If you're visiting in the winter, also be prepared for some unpaved roads and potentially challenging conditions. There's no food on site unless a food truck happens to be there, but honestly, the beer is the main event. It's hands down some of the most delicious beer you'll ever have. The outdoor areas are dog friendly, which is a nice bonus. It's definitely worth the trip if you're a beer lover and don't mind going a little off the beaten path.

I also love the little Pittsburgh connection and seeing the Terrible Towel welcome mat. It always makes me smile. You can order beers on tap and pick up cases to take home, which makes it easy to stock up on some favorites. The outdoor space has really been enhanced over the last few years and is a delightful place to bring friends and family. Someday I'll plan well enough ahead to finally take the brewery tour, but until then, I'm happy enjoying the beer and the atmosphere.

All come in cans except Heady Topper, which you can grab on draft from a refrigerated beer engine. I have to say, having it on draft is a magical experience. Their aluminum cups are quite cute and you can take them home. Food is from a truck. Jamaican food that can be quite overwhelming with salt and spice if you're not careful. The potatoes were especially good. They hold events on their website including Boogie Bingo which we attended on Thursday night. Great host with a very dry sense of humor. We come up to Vermont every year, and this will definitely become a regular spot for us. Cheers!

So while on a trip and looking for a spot to grab some lunch naturally we ended up picking this spot. I've been aware of Lost Nation Brewing but it's been since 2016/2017 when I had a beer from them last. To start they have ample parking and have a nicely painted mural on the side of their building. They have an indoor section we did not check that out and instead sat at the bar in the outdoor section. How can you pass up looking into the kitchen and also the wafting scents of burgers, fries and everything else being cooked. Despite a chillier day than most we have had lately it was worth it! Besides their own brews they had guest taps, guest botttles/cans, and even some cocktails including some spiked apple cider for that fall feeling drink. For beer fans they even had a rotating Hillfarmstead DIPA for a guest tap. I ended up getting their Kolsch and my wife got their gose. Both very solid beers and worth grabbing. Food wise they had a couple burgers, fried chicken sandwich, pulled pork, turkey sandwich, hot dogs, and some small plates. My wife ended up choosing the burger and I got their fried chicken sandwich. She enjoyed the burger and thought it was cooked very well. The chicken sandwich was delicious, the fact it was smothered in honey did make it a bit messy to eat but tasted so good! The fries we got were massive and well seasoned and the side of pickles were great too. Would be a no brainer to get either one again if we visit again! Bartender was friendly and we didn't wait long at all for the drinks or food! Well made brews paired along side delicious food, really what more could you ask for? If you visit during warmer weather it appeared they have a huge outdoor area further back than we were in as well! If you like visiting breweries add this to your list to check out!

On my way back from Hill Farmstead, I asked one of the beertenders where I should stop at. He…read morerecommended a smaller brewery, Ten Bends. Ten Bends Beer is a craft brewery in Hyde Park, Vermont that produces small-batch ales and lagers. The brewery's name comes from a neighborhood in Hyde Park and the Lamoille River, which bends ten times between Morrisville and Johnson, Vermont. Ten Bends Beer's beers are inspired by the region and are made with creative experimentation and perseverance. I enjoyed a flight while here: Refractives White Grape: A Kettle Sour Beer with nice notes of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Tartness isn't too high, which allows some of the aromatic and subtlety of the grape to come through. Cream Puff War Peach: A Double IPA that is brewed with honey malt and lactose, fermented with Peach Puree, and then Double Dry Hopped. The lactose gives it a fuller mouthfeel and pulls out the orange julius, dare I say, peach julius, vibes of the beer. Not too sweet, but definitely on the sweeter side. Green Fountains: A Hazy IPA hopped with Cascade, Mosaic, and Strata. I get strong notes of citrus and pine, finishing with dank overripe pineapple. Dark Daze: An Imperial Stout aged in Whiskey Barrels. Lower in viscosity than a lot of barrel aged stouts nowadays, but beautiful dark cacao, espresso, and fig notes rounded out by vanilla and oak. ______________

Bathrooms were at the entrance to the building and they are immaculate. The three servers on duty were charming and friendly, knowing everything about their trade and offerings. The cheerful welcome we got wars a part of the festivities. We ordered a Double Raspberry Sour - so good we had another one.... Then a Dooryard New England IPA, hoppy and aromatic. And then our last one was the Woodland Wit, a citrusy wheat beer with spices. Foodwise, we ordered the Veggie Lovers Personal Flatbread-Style Pizza, a delicious veggie pizza with a crusty base, and the Pepperoni & Burnt Haoney flatbread, delicious.
