    So I have a driver to leave Bennington at 10am. We have the van for 10 hours. I was thinking Amherst(Moan and Dove),Northampton(Dirty Truth),Lee(Moe's), Lanesboro(Ye Olde Forge) and then home. Am I missing something? Is there a better route? Are there gems I am not aware of?

    Thanks in advance

    Would love to but you open too late. I plan on hitting Amherst around 1:00 and out of there by 2:30.

    There is also the Hangar in Amherst which has a respectable selection of beer on tap.
    Sierra Grille in Northampton
    Stop at Ryan Casey for a road soda.
    Take route 9 on the return and hit McNeill's & Flat Street in Brattleboro.

    Make sure to get wings at the Hangar, obviously. Beer selection is usually pretty good, but i feel like they don't go through much of the craft beer there, so it can be old. That and its usually pretty expensive there.

    I think Ye Olde Forge has the best wings ever, they must be pretty good at the Hangar.
