The 8-0--BREW - Switchback Brewing, Burlington VT

Today, we've made the trek up to Burlington, Vermont to visit one of the most popular and well known breweries in the state. Switchback Brewing, was founded in 2002 by Bill Cherry and his best friend, Jeff. Switchback is known for their great ale that can be found all over the state of Vermont and is probably in a local pub around you. Their beers, bottled or barreled, are all non filtered, giving their beer a unique and complex flavor. We had a chance to catch up with head brewer Jeff Tomaino and have him walk us through a batch of their switchback ale. We also meet up with owner, brew-master, and craft brew legend Bill Cherry to get the low down on the history of switchback and see what inspires him to keep brewing great Vermont craft brews. To round out our tour at switchback, we headed over to the switchback tasting room where Sara Diaz took us through a tasting of Switchbacks ale, Citra-Pils, and their Connector IPA along with some of their rotating specials.All of this and more on this episode of the eight oh brew!

Smugglers' - Vermont craft brew and disc golf: A match made in heaven

Three years ago, the Brewster Ridge Disc Golf course was rebuilt at Smugglers' Notch. In Shelburne, VT renowned brew master and owner, Matthew Cohen (known industry-wide as Matty-O) established Fiddlehead Brewing Company and began his continual quest to craft the perfect pint. If there's one thing the brewers at Fiddlehead are equally passionate about, it's disc golf. Ardent disc golfers Matty-O and brewer Jon Moorer explain why they'll continue to sponsor the state's largest Disc Golf Tournament, The Green Mountain Championship.

This year, they've taken their sponsorship to the next level by brewing a Double IPA named 'Hyzer Flip' in honor of the event. The beer will be on sale at their can-release party, held at The FallFest Hub (aka Smugglers' Village Green) at Smugglers' Notch Resort this Friday, September 19th from 7-10p.

Matty-O and Jon also discuss their passion for the Brewster Ridge Disc Golf course itself, and recount last year's championship, in which they had the opportunity to play with - and take notes from - some of the biggest names in disc golf: Ricky Wysocki, Nate Doss, Nikko Locastro, Simon Lizotte, and Steve Brinster.
