The 8-0--BREW - Switchback Brewing, Burlington VT
Today, we've made the trek up to Burlington, Vermont to visit one of the most popular and well known breweries in the state. Switchback Brewing, was founded in 2002 by Bill Cherry and his best friend, Jeff. Switchback is known for their great ale that can be found all over the state of Vermont and is probably in a local pub around you. Their beers, bottled or barreled, are all non filtered, giving their beer a unique and complex flavor. We had a chance to catch up with head brewer Jeff Tomaino and have him walk us through a batch of their switchback ale. We also meet up with owner, brew-master, and craft brew legend Bill Cherry to get the low down on the history of switchback and see what inspires him to keep brewing great Vermont craft brews. To round out our tour at switchback, we headed over to the switchback tasting room where Sara Diaz took us through a tasting of Switchbacks ale, Citra-Pils, and their Connector IPA along with some of their rotating specials.All of this and more on this episode of the eight oh brew!

Alchemist Brewery Tour
Here we are at the Alchemist Brewery in Waterbury, VT. Wow, what a good time this was for us. The whole drive up, I had Iron Butterfly stuck in my head.
When we first walked into the brewery, I immediately smelled Heady! This is such a sophisticated brewery operation. All the waste from brewing such as the grain, and yeast are all recycled. This was very impressive! Another reason the Alchemist is paving the way for new innovations in the beer industry. The Alchemist brewery is dedicated to brewing fresh Heady Topper on a daily basis. The weather was cold, but the beer is always good! Cheers!
Thanks again to Joel Hartman for showing us around, and to John & Jen Kimmich.

Episode # 28 - Heady Topper, The Alchemist Brewery and Co-Founder John Kimmich
Source:
Michael interviews the legendary John Kimmich, Co-Founder of The Alchemist Brewery in Stowe, VT to discuss the success of Heady Topper and give us insights on how he produces some of the most sought after beer in the WORLD.
The Alchemist is a family run brewery specializing in fresh, unfiltered IPA. John and Jen Kimmich originally opened The Alchemist as a 60 seat brew pub in the village of Waterbury in 2003. After eight years of success and growing popularity, they decided to open a small production brewery. Today The Alchemist currently operates two breweries in Vermont and handles all local distribution.
THE ALCHEMIST – WATERBURY
In early 2011 we built the Alchemist Cannery, a 15 barrel brewery and canning line, for the production of our flagship IPA Heady Topper. The first cans of Heady Topper rolled off the line just two days after Tropical Storm Irene demolished The Alchemist Pub and Brewery. Today, we move all of our beer weekly in a concerted effort to provide the freshest, hoppiest packaged IPA on the market. Heady Topper is brewed only in Waterbury, Vermont and is distributed within a 25 mile radius. Our Waterbury brewery is not open to the public. However, we distribute a portion of Heady Topper to our Stowe brewery and Visitor’s Center for retail sales and tasting. If you are not visiting our Stowe Visitor’s Center and would like to purchase Heady Topper elsewhere, please visit our WHERE TO BUY page to find a retailer close to you.
THE ALCHEMIST – STOWE
Opened in July 2016, this state of the art facility was designed to be as low impact as possible while providing us with enough space to serve our community and the growing number of beer tourists to Vermont. Our second year round beer, Focal Banger, is brewed in Stowe as well as seasonal beers that rotate throughout the year. The Alchemist Brewery and Visitor’s Center in Stowe provides samples of beer for tasting, retail beer sales, merchandise and a fun, educational experience.

VERMONT HARVEST HOST and Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour
The Green Mountains of Vermont have a lot to offer RVer's passing through. Ben & Jerry's Factory tour is a must and lots of Harvest Hosts choices.

We also spend a night a Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks in Montpelier. We spent a small fortune on real maple syrup and love the maple soft serve ice cream or creamees as they call it. Both Harvest Host locations are fantastic and have a lot to offer. Both highly recommended. If you have questions about our Harvest Hosts experience, please leave a comment below.

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory Tour - Waterbury, Vermont - Travels With Phil
In this video you get to take the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory Tour in Waterbury, Vermont. You get to see almost all of the operation, including the Flavor Graveyard. Ben & Jerry's trivia: why is the ice cream so chunky? Ben has severe anosmia, a lack of a sense of smell or taste. So, in order for him to taste it, it has to be big!. - Travels with Phil copyrighted by Phil Konstantin -

Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory & Cold Hollow Cider Mill - RV Living Travel Day - Waterbury, VT
On this travel day we move through Waterbury, Vermont, tasting all the delicious food that Vermont is known for. Our first stop is Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory. Here we sample the flavor of the day, watch how the ice cream is packaged, and explore the flavor graveyard. Next we check out Cold Hollow Cider Mill. Here the kids learn how apple cider is made, and we taste apple cider and delicious apple cider doughnuts. We were able to bring our RV into the parking lots at each of these places, but spaces were tight and the roads were narrow. We didn't show it in the video, but Cabot Cheese is also in Waterbury and makes delicious cheeses!

The Great Gildersleeve: Gildy's Campaign HQ / Eve's Mother Arrives / Dinner for Eve's Mother
The Great Gildersleeve (1941--1957), initially written by Leonard Lewis Levinson, was one of broadcast history's earliest spin-off programs. Built around Throckmorton Philharmonic Gildersleeve, a character who had been a staple on the classic radio situation comedy Fibber McGee and Molly, first introduced on Oct. 3, 1939, ep. #216. The Great Gildersleeve enjoyed its greatest success in the 1940s. Actor Harold Peary played the character during its transition from the parent show into the spin-off and later in a quartet of feature films released at the height of the show's popularity.
On Fibber McGee and Molly, Peary's Gildersleeve was a pompous windbag who became a consistent McGee nemesis. You're a haa-aa-aa-aard man, McGee! became a Gildersleeve catchphrase. The character was given several conflicting first names on Fibber McGee and Molly, and on one episode his middle name was revealed as Philharmonic. Gildy admits as much at the end of Gildersleeve's Diary on the Fibber McGee and Molly series (Oct. 22, 1940).
He soon became so popular that Kraft Foods—looking primarily to promote its Parkay margarine spread — sponsored a new series with Peary's Gildersleeve as the central, slightly softened and slightly befuddled focus of a lively new family.
Premiering on August 31, 1941, The Great Gildersleeve moved the title character from the McGees' Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where Gildersleeve now oversaw his late brother-in-law's estate and took on the rearing of his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy Forester (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie. Curiously, while Gildersleeve had occasionally spoken of his (never-present) wife in some Fibber episodes, in his own series the character was a confirmed bachelor.
In a striking forerunner to such later television hits as Bachelor Father and Family Affair, both of which are centered on well-to-do uncles taking in their deceased siblings' children, Gildersleeve was a bachelor raising two children while, at first, administering a girdle manufacturing company (If you want a better corset, of course, it's a Gildersleeve) and then for the bulk of the show's run, serving as Summerfield's water commissioner, between time with the ladies and nights with the boys. The Great Gildersleeve may have been the first broadcast show to be centered on a single parent balancing child-rearing, work, and a social life, done with taste and genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve's now slightly understated pomposity.
Many of the original episodes were co-written by John Whedon, father of Tom Whedon (who wrote The Golden Girls), and grandfather of Deadwood scripter Zack Whedon and Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog).
The key to the show was Peary, whose booming voice and facility with moans, groans, laughs, shudders and inflection was as close to body language and facial suggestion as a voice could get. Peary was so effective, and Gildersleeve became so familiar a character, that he was referenced and satirized periodically in other comedies and in a few cartoons.
