Mead is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey and water together. This beverage was enjoyed by our ancestors but has been on the rise over the last few years. We are seeing new meadery’s popping up left and right. Groennfell and their close partner Havoc Mead brew a delicious variety of mead ranging from dry traditional styles to some out of the ordinary stuff. What do you have to lose? Come on down and give this ancient classic a taste from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm on Saturday, May 18th!

By now most of us are all very familiar with the New England IPA style that has engulfed the craft beer industry over the last few years. If not that’s completely okay! You’ll have a chance to try these puppies out once and for all. Hopsters specializes in New England IPA’s with both their Newtonian and Comet Citra being a great example of the style. The style is very approachable with low bitterness and its juicy and aromatic flavors keep your taste buds wanting more.
Von Trapp was started as an American vision to create a German/Austrian version of lagers. The brewery began it’s operation at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont back in the spring of 2010.
