Field of Dreams
If you build it, (they) will come. There is no greater proof of this message than in the fields of Greensboro, Vermont. Nearly one mile up a dirt road, sits an old farmhouse and a nondescript barn. Lush green fields surround the area, and the grass sways pensively in light breeze on this hot June … Continue reading Field of Dreams
I Ain’t Mad at Cha
Ok, I admit I had a less than attractive mental image of what a “mad taco” might infer… On a very recent beercation to Vermont, with the goal of visiting Hill Farmstead (http://www.hillfarmstead.com/), The Alchemist (http://www.alchemistbeer.com/), and finding some of Lawson’s Finest Liquids (http://www.lawsonsfinest.com/), thebrewsherpa and I ended up in Warren, Vermont.

Fifty Fifty Beer Dinner at Kitchen Door
While the Brew Sherpa and Sherpette were traveling the globe in search of adventure and zymurgical enlightenment, the Brew Sirdar sought out some beery delights much closer to home.

Being early to the airport provided … Continue reading Belgian Beercation – August 29-30, 2012
