"Sigh" this one is no longer — check out the cannery instead. Or, if you're in the mood for BBQ, the Prohibition Pig occupies this spot now, and there's Alchemist beer on tap.
It gets super crowded, so if you want to partake of the Bobcat's delicious culinary offerings on a weekend, make a reservation in advance or be prepared to stand at the bar.
There's a wide selection of beers at this brewery's Vermont outpost — its city home is in Boston. Check out the BBQ festival here for one weekend every summer.
A hidden gem — off the beaten path, but it's always crowded because, well, the beers are phenomenal.
The brewing setup occupies a shed at the back of the Norwich Inn, and the brews can be found inside the quaint main building.
The upstairs deck is a nice place to eat lunch and drink the six-beer sampler.
Otter Creek brews Wolaver's Organic Ales as well, and as of Nov. 2011 will be producing Shed beer too. Grab all three — and a meal, if you're hungry — in their tasting room.
CLOSED. Head here to mourn the loss of delicious brews in Stowe, or head down to Otter Creek in Middlebury, which now makes Shed beer (using the same recipes, of course!).
It's only open on Saturday afternoons, with tours at 1 and 2 p.m. Free samples!
Excellent sourdough pizzas with all sorts of topping choices. Beer is reasonably priced, too.
A popular hangout for college kids and locals, it's often crowded here on weekends, and you can catch live bands some evenings in the summer.
Go on Fridays to score some Lawson's Finest Liquids (you can also get it on tap at a couple of area restaurants). But hurry — it sells out quickly!
Solid and creative brews – Finnish Sahti, "Chewbocka," and "Sasquash" pumpkin ale, just to name a few. Go early and often, since the beer list changes. Oh, and the flatbread is also delicious.
Their signature beer is "Sunshine and Hoppiness." This brewery is also the home of the American Brewers Guild, so check it out if you're looking to take your homebrews to the next level!
Open Thursday and Friday evenings, plus Sunday (but only 9am to 12pm, so get there early).
Great IPA, and the sap beer is phenomenal. If you're hungry, grab a growler and head over to Folino's next door for some pizza.
Most common question overheard in this store: "Do you have any [Heady Topper/Lawson's]?" But for the most popular brews, get there when the delivery gets there, otherwise you may be out of luck.
