    Today marks the 11th year since Greg has passed.
    I would like to raise a Wee Heavy toast to this pioneer in craft brewing.
    From getting laws changed to allow small breweries, brewpubs, to operate, and mentoring
    many of the current regional brewers that descend from that pioneering work.
    Books written, brew pub still rocking, these efforts should not be forgotten.
    A toast of a Wee Heavy, or a New England IPA are in order
    I choose a Wee Heavy from C.H.Evans, who brewed this for a favorite, and now passed friend
    Cheers to Greg
    Do good
    Be well

    Richie Stolarz, another great pioneer. There should be a beer Hall of Fame.

    Drank so many Bombay IPA’s at the pub during undergrad at UVM (class of ‘02). Thank you Greg.

    Wow, how time flies....

    RIP to a pioneer and legend.

    Loved Smuttynose Noonan Black IPA when it was available.
