What To Expect

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.

The Sip of Burlington Brew Tour was a ton of fun. Out guide, Kianna, was fun to talk with, very knowledgeable, and got us from one brewery to the next safely. Couldn't imagine having a better guide on a trip like this. All the beer we had was delicious and we got to check behind the scenes of some cool breweries. However, be aware that the trips may not be exactly as advertised online. On our trip we went to Weird Window Brewing, 1st Republic Brewing, and The Vermont Pub & Brewery. The tour we booked through Tripadvisor promised 4 breweries with "Both daytime and evening tours include a meal at a favorite Burlington restaurant: have a beer-pairing and lunch at Folino’s Pizza or sit down to a beer-focused dinner at Nectar’s." We only went to 3 of the 4 promised breweries and didn't get the promised dinner. My girlfriend and I didn't eat prior to the tour and, consequently, found ourselves pretty drunk and hungry by the end of the night. The other 5 couples in the bus with us were all under the same assumption, that there would be food. If the trip had been advertised as "check out 3 breweries, no food included" I'd have happily given the trip 5/5. Giving it 4/5 only due to Tripadvisor's description not being accurate (would have eaten beforehand if we had known).

Thank you for leaving such a detailed review, we appreciate all the feedback! It is great hearing that your time around Burlington with Kianna was overall a good and fun experience. And thanks for bringing Trip Advisor's advertisement of our tour to our notice. It appears the Original Burlington Brew Tour is being advertised instead of the Sip Tour, and we will work with them to remedy this issue as soon as possible. If you would like to reach out to us at [email protected] to discuss your tour, we would be happy to hear from you. Cheers!
