Drink It If You Can

Right now the General Stark’s Pub is home to some of the best and hardest to find craft beers in the state. So come on in, weather or not and try one of these gems for youself! You might even get a face shot!
This week’s Drink It If You Can Recommendation is Steve’s Backyard Red Ale, created in collaboration some of MRG’s finest: Shop Boy and Home-brewer Extraordinaire Steve Robbins, and Naturalist Director and Craft Brew Demigod Sean Lawson.
From the horse’s mouth:
Our first collaboration brewed at Lawson’s Finest in Warren, VT features local homebrewer Steve Robbins, with his talented use of specialty malt, a fine blend of hops, and a generous dose of Green Mountain attitude. This Red Ale is dark ruby hue with a rich malt character, full body and flavor, and has a nice overall balance of toasty grains and hop presence.
From the Brewski Bum:
This is a dang fine beer. It was a delightful treat after a Vermonty day on the slopes. A real easy drinker for something with so much flavor, but it’s lower in ABV than most Lawson’s offerings so you can have another without living the Lawson’s motto too badly (Straight from the Green Mountains to your head.) If you decide to eat with it, pair it with anything from the grill to bring out the richness. Cheers Sean & Steve!
Don’t forget that ManBando will be playing apres in the pub tomorrow! And break out your favorite retro outfits for Roll Back The Clock Day Tuesday, January 31 featuring $3.50 lift tickets, an assortment of demos and the Starline Rhythm Boys in the pub.
