Anywhere along this route, either through Vermont or the southern route through Mass where I can score some Hill Farmstead? Bottles/cans would be ideal but I'd settle for stuff on tap. Thanks!
Bottles and cans are realistically only from the brewery. Given your potential fastest route is south down I90 your best bet it to stop at Treehouse in Charlton, just because. Then less than a half hour away is the Armsby Abbey in Worcester, who will have plenty of hill farmstead on tap. Outside of that on your way north from Abbey there isn’t much.
Moe's Tavern in Lee, MA occasionally has some HF on tap. Usually it's just Edward though, which is becoming a lot more available as of late.
This is what I did with a quick pit stop in southern Vermont for some Focal Banger and Heddy Topper. Great stops. Thanks for the recs!
