Weekending in Vermont
Ingredients
Houses are a nightmare, but weekending in Vermont is worth it. Scott drinks less, Peter’s knee hurts more, and they both remember Chicago. The font, that is. Keyboards, trackpads, mice, detectives, vampires, and the Post Office – it’s all here!

Beestly Organic Honey Porter
Hopworks Brewery
Scott Thumbs up
“I like this better than other Hopworks beer I've tried. I taste the honey. It's a good porter. I won't say "OMG" and rush out to buy it again, but I like it.”
Hopworks Brewery saysAn award-winning, organic, robust American Porter that exudes clover and honey aromas with delicate notes of caramel with a light, roasty finish.
