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. Yes, anyone can … Continue reading I Ain’t Mad at Cha

The day started with lunch at Café Leffe, Place du Grand Sablon, 46, a scenic café on rue de Rollebeek that would become a favorite of the Brew Sherpas.

Belgian Beercation – August 29-30, 2012
Trip to the airport was seamless; we were finally headed to Brussels, Belgium, attending Belgian Beer Weekend Edition 14. We celebrated arrival at Newark by opening one of TheBrewSherpa’s home-brewed black ales. What a great way to start our beercation (or isn’t this a business trip for research purposes?). Being early to the airport provided … Continue reading Belgian Beercation – August 29-30, 2012

The Death Wish Coffee Experiment
At some point in everyone’s life you wake in the morning after a night of a few too many brews and realize that you have been beaten with the liquor-stick. You feel like a few more hours of sleep would do the trick, but you have to be at work in 30 minutes and have … Continue reading The Death Wish Coffee Experiment
Hops out in the Northeast – More Beer Here
“I look forward to meeting you on Saturday”, I said to Steve Miller. A nearly 400 mile roundtrip from Eastern Pennsylvania to Springport, New York, would be well worth the time to meet Cornell University’s Cooperative Extension hops specialist. Not only is Steve deeply committed to reviving the farming production of hops in the Northeast, he also had … Continue reading Hops out in the Northeast – More Beer Here
