I am so excited to attend my second Brewfest on the beautiful shores of Lake Champlain! Here are my personal picks for what I want to try most. I’ll be teaming up with other people so that we can use our tickets as effectively as possible and have a little taste of as many beers as we can (although as the day goes on I have a feeling that system might deteriorate somewhat). If you’re going to the festival, have fun and be safe. If you didn’t get a chance to go this year, visit some of the participating breweries in person and show your support that way! Here’s a link to the Festival Guide so you can plan your own day: http://vtbrewfest.com/pdfs/festival_guide.pdf
