Long Trail IPA 6-Pack Bottles

Long Trail IPA 6-Pack Bottles

Beer - Craft IPA

Description: Andy Pherson, founder of the Long Trail Brewery, began his quest in 1989, in the basement of the old Bridgewater Woolen Mill here in Vermont's Green Mountains. His goal was to brew and sell beer that would be an American-made alternative to imported German and English ales. At that time the brewery was called the Mountain Brewers, though a name was still needed for the beer(s). While contemplating names Andy passed a Long Trail hiking trail marker on his way home in the nearby area and had an epiphany. Seeing the hikers on the sign and the words 'Long Trail' he knew right away that it was what he was looking for! Not long after naming his beer Long Trail Ale the name caught on and the brewery began to be referred to as "the Long Trail guys." The name Mountain Brewers was then dropped and the name 'Long Trail Brewing Company' was kept and continued on as the brewery they are today. Producer The Long Trail Brewing Company began its mission to brew high quality craft beer in November 1989. A humble beginning in the basement of the old Bridgewater Woolen Mill along the Ottauquechee River in the Green Mountains of Vermont was soon outgrown so the brewery packed up and "Hit the Trail" up the road to a riverside hay field where they now reside. Long Trail takes the words "Environmentally Conscious" very seriously. Appreciation for our surroundings and an understanding of the resource limitations of our local environment have inspired our company to consider ways to minimize the environmental impact our brewery has on our area. All spent grain and spent hops are fed to local dairy cattle as a valuable food supplement, steam from the brewing process is condensed into hot water and the thermal energy is used to heat water for the next brewing cycle saving up to 2,000 gallons of propane a month. By combining the very best ingredients available - like pure Vermont drinking water - and environmentally minded brewing processes with a genuine passion for brewing high quality craft beer, Long Trail proudly produces an extraordinary Family of Fine Ales.
