Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer








OK. This is a very important post dealing with one of the major elements of our New Year's Vacation....Beer. Every year we procure barrels of the best ales that the state of Vermont has to offer. And Vermont has many fine brewers offering many fine ales and other types of beer styles. The choices are bountiful so I figure we should have a little poll to see what people are interested in (See below). You can vote for as many as you would like. And you can vote once a day. But, we need to order by Monday so you can really only vote once. In fact I am going to call Singleton's tomorrow late afternoon so you should vote now or now and tomorrow morning if you want your votes to count more then once. Take your responsibility as an American seriously...Rock the Vote. P Diddy did and so should you. I have also included a brown ale on the list in honor of of big O. Ill be oredring a variety of logs (40 pints) and maybe a few quarters (62 pints). We are not obligated to buy what we order we can buy a few at a time. So no worries about over-ordering. If we sink a few too many Bizmarks we can always re-order on Monday 12/29. But I am going to order enough so we can make stops and always know there is good beer to pick up. If anyone has or can procure a tap please do so and let me know the deal. It is always a bitch putting donw a deposit for those. Without further ado, the nominees for beer for our new years gullets....
Please vote for mutliple beers.

Okemo's Primary Surface: POWDER!!!!


"The amount of snowfall that has accumulated on the ground since yesterday afternoon is going to make for some awesome powder action at Okemo today! We received about 10 inches of natural fluff on all our trails overnight so you’re going to want to get to the mountain right at 8 a.m. to grab first chair and claim fresh tracks on one of our 76 open trails! "

That's the word from the Okemo website.

"Cloudy with snow showers early and steady snow likely later in the day. High 24F. Winds E at 10 to 20 mph. 5 to 8 inches of snow expected. "

That's from weather.com for Sunday ONLY

Here is the link to the complete storm warning that goes through Monday afternoon

Put that in your pipe and smoke it Al Gore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
