The Magic Hat
Brewing Company is located in
South Burlington,
Vermont. They make
beer.
Good beer. Like most (all?)
New England microbreweries, they focus on heavy amber
ales, the kind that go down well with a bowl of
clam chowder on a cold, rainy day. They have one
stout, but I haven't tried it. I'm fond of their
Blind Faith ale, and I've enjoyed their
Hocus Pocus ale. Their
#9 is not so good: It's flavored with peaches or something ill-advised like that (
iamscoops below says
apricots, and he's right). There are several other varieties, mostly seasonal, but I'm hooked on
Blind Faith so I haven't tried them.
They put annoying,
moronic little rhymes under their bottle caps. Their website (
http://www.magichat.net) is spattered with
moronic little rhymes, too. They have attractive artwork on their
packaging.
For a long time, Magic Hat was available only in
Vermont,
Western Mass, and for some bizarre reason
Baltimore; but now it's easy to find
in the civilized part of the country.
