Apres Ski: It’s Hard to Beat a Single Chair Ale

There’s no doubt that the enjoyment of a nice beer at the end of a ski day is often a wonderful, if not essential, way to make the transition from skiing back to normal life. It’s so great to bask in the euphoria of the skiing experience, reminisce with a few friends and let your endorphins settle down before doing much of anything, really. To many skiers, a beer, apres-ski, is what makes a good ski day complete.

The New York Times Magazine recently published a nice little story about the Single Chair Ale, brewed by Vermont’s Magic Hat Brewery for Mad River Glen. If you haven’t been out skiing this season at Mad River Glen, now is the time to check it out, if only for the beer! Mad River Glen is 100% open right now, with its huge snowpack enabling skiers to explore nearly every nook and cranny of the classic and beautiful Vermont ski area.

    First visit to Mad River Barn last Saturday, for an après cold malt beverage – Single Chair Ale.

    Great compliment to another epic day of skiing the MRG trees and steeps, with some awesome freinds.

    Learned all about the creation of Single Chair Ale firsthand from a brewer.

    A day for the record for sure!
