New brewery to open in Vt., giving state 26
AP / September 6, 2012
SPRINGFIELD, Vt. (AP) — Another brewery is opening in Vermont.
The Vermont Brewers Association says Grateful Hands Brewing is opening this weekend in Cabot and will specialize in dark beers.
Owner Ricky McLain will pour samples of his beers and sell containers called growlers on Saturday. His initial four offerings include an American brown ale called Time and an American stout called Courage.
Grateful Hands is considered a nano-brewery because of the size of each batch of beer, 20 gallons. The Brewers Association says McLain expects to start off selling growlers from the brewery and at farmer’s markets and eventually start bottling.
The Springfield-based Vermont Brewers Association says it was established in 1995 to promote professional craft brewing in the state. Executive Director Kurt Staudter calls Vermont ‘‘the Disneyland of beer’’ and says the new brewery gives the state 26.end of story marker
We need one of these in Springfield
ReplyDeleteWell Alpin, you finally said something I could agree with, I'll drink to that!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter had to give up the stuff, those people down at the school for behaiorally gifted people said that it was overpowering her kids brains before they were born. I guess they felt that her kids brains didn't need anymore power than they already had. She sticks to donuts now and is just a slim twig of a thing at 245 lbs.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a cheese factory or whatever you call it, and a hard-cider distillery as well?
ReplyDeleteNOSAG would probably contest it on environmental grounds, then again if it was in Springfield rather than North Springfield probably the NIMBY's wouldn't care.
