(17,821 posts)I hope to visit there one day. From what I hear, just checking out the local breweries would make an excellent trip.

Tucked away in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont sits a brewery many consider the mecca of craft beer. Shaun Hill, the Founder and Head Brewer at Hill Farmstead, has been on top of the beer world ever since he opened his doors to the brewery more than five years ago. Since then, beer lovers from around the country have made the pilgrimage down the dirt roads of Greensboro Bend, Vermont to get a hold of his beers.

(29,173 posts)My favorite VT story. If memory serves, this happened in Burlington. Some college kids decided to renew the pass time of streaking. Much uproar "Think of the children!!" etc. The mayor answered, "Not to worry; they won't be at it much longer. Autumn's almost here."
Visit during foliage season. The landscapes will knock your socks off - one of nature's masterpieces.

(646 posts)Bernies headquarters across the street. And who was there for for a photo op??
Gov. Dean was hanging with the Bernie crowd. As far as I am concerned, he is not welcome.

(22,271 posts)We're not the Hillary camp with hit lists and vendettas to settle. Dean was the Governor of Vermont, launched his presidential bid from Burlington and has known Bernie for years.

(4,259 posts)And I don't think he goes to a local Bernie headquarters for a 'photo op'!
Maybe the other way around. Dean is much better known than Sanders.
