Yes, a nor’easter can be brutal, but each fresh blanket of snow makes the skiing better and the beer taste crisper. Cue the Mount Snow Winter Brewers’ Festival. It marries skiing, music and Vermont’s beloved brewery culture to turn even a heavy snowstorm into good time. Turns out adults can have snow days, too.
Mount Snow’s ski season extends well into spring — yes, that includes April, when this festival takes place — and the Mount Snow’s Winter Brewers’ Festival brings together the classic mountain combo: snow lovers and breweries. Although the festival has not yet released the breweries attending this year, some of the ones that have attended in previous years include the famous White Claw and Sam Adams. Other breweries like Catamount Brewing Company are more local to Vermont. The music lineup is also yet to be released, but will include a mix of live bands and DJs, all of which are likely to be local, too.
