NIBBLES

• Siptemberfest, a Mad River Valley event featuring a meet-the-brewers dinner Sept. 26 and Vermont beer tasting Sept. 27, isn’t listed above because it’s been sold out since a few minutes after tickets went on sale in August. Hopefuls on the 300-deep waiting list may still have a chance, and if you’re really feeling lucky, go to the event’s Facebook page to see if anyone is selling. If you’ve got tickets, cheers!
