We started the day with a tour at Ben & Jerry's. Let me tell you, the mint chocolate chip sample was fantastic. We then did a little shopping in Waterbury, and stopped at The Alchemist, a great little brewery. Their brew pub was devastated by Hurricane Irene, so that wasn't open, and won't be for a few months as they rebuild. However, we stopped in for a sample and some swag of their Heady Topper IPA. YUMMY!! Bringing home eight cans.
We drove to another dairy farm (goat) and it's just not in the cards for us. We got there, and it is like you need to go up to their door and knock. Not our style, so we left.
We then went to Rock Art Brewery in Morrisville. And um...Morrisville stinks. It was like every farm field had just had a dose of liquid manure put on it. It's like it got in my mouth and I could taste it. It wasn't pleasant. But the beer was good at the brewery.
We then headed to Montpelior, which is the cutest little city. See us with the State House in the background.
We came back to Burlington, had a drink and an app at The Vermont Pub and Brewery (and frankly, it sucked), and then had dinner at The Farm House again. Pate, cheese, meatloaf...I'm still full and that was three hours ago. GH - we need a serious workout boost when we are back.
We'll be getting up at 4:00 am to get ready and leave in time to catch our flight in Boston at 11:25.
We really loved Vermont!! I highly recommend it. Ta ta for now, until our next adventure!
