It is easy to picture me sipping cold, freshly brewed Long Trail beer along the Ottaquechee River in Vermont’s green Mountains. This experience, learning about Long trails environmentally conscious methods, was a highlight of my recent visit.

Now picture, Gail, Maralyn and Norm, who claim to be non-beer drinkers, trying six tastes of the award winning beers. Later I spotted Gail leave Long Trail with two six-packs.

This story tells it all about how delicious Long Trail beer tastes. I loved the Blackberry Wheat, (healthy, too) the lighter Belgian White and golden colored Harvest Ale.

The ambiance, food and hospitality only added to the lovely May afternoon along the riverside.

Even during their humble beginnings, Long Trail was “green” before it became a buzzword
