How to make super-unhealthy food even unhealthier: Leftover fries, onion rings & pickles covered in mozzarella, red pesto & prosciutto 😋😋😋 I’ll eat a salad tomorrow, promise 😬

A delicious fresh cask pour of the mighty Heady Topper from its stunning mountainside source, plus a delightful summer saison w French Strisselspalt hops! Yep, The Alchemist is completely living up to the hype 👌🏽🍻

We literally got the last squeak of von Trapp Brewing ‘s Live Oak Brewing Co. collab smoked Helles!! As lovely JB noted - just a 2,000 mile drive to try a beer from our fab neighbours! 😂 Not gonna lie though-it totally kicks & I’d have cried if I’d missed it! 🍻🍻

Obvs had to have double-bubble white n red flights Julie and Dave Lane - 95% of their grapes come from their gorgeous on-site vineyards on South Hero peninsula VT ☺️🍷 Top picks are the tangy, refreshing melon-lime Vermont Seyval Blanc & juicy-cherry oaky Marquette-cheers!

Delicious wild ales Foam Brewers 😋🍻 Esp enjoyed their House of Fermentology Dots & Dashes w blackberries & VT wildflower honey - a mouthwatering sweet-tart zesty treat - happy Friday y’all!

Greetings from Lawson's Finest in the heart of the Green Mountains VT! Great brews w great views - love beering in such stunning verdance - top beer pick is Patagonia Provisions organic Kernza lager collab-yes, I’m biased but that nutty umami grain flavour just kicks 👍🏽🍻

Fab visit to the gorgeous Barr Hill Gin distillery, Montpelier VT ☺️🍸🍯 Gins & vodka made w succulent locally sourced raw honey for such delicate smooth flavours w elegant sweetness, plus a chic hillside taproom w excellent service 👌🏽

Huge mega-thanks to our wonderful & super-generous friends I’ll take another & Meg for this delectable treat! The oloroso really shines, adding gorgeous vinious depth and complexity and a hint of sweet warmth ❤️🥃

We made it to Rhode Island y’all! Greetings from Origin Beer Project who have a super-cute taproom & on-point brews. We’re tucking into a beautifully crisp floral herb Italian Pilsner dry-hopped w Hallertauer Mittelfruh and an aromatic roasted-coffee-bean Dark Mild on nitro👌🏽🍻

Rhode Island means rockin a ridiculous number of $1 oysters, littleneck & cherrystone clams at the Providence Oyster House appy hour 😁🦪🦪🦪 For the curious, I put away 18 in total - so far! 😯

Rhode Island oyster/clam rounds 3 & 4-current consumption total 24 🫢🦪🦪🦪🦪🦪🦪

Wanted to visit RI’s Industrious Spirits Co since I learned of their oyster vodka so super-psyched our impromptu trip has brought us here! Ostredia is delish-briny saline aroma & flavour, & the new Seaflow oyster gin is compex & layered with seaweed & pea flower-hella yum!🍸🦪

Providence RI, I love you and cannot wait to come back! Can’t believe we crammed in an epic 9 venues, 2 record stores a few tourist sights in 1day-sooooo much fun! ❤️🌆🦪🍻🍸🥃

When you drive past a brewery unexpectedly it would be churlish not to stop for a quick one, right?! 😁🍻 An excellent decision as Northwoods Brewing NH has totally delivered-esp a funky af BA peach saison, crisp as ya like Italian pilsner & fresh as a daisy IPA w local malt👍🏽

A mighty three state Capitols in three days!! We totally rock (as much as nerdy middle-aged historians can 😂) 🙌🏽🏫❤️ (In case anyone cares, Concord NH, Providence RI & Montpelier VT)

Obvs the first thing we did on arriving in Maine was get a 2ft lobster roll!! 😋😋😋🦞🦞🦞 Paired perfectly with Peak Organic Brewing ‘s organic lager too - absolutely perfect! 🥰

.Allagash Brewing Co White fresh from the freakin’ source y’all! Super-psyched to be here 🙌🏽🍻 Plus a tonne of fab mixed culture brews - top picks are the complex, zesty-spiced Confluence & juicy-funky Little Sal - beeradventuring cheers!
