    I am definitely picking-up what you're puttin' down, but I am wishing I was heading over into Michigan next weekend and hitting up The 4 Elf Party; sounds like a blast!

    I have yet to do it, and I would like to go to Rochester to see the Bulldogs play the Americans one of these days. According to my brother, Beers of the World in Rochester NY is the place to go.

    Thats fair. They do get some interesting distro up there.
    But the drive from any border crossing to something substantial in VT is a headache. I've done it a couple times.
    Whereas I can go 10 minutes into MI and get all the state and its distro has to offer pretty easily.
    Or go south for a shade under an hour and hit Toledo and the Ohio market.

    The brewery events this time of year trump all of VT.
    4Elf, Kuhnhenn Solstice, HopCat Detroit opening (120 different Short's taps), Grand Rapids BC anniversary party, Greenbush christmas party.... then there are the bottle releases.

    Sure, VT has a few great breweries.... but c'mon. ANY day of the week?

    The IGA in Potsdam, NY is pretty decent. I go to soccer games at St. Lawrence in Canton, NY once and a while and it's always a quality stop off. Apparently Canton has a brewery now too, but I've yet to check it out.

    Winooski Bev is a quality bet in Vermont and I've been a few times.

    I meet my sister a few times a year in either Vermont or Maine, so I get the benefits of a New England haul on those occasions.

    Always nice to see family, better to bring back excellent beer :wink:
