Woodstock Station book-ended the festival with an impressive (and beer infused) dinner on Friday night, complimenting each dish with the product of a participating brewery and finishing the festival off on Sunday with a tour of the Woodstock Station brewery.
The building itself started as a 10 room inn and then grew to include a transported half of the old Lincoln train station as a restaurant, bar, and dining area. In 2013, they finished another gigantic addition adding the new brewery, a banquet hall, and additional bar and dining areas, all decked out in vintage and rustic décor from the area.
The brewery, which is also partially solar powered, began in 1995 and since and still has the same brew-master today. Their bottles are currently distributed in MA, NH, ME, and CT and they are well known for their 4000' IPA and their Pig's Ear brown ale.
Specializing in ales enables the brewery to produce their beer in 5-6 days using the open-topped tanks pictured here. The beer is cooled in these tanks while the yeast ferments.
Pat, head of the bottling line at the brewery, worked throughout the whole festival. Here he is pictured pouring samples of Woodstock's different brews to VIP ticket holders after the brewery tour and a long, beer-filled weekend of fun.
