My partner and I purchased our tickets through a fundraiser last year by the Central Vermont Humane Society where we adopted our dogs. We had no idea what to expect on the tour. We both like beer, and we only live 2 hours away, so this was a good trip for us. We stayed at the Starlight Inn and Lyft drive us. We had an address to meet the van for the tour. We happened to see the tour van parked at the address for the previous tour, so that made us confident it was our destination. Otherwise, you think an exit door for Ben & Jerry's on Cherry Street is the address. Anyway, the van arrived on time. Matt presented himself to us with exuberance and humor. After you have your licenses viewed, you join others who were picked up at another site. Matt was knowledgeable about the history of beer. He was funny as he drove us to our first destination. We introduced ourselves and announced our preferred beer type. We also gave an account of our best beer experience. Matt is suited for entertainment. He chose three to four beers at each of the 3 breweries that would best fulfill the group and at least one that would be different than any of the others. I think he did a very good job choosing for us. Since I don't have more than two alcoholic drinks in a week, I had to remind myself to pace myself. Water was easily accessible. I don't know what goes into choosing which 3 breweries we go to, but I know they differed than the other tour going at the same time. Our favorite was Weird Window. The tour began at 5:30 and ended a little after 9. We received pretzels to share at the first place. Maybe if we asked for food at the other places, it would have been provided. I should've brought a portable snack with me. Eventually, we realized Matt was in training as Todd was along as support and review for the last two places. Matt did an excellent job making beer choices. He also was entertaining, funny, and knowledgeable. I learned a lot on the tour from Matt and others on the tour. I loved the tour because of Matt. Great job!
