Re: Vermont

Are there any decent bars/shops in or near Smuggler's Notch? Wife, kid and I are booked in at a resort with water slides and stuff for a few days. I plan on driving to Stowe and Waterbury but am wondering if there are any decent bars or shops that are walkable within Smuggler's.

do you mean Aphrodisiaque?
It's probably Aphrodisiaque. IIRC they had to change the name for the Ontario market so people wouldn't think it's actually an aphrodisiac. Social responsibility and all that.

Re: Cask Days 2015

The Vergers de la Colline Cuivre en Fut would be a good choice, I think. So long as the non-beer people don't mind the barrel influence.
