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.
3
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.

My wife and I took the tour with Kevin. Kevin was extremely knowledgeable about the Vermont beer scene and had countless stories about the different breweries (local and across the US). We started out at the pickup point. Helpful hint: They give you an address of 115 Cherry Street for pickup which is actually on the corner of church street across from the Ben and Jerry’s. Our Uber driver dropped us off down the street at a different location and my GPS also could not locate the 115 address either. Kevin was very nice and it was easy to spot and quickly got us situated in the van while we waited for the rest of the party to arrive. We only had one more person join us which was nice and a more intimate setting. We started by getting to know Kevin and the other party on the way to the first brewery. I won’t give away the breweries but all of them were good and I think the one I enjoyed the most was Queen City Brewery with all the German beers they made. We did stop for some pizza and let me tell you it was really, really good! Overall, it was a great evening trying out beers from different breweries, eating good pizza, and sharing stories. I highly recommend that you take this tour with Kevin if you are in Burlington!

I took this tour on a Monday night and had an absolute blast. Kevin, our driver and guide, was extremely knowledgeable about all the beers on the tour. He was also great at recommending other places to visit in the area. I left my sunglasses in the van at the end of the tour and he even drove them back to me... such great customer service. I highly recommend this tour and would suggest that if you are spending some time in Burlington, you take it early on your vacation. The recommendations will help you plan the rest of your time there.
