We Love Good Press

Some say “any press is better than no press” but, lets be honest, good press is better than no press, and bad press is, well, bad.  Luckily, we’ve hardly seen any bad press out there.  But when there’s good press, we like to pass it on.  So here ya go!

Brunch, Three Penny-Style

We’re excited to let you know that this coming Sunday, March 7 the Three Penny Taproom will be taking over one of Vermont’s best breakfast spots (Montpelier’s very own Kismet) in order to bring you Punk Rock Brunch.  As for references bellow to “Raider Nation”, well, that’s the last time we leave a project soley in the hands of Scott & Joey….

The Kismet gals needed a little vaca- so we asked our friends at THREE PENNY TAPROOM to take Kismet over for a day so we could head North– & they said YES!

Beer!

Boy, have I been neglecting this news feed.  Sorry!  Just to get you up to speed: 

-We have a cask of Berkshire Brewing Co’s Raspberry Strong Ale (8% ABV) on right now; yummers!

-Next Thursday, March 4th (march forth?) we’ll be hosting a whole night of Berkshire Brewing Co, featuring a bunch of their great brews and another really special cask.

-Our bottle list is in the process of being slightly re-vamped, so come check out some of our new exciting offerings (I’ll get to updating the bottle list on our website soon enough).  A few new Cantillons, a couple new Mikkeller’s, you know, nothing special (!)

-In the weeks and months ahead VT will finally see (and we’ll be able to get) Montreal’s amazing Dieu du Ciel on draft, Colorado’s Avery Brewing Co, and even Mikkeller’s on tap!  You should be as excited as we are.

Happy Friday!  See y’all this afternoon, I hope.

Drink Good Beer, H.E.L.P Haiti’s Poorest

We are very, very excited about this Thursday’s Smuttynose Brewing Night here at the Taproom.  As if it weren’t enough that we’ll be pouring 6 or 7 different Smuttynose brews, we’ve all been as moved and concerned with the devistation in Haiti as a lot of you, so we decided to take 100% of sales from the cask that they’ll be sending our way and donate it to H.E.L.P (Hatian Education & Leadership Program).

H.E.L.P. is a great program that offers university scholarships to Haitian high schoolers who would otherwise never be able to afford a higher education.  Of course, the devistation from the recent earthquake in Haiti is mind-numbing.  But we’re also aware that Haiti has for decades been one of the poorest countries in the world, and in fact the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.  Money and resources are obviously needed in their re-building efforts, but as a more long-term solution to Haiti’s problems, H.E.L.P. provides Haiti’s brightest kids with the opportunity to become highly educated, which in turn helps land them good-paying jobs, which in turn helps lift families and communities out of the cycle of poverty.

Now that’s something to drink to.  Cheers!

Yum!

It’s Firkin Thursday here at Three Penny, and today we’ve got Otter Creek’s Russian Imperial Stout, with oak chips.  $6 a glass and as delicious as anything could be.
