This is stuff on my hit list when I'm in Vermont:
- Hill Farmstead Brewery
- Parker Pie (near HF) for pizza / bottles; they have a great tap list
- Willys Store in Greensboro for HF bottles and Jasper Hill cheeses (Moses Sleeper, Cabot Clothbound, Alpha Tolman, Harbison, … )
- There's a roadside pie shop right outside of Elmore State Park
- Lost Nation brewery in Morristown (lunch, taps)
- Alchemist in Stowe (the new place)
- Doc Ponds in Stowe for eats + good taps + good bottles
- The Bench in Stowe (same)
- Cabot Annex between Stowe and Waterbury for almost all of the Cabot cheeses + their other products
- Ben & Jerry's 'cause why not?
- Prohibition Pig in Waterbury for BBQ + great taps and their own beers
- Craft Beer Cellar (bottle shop) next door
- Blackback Pub (dive bar) next door
- The Reservoir (bar) next door
- There's a tiny wine bar nearby whose name I can't remember that had Sip pours for $4 when I was there 2 weeks ago
- Three Penny in Montpelier for great food + taps + bottles
- Hunger Mountain Coop in Montpelier for beer + cheese + hippie food
- Poorhouse Pies (self-service pie shop) as often as possible
- Healthy Living near Burlington (another coop; same)
- Trader Joe's 'cause why not
- Vermont Pub and Brewery because Greg Noonan was a legend and it's worth visiting from time to time, just don't expect the current level of Vermont beer
- Farmhouse Tap & Grill in Burlington for good food, good taps, good bottles. Usually HF + Lawson's and often tap takeovers for interesting stuff
- American Flatbread (food + taps, also Zero Gravity brewing)
- Foam Brewing near the water in Burlington
- …
