Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - what role do methane-producing digesters have in Vermont's energy and food future, and how have craft breweries pursued different paths to success in Vermont?

9:00 - 10:00 am
Lovers of Vermont beer and cider gather Friday in Burlington to enjoy their libations and hear the origin stories of three beverages that grew up on the same Flynn Avenue block in Burlington: Magic Hat beer, Switchback Ale, and Citizen Cider.

Methane-producing digesters take cow manure, food scraps, and other organic material and turn it into natural gas, heat, and even electricity, plus improved fertilizer. Alex DePillis of the Agency of Agriculture will give us the latest on how much we can expect to drive or heat with energy from digesters, and what their limitations are.

10:00 - 10:30 am
Resilience Thoughts, a locally told Extempo story, plus upcoming events related to energy, food, and the local economy at the end of the age of oil.
