    For future trips, 9 would be fine ... That's beyond the age of worrying about them falling out of a high back seat! Too bad they are closed when you will be there.

    I recognize Columbus Day is the unofficial end to peeping season, but surprises me that they closed so early in October for the renovations (obviously maybe they had to).

    How familiar are you with Mehuron? It is not your regular store, it is a store across the street from Lawson's with a dedicated fridge full of their offerings, including all specials they offer on-site. I'm sure they are not getting their supply from the distribution chain, but rather from the brewery itself.

    Serious question, did Methuen’s have double and triple sunshine? We sometime stop there after skiing but I really have not payed much attention to the beer election since we are usually hitting the Lawsons drive through.

    I think they did, but I'm 100% sure since I wasn't looking for them and it was last December. They did have Big Hoppy and Barrel-Aged Fayston Maple, which was surprising considering the exclusivity of the release.

    Big hoppy and BA Fayston went out to most accounts/ stores in Vt. I’ve noticed the monthly beer news is not always accurate, especially in the winter or slower months, Lawson sends some “brewery” only stuff out to Vermont accounts
