Everything should be smooth sailing at this point.

I sent a request to access the bottle share sheet. How exactly does the share work?

I’m hoping to attend, so if anyone needs a tour guide or anything, just let me know and I’ll see if I can help. There’ll be a few new breweries opened by the event, so if anyone wants to check those out, just let me know. You might be able to get the first RateBeer review for those new breweries/beer.

I’m not sure what you did, but you don’t appear to be be on the list. I’ve responded through BM.

Which new breweries were you referring to? I’ll be arriving in Montpelier and stopping in the Capitol City Farmers Market and may get a burger at Worthy, but besides that I don’t really have a lot planned other than to go to the event a little later in Waterbury, of course.

Lost Nation in Morrisville, Burlington Beer Company in Williston, Infinity Brewing in South Burlington, 4 Quarters Brewery in Winooski, Queen City Brewery in Burlington (might not be open yet), etc.

Burlington Beer Co and Infinity Brewing both opened last week/weekend. BBC doesn’t have full equipment working yet, so Joe’s just doing samples from his pilot equipment.

Update on the 4 newest ones at http://www.vtbeer.org/2014/02/20/updates-burlington-area-brewery-openings/

Thanks, responded via BM

The brewery mentioned I’m probably the most interested in visitng is Lost Nation: all of their beers have been dangerously drinkable and very light and refreshing, and everyone speaks highly of the brewers there. It’s only 40-45 minutes from Montpelier, so it’s a possibility, but I’m arriving extremely early in the morning in the capitol and having lunch around town. I’m all for having a few beers there, but we may not have a lot of time before the event in Waterbury. I’ll BM you in a bit on my schedule.

So apparently I waited too long to book a hotel. Everything at the Best Western is booked. If anyone has a double bed and would be interested in splitting the cost of a room Sat night please let me know. If not, see you all next time around

Check the hotels in Williston and South Burlington. There’s a bunch there and they are only ~30 mins drive away.

Thanks, but I don’t want to risk drinking all day and getting into a car

You’re smart. I have a 6AM departure out of BOS on Sunday. So I’m going to leave the best western around midnight, drop off a friend and then get on a flight to SFO.

Did you check for rooms at the Stagecoach?
