Long Trail Brewing in Bridgewater, about 18 miles from Okemo, is inspired by the 273-mile hiking trail that traverses Vermont. Ascutney takes its name from Ascutney Mountain, which was recently revived as a small ski area. Ascutney, for example, is a smooth, creamy beer that has taste notes of tropical fruits and peaches. Many of their beers are inspired by the area. From citrus-flavored beers to bitter flavors, Vermont Beer Makers is setting out to make its own unique and experimental beers, while still embracing the traditional brewing styles. Formerly named Trout River Brewing Company, Vermont Beer Makers has recently started focusing more on beer craft innovation. Founded in 1996, it is one of the state’s 10 original craft breweries. This 20-barrel brewhouse in Springfield is about 17 miles from Okemo. There is live music featuring local bands every Saturday. The taproom seats 120 people with a menu that focuses on wood-fired pizza. Brewing happens downstairs in a restored 1860s mill in Proctorsville Village, about seven miles from Okemo, and uses open-air and closed fermentation. “It’s that really old-style beer that you don’t see too often anymore,” says Dillon Urlich, a manager at Outer Limits.
The beer menu at Outer Limits, with a “little something for everyone,” focuses on dark and mild English and German styles. Pugsley helped Outer Limits Brewing get started. Alan Pugsley, of Pugsley’s Brewing Projects International, was Austin’s right hand and is credited with the New England beer scene. Peter Austin was responsible for the concept of microbreweries, and he founded the popular Ringwood Brewery in Hampshire, England, in 1978. This family-owned 10 beer-barrel brewery and taproom is one of about 200 breweries in the world that uses the Peter Austin Brick Kettle System.
