What to do when in one of the most beautiful places in the US? Drink awesome local beer, that's what. The weekend started with some chilled Long Trail Hibernater, an unfiltered malty Scottish Ale. The 12 pack lasted the three of us until about 3 am for a mini University reunion. The best part was drinking one of these outside on a cold Vermont evening. This inexpensive beer is a fairly impressive %6.00 without tasting very alcoholic. I'd give it a 4/5 for yumminess and the same for value. Go for it, its pretty darn good for an unpretentious, drinkable Vermont Ale.
While out at a local restaurant pub, I also picked up a Zero Gravity Narconaut Black IPA. While overall tasty enough, i'd only give this beer a 3/5 for yumminess. It fell a little flat and one dimensional, although it was malty and had a good amount of bitterness. The aftertaste underwhelmed. I can't rate for cost, since i picked it up for 6 bucks at the pub, which is about normal for the area and local beers (hurray, no LA 9 dollar beers!).
To round out the evening Joe pulled a happy surprise out of his beer fridge, some cold Ale8s, something not normally found out of the Kentucky area. If you can, try one, but remember, its got a ton of caffeine in it.
Enjoy!
