Mango Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 I am heading to Stowe this weekend. I haven't been and I do not see a Bills Backers Bar on the interwebs. Anybody have a recommendations on where I can watch the Bills game?
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 https://www.sunsetgrillevt.com/ My son and I watched the Bills game at this place after one of his Sunday hockey games up in Stowe. Good food, they have the Sunday Ticket, and tons of TVs. If you decide to go here, get there early and throw a $20 spot to the bartender to get the Bills game on one of their big screens. They have 30 something TVs, but only 4 or 5 large ones. Good luck!

On the local beer comment, to the OP, make sure you get a Hill Farmstead Edward if you like IPAs.

We're division rivals and right on the Pats' tail. I already sent a sternly worded email to WBZ. Edited October 16, 2019 by PromoTheRobot 2 2

If you're in Waterbury, the Resovoir is nice, has a few TVs and some legit good wings.

I am sure I will have all the Heady Topper I can handle before kick off.... Thanks for the help guys! 1

Good call on the Hill Farmstead. I like everything I have had from them. Ever had Grimm's Magnetic Tape? Good stuff. I got a budddy that goes Treehouse once in a while too, phenomenal beer.

The Alchemist is a great restaurant,and Heady Topper is a top notch beer,and hard to come by. Their other beers are great too. The Shed is fun, and has good beer as well. Stowe is some of top skiing on the east coast, with lots of secret glades trails. They won't be open for another month though I think. Hike the notch. The Canadians used to run booze through Smugglers Notch. It's near peak folliage here in CT, so VT might still have leaves. Partake
CSBill Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) Just in Stowe two weeks ago, a great time of the year to visit. And looks like a fun race, good luck. Edited October 16, 2019 by CSBill
Westside Madness Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 I was in Lake Placid the first week of September for a funeral unfortunately. Not too far from Stowe. Good country up there. Been meaning to head east into VT for a day trip while up there. I love the Lake Placid IPA. They might have it given the proximity.

I just moved to Saratoga a few months ago. I’ve done whiteface more times than I can count. Plus Killington, Jay, and Gore a bunch. Being right in the center of it this year is going to be awesome! thanks brother!
Augie Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 Of little or no help to OP as to the question posed, but we went to Stowe on our honeymoon almost 35 years ago. It was February, and we already lived at a beach resort, so this made sense. Stayed at a condo at Topnotch I think, but we found the Whip Bar & Grill at the Green Mountain Inn early in our trip. This caused me to just now look it up, and they STILL have the blueberry apple crisp on the menu, after all these years! We kept going back daily once we found that. Yum! If you have a free moment, and are looking for a treat....... ?

I’ll have to keep my eye out at the beer store.

It's frickin' crazy.

wolfpack78 Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 My wife and I have been going to this area for a couple days each Fall for the last 5 years. Was just there a few weeks ago - beautiful area and as everyone has said the beer is amazing. Best bar in the area is Blackback Pub - it's about 20 minutes south in Waterbury. By far the best draft list in town. They have at least one tv there, I watched some playoff baseball as we waited for our dinner reservations at Hen of the Wood, so if there's not a Patriots game they'd probably put it on (unfortunately tons of Pats fans up there). Doc Ponds has a couple of tvs and a good draft list too.
