Ah, Vermont now has a host of nifty microbreweries doing good things. Otter Creek, Trout River (a new one we'll have to sample when you get here in September Turtle.) Tunbridge (I think she's still brewing good stuff) Magic Hat (Not my favorite, but if you like sweeter flavors, they do interesting stuff and the labels are amazing). Alas, I have been scrounging through seven/elevens looking for the last remaining six packs of Catamount Porter, but rumor has it they may be bought, and kept pretty much as-is by Harpoon. Let's all hope so.

Now, we should start the favorites on the other three food groups don'5 you think? Chocolate favorites, garlic favorites, coffee favorites. Food, drink and music are pretty inseperable in my book.
