Look at Willey’s Tuesday for a great collaboration between two Greensboro institutions and congratulations to Willey’s for 125 years in the same family.

In honor of the 125th Anniversary of our beloved community country store, we will offer this India Pale Ale in 16-ounce cans exclusively at Willey’s General Store in Greensboro, Vt.

This will only be available at Willey’s beginning on Tuesday, 12 August—not even in our retail shop!

The Willey family has been continuously operating this town institution since 1900, and prior to that, it has been the site of the town's general store since 1831. It remains family-owned and operated, now in its fifth generation. For a century and a quarter, it has stood at the heart of Greensboro—a gathering place, outfitter, and cornerstone of the community.

We offer this in celebration of its enduring presence and the people who keep its spirit alive.

It also offers a tip of the hat to general stores around the state, which provide essential services to communities across Vermont, acting as the lifeblood in so many small towns.

Please visit Willey’s beginning Tuesday, 12 August, to celebrate with them and enjoy this modest tribute.
