Long Trail Ale was first sold in 1989. Known as Mountain Brewers back then, the crew brewed in a 45 barrel brewhouse in the basement of the Old Woolen Mill in Bridgewater Corners, Vermont. Back then Vermont was better known for maple syrup than beer.
Today Long Trail offers a family of beers that includes year round beers like Limbo IPA and the original Long Trail Ale, as well as seasonals like Sick Day and Stand Out. The Bush & Barrel series includes Imperial Pumpkin and Imperial Stout, while other limited beers like the Brown Bag series and Farm House series appear occasionally.
A Double-IPA of the cosmic kind, this super-limited offering is brewed with two-row and caramel malts that lay the foundation for hops, hops and more hops.
The truth is out there, so send your taste buds to orbit with the out-of-this-world citrus and pine notes of Galaxy, Mosaic, Citra, Columbus and Ella hops.
