Planning a trip to Burlington, VT in a month and hoping to hit The Alchemist and Lawson’s. Anyone have any other recs?

 

Von Trapp is a nice spot with great views, and their beers range from decent to good. Just an FYI for Alchemist since I messed it up a couple weeks ago when I was there, they close at like 6pm so make sure you go during the day.

Also Ben and Jerry's

Edit: Also, the Prohibition Pig in Waterbury is a good spot for food and beers, and there's a beer store across the street from them with a bunch of VT and other NE beers for sale

 

That’s absolutely absurd

 

Ben & Jerry's was #1 on our list haha.

Thanks for the recs and watchout for Alchemist! Appreciate ya!

 

That beer store is fantastic, I stop there every time I’m up that way. Lots of good international stuff too the last time I was there, granted it’s been a few years.

 

The Beverage Warehouse in Winooski is my personal go-to spot for local beer if I'm ever in the Burlington area. Tend to always have the hyped stuff like Heady, worth checking out imo

 

foam and Burlington beer company

Champlain orchards might be a little far but if you like cider pick some up if you see it in the store

Take a walk around shelburne farms

 

Our hotel is right near Foam, so that was gonna be an easy nightcap spot for me and my wife. Shelburne looks sick. Thanks!

 

If you're planning to go to the alchemist just hit up Hill Farmstead as well.

 

Dang. Track 7 was a staple brewery out here. Them closing right after Device went under a few weeks ago is deeply troubling.

 

Fuck

 

Writing was on the wall. We just lost Device too

 

We distribute T7 and did distribute Device.

 

Condolences. Breweries and taprooms closing have been brutal this year. I think Golden Road shut down their taproom not long ago, and the sudden closure of Device was wild. I thought T7 was safe considering the Natomas taproom was always packed and they seemed to distribute pretty widely.

Hope something is able to come around and replace T7 and Device for you. Geisthaus opened up recently, and they seem to be doing pretty well.

 

my old college roommate is in the mug club there. Insane spot. Lagers go insane
