What To Expect
1
1st Republic Brewing Co
These breweries are sample itineraries only. All schedules are subject to change. The founders of 1st Republic Brewing, Shawn Trout and Mike Drake, both served on active duty and with distinction overseas before returning to Vermont to serve up some of the best Veteran crafted brews. In fact, 1st Republic was voted 2018’s VT Veteran Owned Small Business of the Year. They love everything about beer from brewing it to drinking it to teaching about it and to sharing it. Friends, family, and beer lovers can gather ’round the taproom for fun, games, locally delivered food, and raising a glass to good beer and good times.
2
Queen City Brewery
Founded in 2014 by long-time friends and brewers Paul Hale, Paul Held, Phil Kaszuba, and Maarten van Ryckevorsel, Queen City Brewery brews a variety of traditional ales and lagers, as well as several unique specialty beers with a focus on giving the customer a unique experience with unexpected notes in their beers that they’ve aged and fermented to produce complex flavors unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. (So yeah, we’re pretty much changing your life by bringing you here. No need to thank us.) On our tour, you’ll see why this foursome rose to frothy success as you sip your way through their suds, including a rare style they brew call ‘Steinbeer’ that’s brewed with hot rocks. The process grants less temperature control to the brewer and imparts a smoky, caramel flavor. Yep, we’ll say it again: life-changing.

Zero Gravity Craft Brewery
Founded in 2004, Zero Gravity Brewing was born inside a restaurant that Flatbread head brewer, Destiny Saxon, and Zero Gravity brewmaster, Paul Sayler, created called American Flatbread Burlington Hearth. For years, they brewed exclusively out of the brewpub location, but as their popularity and demand grew, in 2012, they began distributing Zero Gravity for off-premise sales, and two years later, they had fully maxed out the production at the Flatbread Brewpub. Forced to find more space, they moved operations to a beautiful 30-barrel facility in Burlington’s South End Arts District, and in the spring of 2015, the Pine Street Brewery was born.
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

McKayla, our guide, was awesome! We were the only people on the tour so she was able to adapt to our interests and knowledge level. This was my first City Brew Tour and it was a great experience. I would go on one again in my own city for sure.

If you're in search of an exceptional brewery tour with a guide who not only educates but also brings a fantastic vibe, your destination should undoubtedly be Burlington City Brew Tours. Last week, my partner and I had the most incredible brew tour experience with them, and it exceeded all our expectations. Our guide, Nick, was the heart and soul of the day. Right from the outset, he made us feel like we were in for something special. His warm welcome and infectious enthusiasm for craft brewing set the tone for the day. Nick's knowledge of the local breweries and the intricacies of the brewing process was truly impressive. He actively encouraged our questions and led insightful conversations that enriched our experience. We were lucky enough to be the only two people taking the tour that day. Nick not only personalized the experience to our liking and ensured that we were sampling a diverse range of beers that matched our tastes but he also got us out of our comfort zone and I ended up loving the beers that I would have never picked before. The Burlington City Brew Tour was undeniably the highlight of our trip, and we eagerly anticipate exploring more cities with your tours in the future!
