My wife is a big skiier so we spend many weekends up in Northern Vermont skiing Burke Mountain. While I’m not much for skiing, I definitely enjoy heading over to Trout River when they’re open which is generally only on Fridays during the winter. When you first walk in, you are underwhelmed by the size of the place. That quickly changes when you see their beer menu. Their beers on draught are generally Rainbow Red, Hopping Mad, Scotch Ale, and several seasonals. Last time I was there, I downed several pints of their Barleywine and their Stout while eating one of their pizzas. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Growlers are available for takeout and they also bottle their Rainbow Red, White Water, Oatmeal Stout and Hopping Mad. I was told that they plan on bottling their Bullpout Stout and Barleywine. It’d be nice to have these two available in a container that would last more than a few weeks. Children are welcome during dinner hours.
