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.

We had a blast! Matt was the best guide, very knowledgeable about all things beer and the breweries.
I would do this again!

I planned this tour for my fiancé who is a big time craft beer junkie. Myself, not so much. I heard from a friend that this tour was a lot of fun and very informative so I figured we'd give it a try. For starters, our pick was right on time and Matt, our driver, was super friendly as soon as you stepped on the bus. We quickly drove around and picked up the other attendees and were on our way. Matt was extremely knowledgeable of all the breweries we visited. He kept the tour moving so smoothly and was a HUGE part of why everyone had a great time. The group we were with was a blast and it was nice to meet new people. The lunch at Folinos was delicious! As far as the brew itself, as mentioned I am not really a beer drinker and I left the tour with a growler of Hodad from Fiddlehead. Their porter! Never in a million years would I have thought that would have happened. By far my favorite but all the beers were awesome. Such a great way to spend your day. Matt was a wonderful tour guide. I would highly recommended this to any newbies visiting the area. My fiancé loved the tour and we can wait to visit Burlington again.

We had a great day on the Burlington brew tour. We visited four different breweries and had a great, really delicious pizza lunch! Our guide Matt was very knowledgeable about beer and also shared a lot of interesting tidbits about Vermont and Burlington. We felt the price was very affordable- we would have easily spent what we did on the tickets if we had tried to do everything ourselves, plus by doing the tour we had a safe ride and learned a bunch!
