The 4th green at the Killington Resort Golf Course

At least for today the early morning moisture has been scrubbed from the atmosphere. Residents and visitors at Killington this morning were greeted by the brilliant color combinations of fall foliage accented with a crystal blue sky.

Colors in the Killington Basin area are nearing peak. Colors to the east in Woodstock and the west in Rutland are coming along, but due to their lower elevations will not peak probably until later next week. Guests have reported brilliant colors to the north of Killington along Route 100 up to the Stowe area. Colors along Route 7 from Middlebury to Rutland are being reported as still developing, but are still quite beautiful in their own right.

This weekend is "Brewfest Weekend" at the Killington Resort. Over 100 craft brewers will be in attendance, sampling their golden nectars (and some dark porters/stouts as well). The tasting session scheduled for Saturday afternoon is reported as being sold out. Tickets are still available for the tasting session scheduled for tonight (Friday).

In addition to the festivities on the mountain, we have also been building a nice inventory of local Vermont brews to serve at the bar in the Great Room at the Birch Ridge Inn. Both Long Trail Limbo and Switchback Ale are on tap. In addition, we have been building a collection of locally brewed beers and hard ciders as part of our by the bottle offerings.

Where ever you may be .. keep it in the fairway...And take in some of the fall foliage beauty of Vermont.
