Very, very likely to be a beer pairing dinner at Mount Snow on Friday October 11th as well.
At least that's what they told those of us who went to their last beer pairing dinner the Friday night of Labor Day weekend just before their Brewfest. Lawson's was the brewery that night. And having been to 5 or 6 of Mount Snow's beer pairing dinners over the last few years, I can't recommend them enough! The food is AMAZING, and the opportunity to socialize with often the Brewer's themselves as well as the chefs and friends is great!
