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.

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.

An amazing dinner and brew tour, especially for the price. We would have never seen and tasted so much without the help of our guide, Rob. He was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. It was rooted in culture even more than we expected, which my fiancé and I loved. Plus, they drive! No need to worry about spending money on cabs or driving intoxicated..they took care of that for us. I HIGHLY recommend. My tip is to register via the brew tours site directly so you receive all of their communications prior to your trip. Unfortunately trip advisor does not adequately communicate with you or provide the itinerary.

I highly recommend City Brew Tours! Kevin planned a super-fun, very interesting tour with four stops, ending with delicious pizza at the Barnyard. Not only did we get to try a lot of unique craft beers, but we also learned a lot about how beer is made, etc. It was awesome having our own private tour bus to take us from one location to the next. I would definitely redo this experience again with a new selection of breweries!

We have been on previous beer tours in other cities and none of them compare to this one! Rob was a great tour guide who filled our drive time with knowledge about the history of beer and facts about Burlington. The dinner that was provided was delicious and we learned about beer pairings. I would 100% recommend this tour!
