Other Half is primo
Big fan of Burlington Beer Company and Foam. Frost also makes some great brews. So does the Alchemist. Hadn't had a Heady in like a year. then I had it and was like damn this is still a great beer! Focal banger is better though
That is the reason I always come home with a car full of beer from up there!
Its been nice though as BBCo Foleys, and Lawsons regularly is distributing to Central PA now

lawsons has outsourced a lot of their production to a facility in Connecticut, and that tends to be what we see in the tri-state and mid-atlantic

I'm glad they are now more widely available. I used to have to ask "my" beer guy (stock manager) to save some for me when they got shipments in. Now, I can even find their Chinooker'd, which is just awesome.

I was thinking about Jay for the weekend....not sure I can make it all happen. Lets hope the prediction turns out to be bigger or the Jay Cloud grabs hold of it! I agree, driving to Jay mid-storm is not the greatest plan but to get the goods..... Oh and this thread has Beer in it too......! On my way home from K-ton last Saturday, I restocked.....I forgot how much I missed Upper Pass offerings! Anyone had the Granite Roots in NH? Their IPA was very good!

Lil Sip is becoming a favorite of myself and multiple members of my skiing posse.
And if one is up in the area of the Lawson's mothership in Waitsfield, the Ruby Red Grapefruit Double Sunshine is mighty tasty!

ya, that grapefruit beer is nice.
one of my favorite brewers in nyc is threes. their beers tend to get less hyped than other half's, but they make some really beautiful stuff, and they also have amazing spaces. the flagship in gowanus is part bar, part coffee shop, part restaurant, part music venue, part outdoor community space. the greenpoint venue is just a great bar of a bar. the huntington venue is new and i haven't been, but fuck yea to long island getting a decent craft beer spot!
anyway, threes just came out with a double IPA brewed with tangerine, passionfruit, guava, and pineapple, in collaboration with creature comforts brewing, and its excellent. been sipping these since Friday and they are reminiscent of the lawson's grapefruit

that was true before COVID we've been getting some things that are brewed in VT down here as well. not as regular as Sip, Super Sessions though. We have Little Sip now I'm guessing that is brewed in CT Didn't look at the can yet.

The sometimes accurate snow-forecast.com has 6-12 at Jay. Hopefully enough to get the low angle stuff in good shape again. Maybe enough to reopen stuff like Everglade although not sure it would be any good.Tim sounds optimistic...

i'll pretty much consider any powder tree skiing a win after the march we just had.

For people concerned about the drive...it's going to be rain if you're coming from the south/east probably til the late AM on Thursday when it'll switch over to snow and then be done pretty shortly after. Even at Jay on the mountain this will start off as rain before switching over the snow sometime around midnight. The I-91 corridor isn't going to get squat til you're within spitting distance of the Canadian border.
I'd stay off the Thruway if you're trying to come up Thursday AM, but other than that I doubt you'll see too much of an issue. This is going to be VERY elevation dependent.

The regular double I like better than single sip. I have been afraid of the ruby red but may have to try it.Lil Sip is becoming a favorite of myself and multiple members of my skiing posse.
