What to do in St. Albans, VT

[Nik H]

Going there this weekend for my son’s hockey tournament. Never been that far north in VT.

Any suggestions would be welcome...good pub ideas are always welcome

Take a peak at the bullet holes in the local bank.

During Civil War Confederate Raiders came town from Canada and tried to rob the bank.

I think @sirhrmechanic is so far north, he's practically a Canuckistani.

wear your MAGA hat

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Visit the St. Albans Raid museum for sure!

And do wear your MAGA hat. They love that stuff up there! Down in Chittenden County, you'll find some faux-Ranger drum circle reject in your face. But in Snalbans (that's how it's pronounced)... they are all about MAGA!

Cheers,

Sirhr

If you have time on your way North, visit the campus of Norwich University (about 10 minutes off the Interstate at the Northfield exit) and visit the Gordon Sullivan Museum. Easy parking. If it's not free... it's very cheap. And amazing little museum. Also big hockey school!

Cheers,

Watch this one. I know for a fact that he disseminates Quebecois propaganda hidden within the lines of poutine recipes.

 

[Nik H]

Thanks @sirhrmechanic. I will check out the raid museum.

Should have worn my MAGA hat. I have my AI hat.

There used to be a great vintage motorcycle parts dealer up that way just south of St Albans.

Dont remember the name of the place but their having a part for my 1974 HD XLCH was the reason I drove that far North in the land of wool socks and sandals.

Aside from what Sirh mentioned, if you're passing through Norwich, may want to call ahead to Green Mountain Barrels and see if you can get a tour. Largest barrel maker in the US...

If you're anywhere in Vermont, go visit the Alchemist Brewing company

Lots of well developed ladies up here

Careful...those are men.

Careful...those are men.

Ah no..they are female...I am surprised based on other places I have been in VT.

Pictures or it didn't happen. Preferably large-breasted women with boobs spilling out their blouses.

Hard to do with my wife being there. You’ll have to take my word for ot

 

[MtnCreek]

Try harder next time...

THIS RIGHT HERE.

Don’t drink beer. Life is too short to waste it drinking weak ass liquid

Bullshit. You're 100% chileno, ¡ de pura cepa !

 

[sirhrmechanic]

THIS RIGHT HERE.

No.... that is shitty tourist beer. Over-rated and trendy.

You want the best beer go to Rock Art in Morrisville, just up the road. Get the Limited Access IPA. Or the Notch Hopper.

Cheers,

Sirhr

Harbor Vintage. Rat runs it. Neat place! Throwback place for sure. On Rt.2, between Exits 11 and 10.

Heady Topper is no tourist beer.

Yes... yes it is. But if it frosts your cupcake... that leaves more if the good stuff for us!

Don't encourage him with such metrosexual metaphors, please.

Really you should not be spending any money or staying any longer than you have to in the dirty hippie communist shithole, you only give them hope other parts of the country might like them and not want them all wiped out like the cancer they are deserves. Do your business collect your money and take it with you, fuckem, commie muther fuckers up there. Go do projectile direah shit on the ben and jerry HQ, With your Maga hat on.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

To each their own cupcake.

There is a reason it is in the top ten for the last ~8 years that I know of. View attachment 7011817

Yup and Budweiser is the King of Beers, too...

You tourist guys keep paying $15 a can all you want... take it away. Load up the SUV! Don’t let me stop you! Heck, the owners of the Alchemist appreciate it... they’re buying a bigger boat! So enjoy!

We’ll still keep the good stuff to ourselves.

Cheers, Sirhr

John Candy the great American patriot warned us about the Canuckians before they silenced him, the good lord bless his red, white and blue soul.

HAHAHAHAHA

Beer

Drinking whiskey

 

[powdahound76]

Piss “ We The People” in the snow every time you get the chance.

Bonus points if it looks like the Constitution or is in your wife’s handwriting!

 

[Nik H]

In that case you might want to bring your own. George T. Stagg Antique or W.L. Weller 12yr.

Great restaurant and bar here called The Old Foundry. Great food and drink. Nice steak done blood rare and Whistle Pig rye on ice....mmmmmmm

 

[ArmyJerry]
