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.

Perfect gift for the beer enthusiast in your life. My boyfriend and I took the Classic Brew Tour on a Saturday in February. Four other couples were also on the tour. Matt, our fabulous tour guide, picked us up at our hotel (on time!) and took us to Switchback, Queen City, Fiddlehead, and Magic Hat. Matt was very knowledgable about the beers at each stop (most beers, in general) and was happy to answer any and all questions we had. He also gave us some great recommendations for places to check out after the tour...including a great spot to watch the game when we were finished! Each brewery was expecting us and made us feel very welcome. The pizza served at Folino's for lunch was top notch! Do not hesitate to book this tour! Looking forward to our next opportunity to make it to Burlington!! Thanks Matt!!

I have to say, we went up to VT just to tour breweries. When we came across the option for someone to drive us around, you bet that we decided to do that. Our Tour Guide picked us up in the Center of Burlington, as they said that they weren't able to pick us up at the hotel, which seemed odd as the first stop that we went to, was just around the corner from our hotel. But that is my only complaint. We were greeted by Matt, our tour guide, and he was very polite and tried to get the group talking to each other. He also had a lot of neat tips about the area. We went to four breweries and got to tour and taste at all by Fiddlehead...that was just Lunch and tastings...but we got there for a limited release in can...and was able to get the last six pack. And the pizza that we had for lunch was amazing.... After lunch was another brewery and then a ride back to our pickup spot... I have to way, Matt was very knowledgeable about the breweries we visited and the process as well...we discussed a few things about brewing, the beers and other various topics. If you have the chance to do this tour, I would suggest that you do.

We truly enjoyed our experience with Burlington Brew Tours. We absolutely love craft beer, so it was really special to get to see the whole process in action. Lunch at American Flatbread was awesome, and of course lots and lots of beer! Matt was our tour guide, and we really enjoyed him. They pick you up and drop you off from your location, so no need to worry about driving. The Magic Hat Brewery was AWESOME!!! If you're a fan of beer, don't miss out on this tour!
