Whetstone Beer Brews Pints for Vermont's State Parks
COURTNEY LAMDIN for Seven Days
Published May 17, 2023 at 10:00 a.m.
The founders of Whetstone Beer in Brattleboro have always been fond of public parks. For the brewery’s 10th anniversary last summer, the company rebranded with a motif that mimics the iconic national park travel posters that were created during the New Deal era to ramp up tourism.
It’s only fitting, then, that Whetstone’s newest project honors the natural spaces in its own backyard. The company plans to brew two limited-edition beers each year that are inspired by Vermont state parks. Dubbed Pints for Parks and launched this month, the project will funnel $1 from every draft beer or four-pack sold to Vermont Parks Forever, a nonprofit that fundraises for park improvements and provides free visitor passes to underserved communities.

A Promising but Controversial New Depression Treatment Is Now More Accessible in Vermont
A primary care doctor at the University of Vermont Health Network will soon start treating depression with a mind-altering drug that’s shown promise in helping people who don’t respond to traditional medicine.
The medication — known as esketamine and sold by Johnson & Johnson under the brand name Spravato — is chemically similar to ketamine, a substance that’s been used in medical settings as an anesthetic, on the streets as a party drug and, more recently, as an off-label treatment for mood disorders.

Andrew Tripp Is an All-Star Union Organizer — and a Kick-Ass Cross-Country Coach, Too
Referring to the final turn, the U-32 coach said, “It’s going to hurt very badly, but only for 15 seconds, OK?”
Normally, Tripp, who is 52, would have been running with them. But he had a cold, so he reverted to his race-day role of sideline encouragement, which he delivers in an emotional register that will stay imprinted in their amygdalae into adulthood.
“Amy, let’s go, girl! Faster!”
