We have gone home to NY for Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. But this year was our first year celebrating in Vermont due to a sick baby so we made the best of it and tried to relax and enjoy a four day weekend.
Tom started off Thanksgiving brewing beer, we started drinking some beer at noon [traditions people, traditions] and because we're vegetarians we made some stuffing, with lots of veggies, from scratch and that's it! We did however go to 4 breweries on black Friday :) Tom's sister came in on Friday so of course we made our brewery rounds - we started small business Saturday early ;) We also decided to brave the crowds [16,000 people!] and head to Killington for the World Cup on Saturday. We didn't stay long but it's cool to say we went, plus Finn's life was made riding a bus! Besides that we painted the entryway and just hung out. It was kind of nice but we definitely missed being around a big family and really celebrating - next year!
 |
| First stop, Foley Brothers Brewing. Faire Maiden is easily one of the best beers and none of their other brews every disappoint either! |
We figured we were only 20mins from 3 breweries/ciders in Middlebury so headed up North. We stopped at
Drop-In,
Woodchuck and then
Ottercreek before heading back to Rutland for dinner at Vermont Tap House.
 |
| Every brewery needs Hungry, Hungry Hippos and a massive bucket of Mr. Potato Head. Well done Drop-In, well done! |
 |
| Always good and ended up taking home some cider/whisky reserve too. |
 |
| Littlest helper knows what's good. |
 |
| And Ottercreek just became their favorite brewery... |
 |
| Finn was upset he couldn't ride the gondola and ski the World Cup...next year buddy, next year . |
 |
| Now it just needs a second coat... |
What's your Thanksgiving traditions?
