Canadian Beer at Vermont Beer Festival
Craft beer hipster before it was cool
I was there, and it was clear that the Quebec breweries, along with the "hot" Vermont ones (Lawson's, Hill F, Alchemist) had BY FAR the longest lines.
That and the fact that the Quebec beers are just so damned exotic and interesting compared to the vast majority of the other beers made them a big hit. Well done to our friends down the highway.

That's an excellent point. Not to mention that focus on IPA/DIPAs. If I lived in VT I would be lining up at the festival to drink Peche or Aphrodite.Bytowner wrote:Well as much as we do, justifiably, talk up Vermont beers, we're really only talking about 3 quality breweries, and one of them isn't exactly churning out brands. If I lived in Vermont I might be excited for new stuff too.
