Otter Creek Brewing / Lawson's Finest Liquids Double Dose IPA - What Cheers! Review #071
I just got back from Vermont after being lucky enough to hang and drink a lot of incredible brews with both of the dudes who made this beer!!! Check it out. Cheers.
In the Green Mountains, the landscape is dotted with breweries that have established Vermont as one of the premier beer destinations in the world. We pack a lot into our little state--abundant local foods, great music, natural beauty, and amazing beer. Vermonters know the finest things in life are best enjoyed with good buds. Friends and brewers Sean Lawson and Mike Gerhart have teamed up to create a beer that features the best qualities of each brewery.
Lawson, the bold and adventurous brewer of Lawson's Finest Liquids, has earned a reputation for top-notch IPA's and award winning maple beers. Fans flock to central Vermont in search of Lawson's small-batch bottled creations and to enjoy his draught beer at a select handful of beer bars and restaurants.
Gerhart is a rising-star of the Green Mountain beer scene. With a polished background at some of the most prestigious breweries in the United States, his hard work and commitment to excellence can be tasted in every batch of Otter Creek beer.
Otter Creek and Lawson's Finest have gone to great lengths to deliver the highest quality beer that includes water from each brewery, locally sourced specialty malt, and a dose of freshly harvested Vermont hops. This collaboration creation combines the talents of the two brewers into the uniquely delicious Double Dose IPA--brewed in the spirit of friendship, fun and really great beer.

Otter Creek (Vermont)
Otter Creek is one of the major streams located in the state of Vermont. Roughly 112 miles in length, it is the primary stream running through Rutland County and Addison County. It is one of the largest rivers in the state.
Otter Creek was known to the French as 'La Rivière aux Loutres', whence the English name. On April 1, 1690, Capt. Abraham Schuyler was commissioned by the city of Albany to take a party up the Otter Creek about 7 miles and there to keep watch and engage any Native Americans. This would correspond today to the City of Vergennes. In 1731, the French began construction of a fort at Crown Point to be known as Fort Frederic. Before construction began, they founded a new settlement called Addison.
Vergennes, situated on the first falls, 7 miles upstream from the outlet of Otter Creek, was chartered in 1778 only four years after New Haven and Hartford, Connecticut, and thus was the third incorporated city in New England.
Otter Creek rises in the Green Mountain National Forest on the western slopes of Mt. Tabor in the town of Peru in Bennington County, and flows southwesterly into the town of Dorset towards East Dorset, thence veering northward into Emerald Lake. Thence it runs northward passing through the towns of Danby, Wallingford, Clarendon, and Rutland town, the city of Rutland, and the towns of Proctor, Pittsford, and Brandon, all in Rutland County. On entering Addison County, it generally forms the boundary between various towns. It next passes through Middlebury, Weybridge and Vergennes and eventually empties into Lake Champlain at Ferrisburgh.
The stretch of water between the mouth at Fort Cassin Point, Lake Champlain and Vergennes is passable by boat, and is frequented by motor boats, canoes, and kayaks. Indeed, Vergennes was a shipyard of some importance in the various wars of the 18th century. Many nesting platforms have been built along the creek, so one is likely to see both osprey and bald eagles in the area.
The second set of falls, the Otter Creek Falls, is in the town of Middlebury, the site chosen in 1800 to be Vermont's original seat of higher education, Middlebury College. According to Around Middlebury, Otter Creek is the longest river in Vermont and was once an important 'highway' through the western part of what is now the state.
In Addison and Rutland counties, Otter Creek passes through significant wetlands, in particular Cornwall Marsh, Little Otter Creek Marsh and the Brandon Swamp.
Because it is called a creek, the unusual situation of a river emptying into a creek occurs several times along its length. For a list of these tributaries, see Lake Champlain. The source and mouth are separated by 68 miles miles distancethe additional 44 miles are due to meandering.
Otter Creek gives its name to a brewery located in Middlebury: Otter Creek Brewing.

HURRICANE IRENE HITS MONTGOMERY VERMONT
While the storm wasn't nearly as bad in northern Vermont relative to the southern end of the state, the torrential downpour we received was enough to cause a dramatic increase in the water level of many of the streams surrounding Montgomery, as well as some flooding. Captured using a Canon Vixia HV30.

BTV Burlington Vermont Fireworks 2012
July 3rd, 2012 Fireworks in Burlington, VT
Quoting ECHOVT's recent Facebook post: 6,119 individual fireworks to go off! WHOA! Eventually all the fireworks will be shot off from 700' of the breakwater and the large barge. Mike says that the last 90 seconds will be amazing. If this was a football game, the finale would be overtime! He is a proud American and so happy to be doing this spectacular on this picture perfect night on the Burlington Waterfront.
VSECU makes $30K donation
Since 2008, the Vermont Foodbank has owned the Kingsbury Farm along the Mad River on Route 100 in Warren. Farmers Aaron Locker and Suzanne Slomin lease the 22-acre farm and pay rent to the Foodbank in produce—30,000 pounds annually—which the Foodbank distributes to food shelves and meal sites around the state. When the Mad River overflowed its banks this summer, water washed away portions of the bank bordering the farm and carried away the topsoil.
Working in conjunction with Sugarbush Ski Resort, which owns the nearby snowmaking pond also damaged by the flooding, the Vermont Foodbank has embarked on a riverbank restoration project. Of the $30,000, VSECU has designated $15,000 towards this effort to help rebuild the riverbank by spring 2012. Approved by the State Department of Environmental Conservation, the plan involves rebuilding the bank using fill such as gravel and riprap. The Foodbank will then construct a brush mat of live tree boughs. The boughs will eventually root into the bank and grow a stabilizing buffer to hold the bank, preventing further erosion.
The Kingsbury Farm suffered extensive damage due to Tropical Storm Irene, leaving many of the crops in the field unsalable and soil full of silt, said John Sayles, chief executive officer of the Vermont Foodbank. We are thrilled to have the support of VSECU in getting the riverbank secured. The Kingsbury Farm is a valuable asset to the Vermont Foodbank and the thousands of Vermonters who receive produce from its fields.
