    The outlet mall that used to be there is being developed into an adult-oriented destination marketplace. Wine bar, brewpub, indoor/outdoor concert venue, several restos, a CBD store, health food store, 3-D theater, and more. I kinda like the transformation so far, and Black Flannel is a big part of it.

    Alewife and I always stop at Queen City when in Burlington. She's not an IPA fan so this place works just fine. English milds, German Weizens, Rauchs, Helles and Dunkel.... Belgian Tripel... a welcome change of pace!

    Prosit!!

    I really enjoyed stopping there too but it was my wife’s least favorite brewery of the Burlington trip. I also appreciated that they had many traditional beers on tap.

    Their flagship is an English-style porter, and it’s a pretty darn good beer too.

    What’s the place that had the arcade attached to it? I had some good stuff there and mixed drinks in the past

    Finally have some time to post:

    Popped in first to Black Flannel. Awesome food and a nice altbier here! Cool glass.

    A_dog park before dinner at Deep City. As you can see, I'm cautious. Didn't want to injure myself before more beer drinking! Priorities!

    [​IMG]

    Foam (obviously) - Another Trip Around The Sun (forget, either 2018 or 2019 version) - this went down nice after the cautious skate session.

    Lazy pic but Zero Gravity was cool. We walked from downtown Burlington. Was a bit of hike so this....Lady Bird (I think) was great. Awesome bakery called Great Harvest Bakery & Cafe in between downtown and Zero Gravity.
    [​IMG]

    Hill Farmstead: Edward at The Farmhouse for dinner. I'm an idiot. We'd gone to this place about 8-10 years ago already. Completely forgot. I'm getting old. (hey! my glass dirty??? Still chugged it with great vigor)
    [​IMG]

    Seriously? Had great weather for the weekend but woke up on departure morning to this:
    [​IMG]

    Returning home but...PIT STOP!!! I learned they no longer do Montbeerlier. So sad. But one of my all time favorite places. Had a great late night session at Charlie O's back in the day too!

    I think it is popular but I feel like River Roost in White River Junction is underrated. Mas Verde is always so good!

    Crazy this is just a sliver of what New England has to offer in the beer world. And I live about 3 miles from Notch Salem. Thanks again everyone for the thread and all the tips. Every time I leave Vermont I feel like there's a half a dozen more places I want to go.

    Looks like a fun trip @Curmudgeon

    I think we’ll be there in a couple of weeks, so this is all great info.

    Nobody ever seems to give Fiddlehead any love but I will always advise that you grab a pizza next door and enjoy some $5 pints. And now Mastermind is in 16oz cans!

    I can get some various Fiddlehead around where I live but it's funny, the day I left, someone told me to make sure I check out Fiddlehead. I just didn't have time! I haven't had it in a while but I've enjoyed a lot of Second Fiddle. I'll be back!

    I agree. We stopped there for lunch on the way into Burlington when we went. I loved both the food from next door and the beer.

    not quite Burlington, but looking for the best lunch/early-dinner spot on the way to the Notch. bar-food + tap-list, assuming Stowe or Waterbury area, but will take anyplace close off 89.

    Blackback is my favorite place in the world, but I'll throw in a vote for Three Penny which is every bit as good minus a little bit of nostalgia

    I agree with everyone that says Blackback but a little more off the beaten path is Worthy Burger. Always love it there.

    My wife and I stop at Big Fatty's every time we head back from VT to Boston. The food is crazy good (tikka masala spice dusted tenders) and lots of great beers on tap. I killed the Society & Solitude #5 keg on Sunday but they added Double Nelson next up.

    I misread your original message assuming you are driving South on 89 to Notch brewery. Since you're considering Stowe, you can instead go down on VT100 to Waitsfield/Warren. Not to mention visiting Lawson's there are several lunch places around like Mad Taco.
