is can only, once in awhile? That was the star of the NEBCO beer dinner I attended a few weeks ago.

Not sure if it has been mentioned - Forest City Brewery in Middletown
My son is very well versed in the craft beer area - visits breweries throughout the country
I bought him two growlers at this new brewery - Remington and Stargazer
His reaction - these are on the Tree House level
Just an FYI
I cant vouch for the quality - I played too much in the booze game when younger and quit 23 years ago - besides if they were around back then, at the cost of these crafts, it would have left me broke!!!!!
 
Went to Southngton Wine & Spirit last night: Only Shipyard on site was the Pumpkin Ale or Blueberry infused in a 4-pack. Neither was appealing. Picked up a 6 pack of G-String Pale Ale by Funky Bow Brewery in Lyman, ME & a 12 pack of Sebago's "Frye's Leap IPA" from Gorham, ME.
Then the wife surprised me with 2 6-packs of KBC IPA that she bought on the way home from work at Trader Joe's in West Hartford.

DRINK TO WIN!

i am leaving work at 330 and picked up a growler of Olde Mecklenburg Copper (local beer from Charlotte)

Have Apple TV set up and ready to rock on the big screen. 5 hours boys

Haven't had Super Supernaut yet...All DIPAs for me tonight. Arriving later than usual so I need to play catch-up.
Bringing a bomber of Trillium Upper Case, 4pK of Coriolis some Sip and some R2R.
Should be enough to prime my vocal chords for kickoff!

An assortment from two of my current favorites, Treehouse and Trillium. LETS GO!

Same here. I got Green and Julius yesterday to go with Fort Point, Congress and Melcher. That ought to cover it...but I'm off to Vermont tomorrow anyway.
 
How are you people rocking Treehouse and Trillium? Jealous.

I have a bunch of All day IPA's in my car (in a cooler) ready to go when I can get tf outta here.

I went to Treehouse yesterday and Trillium 2 weeks ago. No biggie since I live in MA (well TH is a haul). I won't be at the game though.

Love it. Maybe we can finally replace Rolling Rock as the official BY beer. Can't even drink that swill.

I'm up for drinking as much Treehouse as possible, but RR is such a tradition!
