Back in 2007-2008, just about every Tuesday night my roommate and I use to go to the Lincoln Inn in Essex Junction. Now it’s known as On Tap. Why Tuesday’s? Well, each night of the week a live band would play, each night was a different genre. Tuesday’s happened to be bluegrass night. 🙂
Bluegrass night was run by Bob Degree who has a band of his own, Bob Degree and the Bluegrass Storm. Various Vermont bluegrass bands would play throughout the month, some that were familiar (Mad Mountain Scramblers) and some not so familiar. We started going every Tuesday and they pretty much knew we were coming, making sure to save us a table and were ready with our usual orders (chicken strips with sweet potato fries and a side of honey mustard). Don’t forget a pint of Blackbeary Wheat or Switchback! It was the best time just hanging out with friends, listening to awesome music and drinking some great brews.
Last time I was home for the holidays, I met up with a few friends at On Tap. I was happy to see that they are still serving microbrews and having live music. There’s really nothing better than that atmosphere.
