Pigs Prohibited? Sample Vermont Eats

Here is a sample listing from Vermont Eats—this is a sneak preview of a new listing that will be in the next update


Prohibition Pig is known for its large selection of beers (about 24 on tap and over 100 bottles including local and international varieties and three gluten-free) and pub-style fare. You can check out the daily listing of draft beers here. Fans missing the Hurricane Irene-damaged Alchemist Pub will be heartened to learn that the Alchemist's brews are served and most of its staff now work at the Pig.

The Pig loves sweet potatoes—you will find sweet potato fries, sweet potato muffins,  sweet potato bread pudding, sweet potato buns and sweet potato bbq sauce in addition to plenty of non-sweet potato choices from vegie, tempeh and meat burgers to salads, sandwiches, plates and desserts.

Locally made kim chi, root beer, cheeses, and tempeh as well as Vermont-grown fruit and vegetables are used to create the menu options. In addition to its local beers, The Pig's alcohol offerings include Vermont-made Barr Hill Gin, Whistle Pig Rye, and Dunc's Mill Rums.

Located on Waterbury's Main Street right where The Alchemist used to be: 23 South Main Street, Waterbury, VT 05676, 802-244-4120

Honor Earth Every Day

I remember this ad from when I was a kid. Sadly it is still relevant today except the airwaves are not showing ads like this anymore.

EARTH DAY—make it EVERY day.
