Outside Morrisville the GPS lost the signal
as we entered Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.
We continued with dead reckoning. A misty
rain fell outside Greensboro Bend where we
stopped to ask directions. Go down the road
turn left on Taylor, right at the flat, don't
give up. The old farmhouse appeared out
of the drizzle. Tall windows, steel vats,
brew masters working in white suits.
We opened the weathered white doors, shook
away the rain drops and entered. An hour later
we left with two growlers of Hill Farmstead's IPA
clutched to our breasts like the last candy
in the Easter basket.
