    I must say overall that looks like a blast. Good planning. As mentioned before, I would definitely add Lost Nation on HF day. Rock Art isn't far from Lost Nation too.

    Skip Oxbow's Portland tasting room and drive up to their Newcastle location. It is way nicer and there are some nice local shops in Damariscotta/Newcastle not far away

    If you are stopping in Littleton NH and are a candy/fudge fan, def check out Chutters. Worlds longest continous candy counter!

    Unfortunately, it doesn't look like getting to Lost Nation Brewing is in our plans. We'll be getting in to HF late on day #3 and heading back to St. Johnsbury so we're in a position to head down Rt. 2 to stop at Cabot Creamery on the way to Waterbury. The timing of everything just makes getting up to Morristown a challenge, and we're reluctant to make any changes to that itinerary. But hey, we need a reason to come back!

    The good news is that it looks like Lost Nation is bringing a bunch of great beers to the Vermont Brewers Festival:

    Gose (4.5% IBU 8)
    A traditional German beer style that was almost extinct 30 years ago. Amazingly refreshing beer brewed with coriander and sea salt. The tart, dry finish combined with a hint of salt and citrus leaves your palate craving another sip.

    Vermont Pilsner (4.8% IBU 20)
    Our golden lager is a crisp, easy drinking beer that has a full, balanced hop finish. An extremely drinkable beer that is perfect for any occasion.

    Rustic (5.4% IBU 40)
    Ruby colored ale that has a pronounced hop character. This smooth ale features a soft malt body that is complimented by American hops and dry hopped with whole flower hops.

    Saison Lamoille (5.9% IBU 15)
    A slightly lower alcohol version of the classic Farmhouse Style. Hazy golden beer with notes of fruit, spice, and funk.

    Petit Ardennes (4.2% IBU 17)
    Belgian inspired session ale. Light bodied blonde beer with notes of spice,herb, and tropical fruit. A very easy drinking beer with a local alcohol content that still has a great flavor

    Pitch (5.4% IBU 15)
    Black ale with a smooth finish

    Lost Galaxy (4.8% IBU 55)
    Wheat IPA dry hopped with Galaxy

    CaskTBD (05.0%)
    Special cask to be announced. ​

    I just hope the gose, saison, pitch and cask are still around for the last session on Saturday night!

    Add Austin Street Brewing for Day 2. It is literally in the same building as Foundation and Bissell.

    Unfortunately, the tasting room is only open on Fridays and Saturdays.
