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.
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Our group of 12 took the Burlington Brewery Tour with Ian our guide. Ian had lots of information about beer and the history around it. He has a great sense of humor with a world of knowledge about beer which incorporated the world of films also.. This was an adventure that was more than we expected for a fun day. There is such a variety of beer to taste. I came away with a new liking for two specialty beers at our first stop. I am not a usual beer drinker but I now have a better understanding of what I would order for the time of day or situation. Great experience! Our stop for pizza gave us all a chance to try different pizzas that we probably would not have usually ordered. The pizza was very good. The restaurant was most accommodating to make sure that everyone had a pizza they would enjoy.

Me and my sister took a trip through NH and VT and booked a couple Brewery tours and planned to visit some on our own. This was such a fun tour and our guide Kevin was great! There was a rowdy party of older ladies with us and he handled them like a pro and kept us all in line and still having fun. He was very knowledgeable and had a great way of interacting with all of us on the tour. Not only would I recommend the tour, but I will probably go on it again soon! Side note - Also LOVE how they have this in other cities, as me and my sister take a trip every year, so we can take this tour on other locations as well, and we definitely will!
