Long Trail Brewing Co Vermont Craft Beer Tasting Beverage Warehouse of Vermont

Details on VT IPA from www.longtrail.com:

Introducing our take on the hazy, hoppy style coming from the Green Mountains! Our brewers have been developing this recipe for the past year; playing around with yeast strains and hop combinations in search of a smooth, juicy offering that pleases palates.

With VT IPA they found the perfect balance of tropical fruit and citrus flavors through a heavy dry-hopping of Citra and Amarillo hops, which give distinct tangerine, mango, pineapple and grapefruit character.

The juicy hop profile is complemented by the grist, which features a heavy hand of flaked oats and aromatic Munich malt to deliver a smooth mouthfeel and hazy appearance. What sets this beer apart -aside from the soft bitterness – is the introduction of a new yeast strain that provides the beer with more neutral notes and juicy esters that enhance the hops.

About The Producer –

   Field Recordings is 35-year old winemaker Andrew Jones’ personal catalog of the people and places he values most. Spending his days as a vine nursery fieldman planning and planting vineyards for farmers all over California, Andrew is sometimes offered small lots of their best fruit on the side. Having stood in just about every vineyard on the Central Coast, he has a keen eye for diamonds in the rough: sites that are unknown or under-appreciated but hold enormous untapped potential. As friendships are made and opportunities are embraced, Andrew produces small quantities of soulful wine from these unusual, quiet vineyards.

     The Field Recordings wines are a catalog of single vineyard sites that produces wines with a sense of place and personality.  In addition to the single vineyard wines, multi-vineyard blends are put together under the Alloy Wine Works and FICTION labels. 

     Alloy Wine Works is a collection of varietal wines packaged only in tallboy 500 ml cans.  The perfect balance of inventive spirit and rural charm.  Each can is pure craft wine, not to be “hip” or “relevant”, but because we want to.

     FICTION, the original spin-off label, is a white and red wine produced from multiple vineyards and multiple varieties.  Taking what the season gives us and creating a blend made for every occasion.  Ready for tonight, tomorrow or this weekend.
