Fiddlehead Brewing Expands Distribution to Massachusetts

Another Vermont-based brewing company is bringing its beers to Massachusetts.

According to an Facebook events page from the business, Fiddlehead Brewing has expanded its distribution to the state, with a ceremonial tapping of Fiddlehead IPA taking place later today at Eastern Standard Kitchen & Drinks in Boston's Kenmore Square. Another Facebook post from the company says "After 5 exciting years of building our brand locally here in Vermont, we are excited to announce that this week, we will begin full-time draft distribution to Massachusetts....We hope to have a full list of current Boston area draft accounts soon, but until then, check with your favorite local spots to see if we're there!" One other spot mentioned as having Fiddlehead is the Tip Tap Room in Boston's Beacon Hill while Stoked Pizza in Brookline tweets that they will have it as well.

Fiddlehead Brewing, which is headquartered in Shelburne, joins another Vermont brewer that recently expanded to Massachusetts--Warren-based Lawson's Finest Liquids--though Lawson's Sip of Sunshine and Super Session #2 are produced at Two Roads Brewing in Stratford, CT. Fiddlehead produces a number of beers in addition to its flagship IPA; as soon as we find out what other beers the company might be bringing to the state, we will post an update here.

The website for Fiddlehead Brewing can be found at http://www.fiddleheadbrewing.com/

[March 26 update: A new Facebook post from the brewery indicates that Fiddlehead IPA is apparently the only Fiddlehead beer available at restaurants and bars at this point in time, and the post also gives a list of places where it can be found, including Canary Square, Highland Kitchen, Lulu's, Solas, Stoddard's, and many more.]

A Few Photos from the 2012 Vermont Cheesemakers' Festival

Last Sunday the 2012 Vermont Cheesemakers' Festival was held at Shelburne Farms on the shores of Lake Champlain in Shelburne, VT. A number of cheesemakers, brewers, winemakers, food purveyors, and others took part in the event, including many "repeat" participants such as Twig Farm and Grafton Village Cheese. Below are some photos from the festival, which was a huge success (the event was sold out well before it took place, just as it had been the year before).

Photos from 2011 Vermont Cheesemakers' Festival

The 2011 Vermont Cheesemakers' Festival was held at Shelburne Farms in Shelburne, VT, this past Sunday, and we were fortunate enough to take part in it. The event featured a variety of local cheesemakers as well as brewers, winemakers, food purveyors, and more, with well over 50 booths stationed both inside and outside the Shelburne Farms Coach Barn, which is located on the shores of Lake Champlain.

All of the products sampled were terrific, including the Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, the West River Creamery's Cambridge Classic Reserve, the Twig Farm Old Goat, the Grafton Village Cheese Tavern Select, the Vermont Smoke and Cure bacon, the Hill Farmstead Brewery Vera Mae (a honey and dandelion ale), and the Hillis' Sugarbush Farm & Vineyard Maple Ambrosia wine.

Some photos from the 2011 Vermont Cheesemakers' Festival are below:
