One thing that did not change was the delicious brews- so worth the trip. And, all of the employees are so friendly and helpful. We went on a beautiful day in August. Sat in some Adirondack chairs and enjoyed the beautiful scenery while sipping on great beer! I had Arthur and George. I love how many of their beer is named for family members- their stories are fun to read. Very family and pet friendly. We brought sandwiches, but there was a BBQ food truck on the premises. We bought some cans to bring home. I would strongly urge beer lovers to check out Hill Farmstead-guaranteed deliciousness.

There are now areas to be able to drink onsite. They have a bunch of seating, high and low, and they also have a stage for musicians.

I had a long conversation with the owner and brewmaster, a biochem engineer by trade, and a true, humble Vermonter.

Delicious, highly recommend.

Workers were very friendly and welcoming inside. The inside had some bar seating and some table seating with someone playing piano. The menu has a variety of different sandwiches. I started with a hot chocolate and the elote dip. Hot chocolate was nothing special but was good on a cold day. The elote dip was delicious! Warm and cheesy! Yum! I then ordered the falafel pita. It wasn't my favorite. The falafel was crisp but I didn't love the homemade gluten free pita. It was not fluffy and was just kinda bland. The fries were made well! Thick and very crispy. Overall the atmosphere was nice.

So while on a trip and looking for a spot to grab some lunch naturally we ended up picking this spot. I've been aware of Lost Nation Brewing but it's been since 2016/2017 when I had a beer from them last. To start they have ample parking and have a nicely painted mural on the side of their building. They have an indoor section we did not check that out and instead sat at the bar in the outdoor section. How can you pass up looking into the kitchen and also the wafting scents of burgers, fries and everything else being cooked. Despite a chillier day than most we have had lately it was worth it! Besides their own brews they had guest taps, guest botttles/cans, and even some cocktails including some spiked apple cider for that fall feeling drink. For beer fans they even had a rotating Hillfarmstead DIPA for a guest tap. I ended up getting their Kolsch and my wife got their gose. Both very solid beers and worth grabbing. Food wise they had a couple burgers, fried chicken sandwich, pulled pork, turkey sandwich, hot dogs, and some small plates. My wife ended up choosing the burger and I got their fried chicken sandwich. She enjoyed the burger and thought it was cooked very well. The chicken sandwich was delicious, the fact it was smothered in honey did make it a bit messy to eat but tasted so good! The fries we got were massive and well seasoned and the side of pickles were great too. Would be a no brainer to get either one again if we visit again! Bartender was friendly and we didn't wait long at all for the drinks or food! Well made brews paired along side delicious food, really what more could you ask for? If you visit during warmer weather it appeared they have a huge outdoor area further back than we were in as well! If you like visiting breweries add this to your list to check out!

On my way back from Hill Farmstead, I asked one of the beertenders where I should stop at. He…read morerecommended a smaller brewery, Ten Bends. Ten Bends Beer is a craft brewery in Hyde Park, Vermont that produces small-batch ales and lagers. The brewery's name comes from a neighborhood in Hyde Park and the Lamoille River, which bends ten times between Morrisville and Johnson, Vermont. Ten Bends Beer's beers are inspired by the region and are made with creative experimentation and perseverance. I enjoyed a flight while here: Refractives White Grape: A Kettle Sour Beer with nice notes of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Tartness isn't too high, which allows some of the aromatic and subtlety of the grape to come through. Cream Puff War Peach: A Double IPA that is brewed with honey malt and lactose, fermented with Peach Puree, and then Double Dry Hopped. The lactose gives it a fuller mouthfeel and pulls out the orange julius, dare I say, peach julius, vibes of the beer. Not too sweet, but definitely on the sweeter side. Green Fountains: A Hazy IPA hopped with Cascade, Mosaic, and Strata. I get strong notes of citrus and pine, finishing with dank overripe pineapple. Dark Daze: An Imperial Stout aged in Whiskey Barrels. Lower in viscosity than a lot of barrel aged stouts nowadays, but beautiful dark cacao, espresso, and fig notes rounded out by vanilla and oak. ______________

After seeing the iconic Balsams, we were hungry and had the Reel Craft Pass. So we checked the brew houses and came up with Coös. Definitely the right choice. Entering the warehouse type setting, the brew mechanisms are on the left and the building's nave hosts several picnic benches , some really comfy sofas with side tables at one end, and on the other end, the service bar and kitchen. Bathrooms were at the entrance to the building and they are immaculate. The three servers on duty were charming and friendly, knowing everything about their trade and offerings. The cheerful welcome we got wars a part of the festivities. We ordered a Double Raspberry Sour - so good we had another one.... Then a Dooryard New England IPA, hoppy and aromatic. And then our last one was the Woodland Wit, a citrusy wheat beer with spices. Foodwise, we ordered the Veggie Lovers Personal Flatbread-Style Pizza, a delicious veggie pizza with a crusty base, and the Pepperoni & Burnt Haoney flatbread, delicious. We sat in their expansive outside seating area overlooking the beautiful Vermont peaks across t the river. A wonderful lunch ina spectacular place with superb brews.

Nestled right out of town, in the Industrial Complex, Coös (co-ahs) Brewing doesn't disappoint.

Beer flights of 4 and 6 available, in additional to a solid 8 rotating taps in various styles. Food menu is also available if you're feeling peckish.

I've dined at some pretty prestige bistros over the years and the tartar they served me was absolutely on par with the best one's I've had in Montreal, and France. Bravo freaking Zulu Chef! Sweetie's pizza was delicious to according to said Sweetie. Again, kudos to the Kitchen! Drinks: White wine for the Missus because that's the way she rolls. A 0% alc brown beer for me because I'm driving. According to many sources the pour that I received was cause for litigation, and cause for much worse than that in Ireland where I'm told the barman's well-being would be forfeit.
