Long Trail Brewing Company
Long Trail Brewing Company is based out of Bridgewater Corners, VT. Named after the popular hiking trail, Long Trail has been extremely popular throughout the New England area. Personally, I have met many of the brewers here and talked to them about how they brew the beer. The factory is in superb condition and shows the kind of care and quality that goes into a Long Trail brew. The beers produced by the Long Trail Brewing Company are what I would classify as mainly a medium sort of beer. There is a lot of flavor in the ales, and they certainly are not as dark and bitter as some other beers. Long Trail is well known for the Long Trail Ale, Hibernator, and Blackbeary Wheat. Personally, Hibernator is my favorite of these brews. It has a nice smooth taste that, in my opinion, is hard to beat. Typically, it is a good brew to enjoy with a mice piece of steak or something along those lines. Either way, the brews from Long Trail Brewing Company are of extremely high quality. I have been enjoying them for years, and I hope that some of you will start to like them. Long Trail is a well known and respected name in parts of New England. Personally, I think the laid back but professional attitude of the brewing company has helped a lot with that image. The people at Long Trail are always ready to talk and serve you a beer. I know what you are thinking. You are saying "well duh it's a bar and that's why they are nice to you because they want you to have more." While I would normally agree with that, there is just something genuinely nice about the people at the Long Trail Brewery. That style and charisma shows through in their brews.

It really does sound like Long trail is a good beer. It defiently sounds like something that I would enjoy espically with a nice grilled steak. Maybe one thing you could start to maybe check out is where this beer could be purchased locally. I know that some beers can only be purchased localy, regionaly, nation, or worldwide. Long trail is on the right path to making a great company. Personalinty in both your manager and employees is very important. If they make you feel comfortable drinking the beer then the more you enjoying drinking it. I am looking forward to trying this one. Thanks again for the research.

Hey, I have never had this beer before, but it definitely sounds like a beer that I would really like to try. I really enjoy drinking a beer with steak, like you mentioned. But it has to be a beer with some serious body to it. Coors Light and stuff like that is not up to the par that I need when eating meat. I like at Iron Hill that fact that they recommend beers for their steaks and they usually fit well. I wish beer companies did that same thing. Anyway, I hope I can try this beer soon. If I see it I'll let you know where you can buy it around here.
