  1. Long Trail Brewing - Bridgewater Corners

TripAdvisor/Long Tail Brewing

TripAdvisor/Long Trail Brewing Long Trail Brewery has been around since 1989. As one of the more seasoned breweries, Long Trail helped put Vermont on the map for the beer scene - proving that maple syrup isn’t the only thing we have on tap.

  1. The Bobcat Cafe and Brewery - Bristol

Anthony W./TripAdvisor

Ryan Calvi/Google reviews Bobcat Cafe & Brewery is located in the heart of downtown Bristol, Vermont. The cozy digs make it feel more like a restaurant/upscale pub than a brewery, but don’t be fooled, they still serve amazing craft beers that they brew themselves. And as a bonus, they have an awesome food menu to pair your drinks with.

  1. Fiddlehead Brewing Company - Shelburne

Jim Cep/Google reviews The tasting room for Fiddlehead is located inside a warehouse structure with a strong communal feel. Head there with a group or make new ones at one of their large communal dining tables.

  1. Ten Bends Beer - Hyde Park

TripAdvisor/Jean-Maxime Labonte

Denis E./TripAdvisor What initially started as a collaboration between two brewers in a shed in the deep north woods of Vermont, has now become a 1400-square foot three barrel brewery. The brewery offers tastings of any of their 5 beers on tap and offers growlers to go.

  1. Magic Hat Brewing - South Burlington
