    We are staying in Williston, and headed to Waterbury for a pub crawl Saturday night. What are our transportation options to avoid driving?

    You could take a bus from Williston's Walmart to Burlington Church Street Marketplace, then take a bus from there to Waterbury. You'd need to time it perfectly since those connections only run a couple times a day. Otherwise, your only hope is a taxi. You should also keep the number for the taxi company to get back to Williston since you won't be able to flag down a cab on the street in downtown Waterbury.

    Since Williston is right next to the airport, check these guys out:

    Never used them, so I am not sure how over priced they are.

    You could try UBER

    Nope. Uber is only available in certain cities. And none of them are in Vermont.

    $50 sure beats the alternative.....

    Are you staying at a hotel in Williston? Have you tried asking them about shuttle service? They probably don't do it, but it doesn't hurt to ask and might be cheaper than alternatives.

    Some enterprising Vermonter should start a cab company dedicated to beer travelers in the Waterbury area.

    Prohibition Pig did it at least twice. Special bus down to one of their brewery-centric celebrations on weekends. I would love to get down there once their brewery is complete.

    Have you considered superpowers? Either teleportation or flight would do you just fine.

    And the final answer is...my buddy took one for the team. He drove, and ordered half pours at Pro Pig, while I savored full pours of Sip of Sunshine, Abner, and Everett (next door at Reservoir).
