The prefix “nano” refers to a very, very small quantity — technically, one billionth of a part of something. But at the fourth annual Vermont NanoFest, it refers to breweries that produce four barrels (124 gallons) of beer or less per batch. At this celebration of small breweries, on Saturday, August 17, at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds, people can sample pours from such brewers as Halyard Brewing of South Burlington, Kickback Brewery of Westford and Brocklebank Craft Brewing of Tunbridge, which organized the festival. Look for tacos, barbecue, pizza, gelato and music, too.
