Things, they are a-changing.

So some of you may have noticed that our Beer Room looks mighty empty again.....but here's the skinny. We came in this past Sunday and added a whole mess-a-new shelving to the room and moved all kinds of things around. Reason bein' we're expecting 100+ new beers sometime within the next month or so. Yup. 100+.

If you're a-tryin' to sample all the beers available in Vermont you've got about a week left before we make your choices really difficult, so stop in soon and see where everything is, grab a mixer-sixer and get to work already!

Yeehaw!
