Hey y'all! I'm moving the Beer on the A.T. article thread here. We have a category about beer in general, but this might be a good place to have an A.T. specific beer discussion.
I'm working on my article for BeerAdvocate. So far I have the intro and one paragraph written and rewritten several times. I plan to organize the paragraphs in a northbound order, but Hop'n Moose in Vermont is the only one I've interviewed so far. My assignment is 600-800 words and is as follows: Which places stood out to you and why? What about them makes them memorable spots as a beer drinker? Include specific details along with colorful quotes from owners or managers about how they view their relationship with the AT and its hikers.
I'm looking for any and all criticism or thought-provoking ideas. I'm new to this whole "publish your writing" kind of thing. Thanks y'all!
An Appalachian Trail through-hiker undergoes myriad sacrifices on the 2,189 mile pilgrimage of purpose through fourteen states. The hiker chooses to forego daily showers and satisfying meals while enduring relentless exhaustion and depressing bouts of homesickness for family and friends. But for beer enthusiasts, I bring good news! We need not add our drink of choice to our list of sacrifices! Liquid joy can be found in all of its forms including cans stowed in a hiker’s backpack and lugged up miles of brutally arduous terrain as well as breweries near the trail serving the freshest, local stuff straight from the tap. Read on to follow the white blazes to the pots of liquid gold just waiting to quench days of beer thirst.
As the white blazes lead you farther north, Hop’n Moose in Rutland, Vermont is not to be missed! A relatively new establishment, Hop’n Moose opened operations as Rutland’s only brewery in 2014. Situated three doors down from the popular hiker hostel, The Yellow Deli, a hungry, beer-loving hiker will leave here fully satisfied regardless of preferred beer style. Unique in its selection, every color of the beer rainbow is available on fourteen taps. Stouts and reds aged in whiskey barrels, hoppy IPAs and maple porters, honey browns and blueberry blonds are among the few just waiting to quench your beer thirst. The comprehensive menu includes brick oven pizza to please even the most ravenous of hikers. According to the establishment’s owner and brewer, Dale Patterson, the mouthwatering burgers are produced using locally sourced cattle that have fed on the spent grains from the brewing process. Pair the savory cuisine and the wide assortment of tasty brews and you’ll discover a hiking beer lover’s recipe for happiness!
