The Winooski taproom and brewery announced Jan. 25 on Instagram the rink was open for customers while grabbing a drink and enjoying a bite — which was a burger special on Tuesdays and barbecue Wednesdays in January. The rectangular rink features a round fire pit at the center and lights strung over the top to illuminate evening skates.

Four Quarters is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 9 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at its location at 70 Main St. in Winooski. More information at www.4qbc.com.
