Boston to Burlington

We ended up in Poughkeepsie Friday night. Checked the weather for Sunday and ruled golf out, so altered the approach into Burlington. Saturday went up NY past Albany and across to Killington to hit Foley. Out of the way, but Saturday was gorgeous, the snow was melting so the creeks were running, and we didn't have a set time we had to be anywhere. If you haven't been to Foley, it's worth picking up on the shelves for sure. Left there and meandered thru the National Forest to Pro Pig. Had stuff from RAR to drop to them, and the vibe was perfect. Very chill, great food, solid beers. Walked across the street and picked up Frost, Lawson's, and Upper Pass beers. Then headed to Stowe for Alchemist. Amazing location. Turn back around, wave at the Ben and Jerry's (it was raining and had a beer or two in us so didn't want it fighting with ice cream...) and hit Burlington Beer Co. Then south to Shelburne and Fiddlehead.

Sunday, on the way out stopped at McGillicuddy's for some Susan and Edward from Hill Farmstead. And then hit Tree House on the way back Wednesday afternoon. Fresh Haze and Green! Very chill trip and a good experience at each one.

 

Nailed it!!!

 

And I will just add, Foam would have been in there, but they were having an anniversary party. First really nice day...there was no chance we were going close to it Saturday. (And actually, we never hit Burlington proper Saturday and still managed all that!!!!!)

 

Maglianero brews Counter Culture and is best in town. I've heard good things about Onyx Tonics as well, but haven't had a chance to try.
