Wrapping up a work trip to Burlington, VT. It's a beautiful place and the town is pretty neat. Here are a few of the highlight beers. If I lived up here I think I would constantly have a lager from Von Trapp around. This one was stellar from them.



The rice lager was great, and I probably don't need to talk up the Heady.

Staying at the Lodge at Grist Iron Brewery tonight, Burdett NY. This is my "free" beer that came with our room. It's called Lake Life IPA and it's good. That's Seneca Lake in the background.


Had to add this: Hoppiness Amplified, bourbon barrel aged double ipa. They call it a double but at 12% plus??? It's amazing anyway.

Buddy of mine told me about this place, sort of on the way back home from FTIG. Falling Branch Brewey about 40 miles north of Baltimore. On an old farm, and the tap room is an old Amish barn. Great setting, and really good beer. Couldn't try more than 2, since it's still a 2 hour drive home from here!

Both beers are delicious. It is in the middle of nowhere, though. Actually, I think I passed the middle of nowhere about 30 minutes before and just kept going.
