After evaluating the available information and timelines ahead, as well as with new guidance handed down by Vermont’s Governor Phil Scott prohibiting lodging reservations through 15 June, we have no choice other than to postpone our Friendships and Explorations Festival, originally slated for 13 June 2020, to Saturday, 1 August, 2020, in lieu of our annual Festival of Farmhouse Ales.

As of now, tickets issued for the formerly scheduled June Friendships and Explorations event will be honored on Saturday, 1 August 2020. Tickets are fully transferable; thus, we will not be issuing refunds at this time. In the spirit of the events we host, we do encourage those of you who will need to transfer tickets to pass them along as face-value, of course!

Given current conditions and trending, it is entirely possible that we may not be able to hold this Festival in August. It is possible that our brewery and retail operations could still be closed. In the event that we must cancel our 10th Anniversary Friendship and Explorations Festival, we will then plan for and announce how ticket issues will be handled. The unfortunate circumstance of selling physical tickets this year—a great idea at the time—creates a number of challenges to provide refunds in a straightforward manner! In any case, given whatever delays and postponements, we are confident that we will host a Tenth Anniversary Celebration at some point in the coming years… perhaps our Tenth Anniversary will occur in our 11th year. More to come…

More information will be posted on the event in August as soon as we have a clearer picture of all that’s taking place. We will make a firm decision and announcement by 15 June.

Thank you all for your understanding and best wishes.
