Few brewpubs can have a view to rival that of Trapp’s Family lodge brewery’s terrace, opening up on the mountainous areas near Stowe, totally reminiscent of Austria. You would not come for that reason alone, but the lagers are also clean, crisp examples of their styles that have not quite rivalled the best that I’ve had in Austria, but are very honest examples. Sadly, the prime location and touristy nature rimes with dramatically high prices. 15 minutes away, at the great Alchemist pub, you can get a pint of awesome pale ale for barely 4 dollars. Here, we paid 6.50 for a lesser beer. The food is limited to bakery stuff like sandwiches, salads, pastries, but very good for what it is, although again, you would not expect less at the very expensive prices it goes for. We will come from time to time for the land, but it’s not a detour that the beer merits in itself, as much as I like Austrian lagers.

A strange place to be on a rainy Thursday morning at 9am, but they are serving beer then! Unfortunately they don’t serve any of the hot food or sandwiches until later, so you have to stick with cold sandwiches or breakfast items. There is a small area to eat-in (a few wooden booths) plus an outside deck (but it was raining when we stopped). I split a sampler of their beers (dunkel, baltic porter, vienna, helles) and did not really enjoy any of them. So it was a disappointing stop, but maybe if I came back when the hot food was served and they had some different beers on, it would have been better. Nice view of the mountains though.

This place is more of an Austrian deli than what you would expect from a brewpub. That being said, the food is really top quality, the service very good, the location outstanding and the brews are spot on. Alan the brewer really does a great job with his lagers

Visited the Brewery and Restaurant during their grand opening. 4 taps in the restaurant upstairs (the brewery is in the basement). Only serving beer for the Trapp Brewery and all are lagers (Vienna, Helles, Golden, Bock)... and all were excellent. Food was pretty expensive, but very good.
