hey I'll be in Bennington this weekend. I haven't been in years and other than Madison brewpub, any good breweries or beer stores in the area?
You have the Man of Kent in Hoosick, NY, Browns Brewing opened a great taproom nearby, Catamount Taproom on County Street is awesome and Ramuntos Pizzeria has a good selection.
Get your beer from the beverage den. Always some quality VT hops there and at super low prices. There's also Northshire Brewery like a couple blocks away but I've never been.
Harvest Brewing just opened up last year. https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/49479/ Taphouse at Catamount Glass https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/48177/?view=ratings Smoker's Den and Discount Beverage Center is decent https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/2966/?view=ratings And this place opened up recently: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/49447/?view=ratings
Madison is pretty mediocre, but Harvest is pretty great. A few of their own beers + some guest taps. Tell Sean the Triumph guys say hello!
