Last night we went to the Vermont Brewers Fest. It was the 17th annual, but my first. It ended up being a great evening and a lot of fun. The Festival features 37 craft brewers from Vermont, New York, New Hampshire, Mass, Maine, DE and to commemorate the 400th Anniversary of the European discovery of Lake Champlain by Samuel de Champlain, breweries from La Belle province, Quebec. This outdoor festival takes place in Burlington Waterfront Park with scenic views of Lake Champlain framed by the Adirondack Mountain Range.
SUNSET AT THE BREWFEST
Last night sold out days in advance, that's 3500 tickets. It was $25 a ticket and you get a tasting glass and 15 drink tickets. Most beers are 1 ticket, those with alcohol content above 8.1% are 2 tickets. A lot of the time I didn't give up a ticket unless they asked :)
My favorite beers were: Harpoon Blackberry Wheat (served with blackberries)
Magic Hat's 2009 Odd Notion (Belgian-style blonde ale)
Saranac Summer Brew (which consists of lager and lemonade)
And of course Switchback
