Kicking off our list is Zero Gravity Craft Brewery. They have much more than just a cool name; this brewery located in Burlington has a lineup of beers that arguably no other brewery in Vermont can match. Our favorites are Cone Head and Little Wolf.
Founded in 2010, this brewery in the Northeast Kingdom has roots that span all the way back to the end of the 18th century. The legacy of the Hill family was formed long ago, with the founding of two towns in the Northeast Kingdom, and the first tavern in Greensboro in 1807. The brewery achieves the rare balance of unique taste and tradition in their handcrafted brews. To learn more about their story and see their list of beers, check them out online HERE.
This relatively new brewery in Burlington, founded in 2016, brings together the perfection of a handcrafted brew with plenty of foam. As they like to say, "great beer has always sat under foam", and their beer is no exception! Check them out HERE to learn more about this "frothy" brewery in Vermont.
It's hard to have spent much time in Vermont and not heard about the widely known and distinguished Heady Topper beer from the Alchemist. This double IPA beer will knock your socks off! It's one of those things you just have to try. Follow the Alchemist on Facebook for current info about their brewery and beer lineup.
Lawson's Finest strives to make the freshest beer imaginable, and they focus on the classic beers, like IPAs and Lagers, but they also make unique brews like their maple ales. For more information about their selection, visit them online HERE.
Switchback is a Vermont tradition since first entering the brew scene in 2002. Since then they have had a lasting impact on everyone who has ever tried their truly unique and great tasting beers. Switchback's staple and wildly successfully Ale (pictured here) accomplishes a balanced and extremely drinkable pour that is one-of-a-kind beer, and yet a beer for every occasion.
