Being from Florida and now living in Chicago I had never had magic hat until I went to help him move into the dorms. We stopped by the brewery on the way back to the airport in Burlington. They make great beer and I am disappointed that I can't get it anywhere. Now I love to go visit my brother at Middlebury so I can stop by and pick up a case to bring back to the windy city with me. We do get Pyramid here though so hopefully with the buyout we can start getting some magic hat. My brother started school at Middlebury this past fall.

I'm honored that I could be such a beerspiration. I do remember the first time I came home from Whole Foods with an armful of beer. The guys were like, "C...can I try one of those?" And it's probably for the best that you didn't try the honey mead. It was originally supposed to be a honey porter until I added 5lbs of honey instead of 1lbs. Oops. The funny thing is, on the night of graduation, everyone in the room had failed to purchase beer and thanks to Massachusetts blue laws we were unable to procure any more. The honey porter was all we had. We ended up playing Beirut with it. Blech. And, believe it or not, I too once feared the hops. I started brewing right after high school and have memories of cringing to Sierra Nevada. The first beer that did it for me was Harpoon IPA...one of those infinitely-drinkable, well-balanced IPAs. It's beer! Hooray beer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaLqII_tP7A&feature=related Hey JJ, great post! I’m honored that I could be such a beerspiration.
