It’s easy to get bummed with so many beer festivals being cancelled due to the pandemic. But now the Vermont Brewers Association is sponsoring a drive thru option that combines social distancing with serious beer…
Here’s the deal…
On May 22, Vermont’s Governor Phil Scot cancelled all the state’s fairs and festivals due to the coronavirus and social distancing concerns…putting an end to the Vermont Brewers Festival, one of the premier beer festivals in the world, held on the waterfront of Lake Champlain overlooking the Adirondack Mountains, on the third weekend of July.
This would have been 28th anniversary of the legendary beer fest, but the Vermont Brewers Association who sponsor the event, have come with a brilliant alternative…
The Vermont Brewers Association has organized a drive-thru Vermont beer event “encouraging Vermonters to take a drive, explore Vermont and support Vermont brewers by popping the trunk of your car and filling it with VT beer.”
The “Drive Thru ExBEERrience” takes place on June 13 and with much of the nation beginning to enter the real world again, it’s the perfect time for a road trip…
Participating breweries include 14th Star Brewing, St. Albans; Brocklebank Craft Brewing, Tunbridge; Green Empire Brewing, Colchester; Hermit Thrush Brewery, Brattleboro; Idletyme Brewing, Stowe; Lawson’s Finest Liquids, Waitsfield; Trout River Brewing, Springfield; and Zero Gravity Craft Brewing, Burlington.
There’s a narrow window for picking up the beer, 2-4pm Saturday, and that beer needs to be purchased HERE in advance for pickup at the Waterbury Flea Market in Waterbury, Vermont.
Shopping options include a “mystery” four-pack with proceeds to benefit the Vermont Brewers Association, which has seen two major fundraising festivals canceled this year. Its Bear Mountain at Killington Resort Festival planned to take place on March 21st was the first to be cancelled and the Burlington’s Vermont Brewers Festival usually held in July, but the latest to fall.
