All close to where I live. Schilling is close to where your headed, so I figured I'd mention it. It's one of my favorite to stop at if I'm headed up to northern NH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 4 hours ago, MacChump said: what are some must not miss breweries near the the North East Kingdom area of Vermont? I will almost certainly hit treehouse on the way up, and hill farmstead is at the top of my list, but wouldn't mind swinging through one more brewery if it has a curbside pickup thing going...was looking at river roost and red barn but figured some of you locals may have some suggestions...stowe and burlington are sort of out of the way and i can get alchemist and ten bends and lots of others down here so i probably won't head in that direction... I love that you can get Ten Bends down there. I know the guys that started that real well... one was an accountant at a hotel I worked at at the time and he always had the dream of brewing beer. They started in his garage and the place they brew in Morrisville is still pretty small. Love good success stories like that where now you know the product down there.

A nice young man who grew up in our neighborhood now works at Schillings. It is an impressive operation. Coincidentally have gone to their Traverse City location many, many times when stayed there for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The popular one locally from Ten Bends is Cream Puff War... that seems to be taking off and they are dangerous... go down really easily for the alcohol content, ha. If you see it I'd recommend it.

The vibe is low key, so much different than Stowe. If you were in to gin and vodka, I’d tell you to make a trip to Montpelier for Caledonia Spirits. They make Barr Hill Gin and Vodka. Pretty good and they just built a new distillery. https://caledoniaspirits.com 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 19 hours ago, MacChump said: yeah, our plan is to go to a cabin in east burke and just hike for a few days with as little contact with anyone as possible...any other time i would take a day and visit all of these breweries, but since i only want to do a curbside pickup type deal its probably not worth taking a day to drive down to burlington...thanks, though, those are on my next time list If you go I-91 stop at Brattleboro Co-op, they have a beast selection of VT beers. Brick and Feather in Turners Falls is awesome. Peoples Pint in Greenfield (I work at their brewery) but only open for pick up Wednesday to Saturday right now, probably same for brick and feather.

Yeah I looked at brick and feather. Looks great but doesn’t fit my schedule, people’s pint doesn’t either, unfortunately. That co-op looks like a good alternative to a brewery. May look into that more. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdxken Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Scores of academics call for ‘human challenge’ trials of coronavirus vaccine In a human challenge trial, a small number of people would get the vaccine and then be intentionally infected with the virus to see if the vaccine works. In a normal clinical trial, thousands of people get the vaccine and researchers wait to see if the vaccine protects them as they go about their daily lives. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/07/16/nation/scores-academics-call-human-challenge-trials-coronavirus-vaccine/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Was pretty sure one of our cats was a goner. Was taking a nap and heard a noise outside window. Sounded almost like a dove bird but louder and with a growl. Looked outside the window and there was a fox rolling in the grass. I had let all three cats out earlier, but brought them all in except one. Was certain the fox was eating the cat. I scared it off and went out to call the cat in. She sauntered around the corner like she wasn't scared, but she was less then 20' away from where the fox was. Almost seems like the fox was playing,.knowing cat was there. Oh well, got cat back inside. We've seen this fox on occasion, but this is the closest to the house we've seen it. Wife not impressed 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montpelier itself is a bit of a low spot. I think MPV is about 400-500ft higher. Underhill is very snowy but it’s pretty sleepy. I don’t get the idea you want that vibe where everything closes early and you can’t walk anywhere. It’s really a bedroom community for Burlington... but it does get a lot of snow. The CoCoRAHS site’s there are real snowy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven’t caught ours on camera and it bugs me, ha. He takes off into the woods pretty fast. Acts like a 2-4 year old adolescent male with a tough of spaz. Really curious about everything but doesn’t like to be seen, likes hiding in the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
