Rachel Krevetski, our wonderful Science Department lab tech, used to be the testing guru at Long Trail Brewery in Bridgewater Corners, Vermont. Rachel was kind enough to arrange a tour of the brewery and its testing laboratory. Afterwards we dined at the brewery's tavern and those over 21 were treated to a tasting with the head of the laboratory, Brandon Mayes.
