bomb vermont breweries
Leah Fishman
Vermont is known for fall foliage, winter sports, maple syrup, and, perhaps most importantly, bomb local breweries. I’ve lived in Vermont for 10 + years, and I've tasted lots (and lots) of beer. From lakeside gems to mountaintop beauts, here are my absolute fave Vermont breweries across the state.

A quick and super scenic 25 minute drive from downtown Burlington. IPA-heavy selection, perfect for hop-lovers, with rotating seasonal stouts, pale ales, brown ales and porters. 4-packs available at most local grocery stores. While in Hinesburg, make the quick hike up Mount Philo and then grab a bite on the patio at the Hinesburg Public House (if you don't order the brussel sprouts, you're doing it wrong).

Foam Brewers in Burlington, United States

The perfect summertime spot on the Burlington Waterfront, highlights include: 8oz pours, bomb charcuterie and cheese boards, visiting food trucks, and local live music. Their new restaurant, Deep City, is right next door and offers a locally-sourced and vegan-friendly menu. Pro tip: hit up Foam around 7-8pm to snag a seat on the patio and a view of the sunset over Lake Champlain.

Weird Window Brewing, United States

Named after the weird AF "witch windows" that are found on old Vermont farmhouses, South Burlington's Weird Window Brewing is one of the youngest breweries on this list — est. mid-2020 during an actual world-wide pandemic. Weird Window's tap-list values approachability and diversity, offering "something for everybody."
