74 /100 112 LAKE ST Cozy brewpub right by the marina on Lake Champlain. Small selection of tap offerings (9 taps, 7 IPA’ s, a sour and a lager). No flights; two pour sizes (8 or 12 ounces). Spacious inside bar and tables, and some outdoor tables with umbrellas. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Good stuff. |
76 /100 716 PINE STREET Large, cozy space on Pine Street just outside of center of town. Directly across street from Queen City Brewing. Offering 11 taps on our visit. Mostly they’re more well known offerings like Green State Lager, Madonna, Conehead and Little Wolf. A few additional IPA’s and lagers as well. Fair amount of seating between the Beerhall, pub and outside area. They also serve food, but we did not sample anything as we just came from dinner in town. Nice vibe. Kid and pet friendly. |
70 /100 144 COLLEGE STREET Nice place in the centre of Burlington. They did 3 oz. samples for 1.50$ each. Beers were average but all worth the tick price. |
80 /100 112 LAKE ST Very nice place with excellent view to the lake. Closely related to Deep City next door, where you can go eat and beer menu is all Foam but beers are different from the bar, so be sure to check out both tap menus. |
80 /100 112 LAKE ST Top notch brewery in Burlington. Right along the lake. There is a parking lot but also some street parking. Outdoor and indoor seating. Beers are largely IPAs but they have a few others. In any case, very good beer! They have some snacks but not a place to get food. Music, no TVs. For beer, definitely a good stop.
|
78 /100 716 PINE STREET Chill brewpub in Burlington. Lots of outside covered seating, didn’t really explore the indoor seating but seemed plenty of that as well. All ordering is done at the bar. They have a decent tap list plus some bottles (and cocktails, cider, and wine). Beers were good, maybe nothing crazy good, but solid. They have a good food menu, emphasis on vegan options. I had the bread and butter appetizer, quite good and the rice bowl which was large and tasty. Probably one of the better food menus amongst Burlington breweries. While the beer was maybe not as crazy, plenty of options, definitely a place to stop.
|
68 /100 160 FLYNN AVE Decent stop if in area for more than a day. Beers are fine. Parking, service. |
72 /100 180 FLYNN AVE Uncommon number of beers on tap. Name the style its here. Most of the beers booted with adjuncts like maple syrup,oats,chocolate. Watch for canning dates in the retail.giant space with long bar. |
74 /100 112 LAKE ST Called in on a hot sunny afternoon, our one taproom visit in Burlington. Very happening place, full of groups and couples in their 20s and 30s filling the small-ish seating area out front. Bar staff seemed very busy. Inside there's a fair amount of space, with a stage that suggests live music in the evening. Another yard out back with tables, but didn't venture that far. Decent range of their beers, no guests apart from a couple of ciders. Haze-centric. No flights, 8oz minimum. Decent range of merch. Quite liked the two beers I had. Reckon this gets quite lively in the evening. |
78 /100 180 FLYNN AVE Massive place. Fortunately pretty empty on a Monday just before tourist season. Tons and tons and tons of beers on. tap, listed by style. Sadly you cannot choose a flight of your own, you can only choose from four set flights - and they were out of one beer on. one of the flights so they wouldn't serve that one at all. Beers were tasty enough but not overly exciting; food was more or less the same. Friendly efficient service. Worth a stop when it's not too busy. |
64 /100 802 bws (Beer Store) 1127 NORTH AVE SUITE 5 Visited in October 2022 on a fall color road trip. Decent beer selection, but nothing crazy, and the ambiance was unremarkable. |
74 /100 716 PINE STREET Visited here after Queen City. Night and day. New, vibrant space, large patio, variety of styles. Bustling compared to Queen City across the street. Parking is hard to find. |
82 /100 180 FLYNN AVE 2022 New England Beer Tour, Stop 11 of 12, Oct. 16, dinner. An enormous, newly renovated (120 years old) facility that was previously the Vermont Hardware Company. It has easy parking and shows off all it has to offer through a mostly insane drone video online at https://www.burlingtonbeercompany.com/visit-us. The beers I tried among the 20-or-so on tap were all well done (flights available) and their food menu had much variation and tasted great. A large merchandise area serves both T shirts and carryout beverages. |
86 /100 716 PINE STREET 2022 New England Beer Tour, Stop 10 of 12, Oct. 15, late afternoon. After a bit of RateBeer-induced confusion (RateBeer includes the Zero Gravity name in the title of the St. Paul Street location of American Flatbread brewpub, and that site is rated much higher than the Zero Gravity Brewery on Pine Street. But now, in 2022, St. Paul is an American Flatbread brewpub serving its own creations -- though it does have a past affiliation to Zero Gravity's owners -- while Pine is the full Zero Gravity operation. Confused yet?), we settled in at a table on Pine Street and were greatly enamored by all the taps beers we tried, the friendly staff, and the brewer who patiently explained to my friend why all the IPAs he drinks with a certain hop do NOT have to suck. Do stop at Pine Street beer hall. There are 10 taps available plus many bottles and cans, coffee and waffles in the first part of the day, sandwiches and snacks later in the day, convenient parking throughout, and a great deal of indoor and outdoor seating (not a traditional beer hall). |
70 /100 160 FLYNN AVE Next door to BBC, this is an old school brewery that still makes good beers. Located on the side of the plant, the taproom is midsized. Flight of 4 for about 10$ (preselected), maybe more if customized. I appreciate their smoked beer line quite a bit. Food is limited to hot dogs. Good service and plenty of parking. |
80 /100 180 FLYNN AVE This place is top notch. Located next to Switchback, this huge taproom has plenty of parking. Lots of seating but it can get quite packed. The beer is top notch, from 4 to 8$ per 5 ounces, but they have weird policies on tastes, 25 cents each for an ounce (1$ for big beers) but maximum of 2 per visit. May or may not be enforced. Food menu is quite nice and eclectic, and decently priced. Had the duck chili cup for 5$. Will come back. |
74 /100 703B PINE STREET My second visit in 10 years. Right in front of Zero Gravity, this place is another good option, maybe not as famous, but service was good, beers were well made and varied (rauch, tripel, etc.) and good prices on flights (4 X 4 for 10$). Only have pretzels but they allow take out from Pizza 44 in the same building (excellent..they also have a decent tap list). Well worth it. |
78 /100 716 PINE STREET Cool place off of Pine St, within 10 minutes walk from 3 other breweries. Place is huge, modern, and has 2 dining areas. Service was good, friendly. Beers are solid, nothing too extravagant, but well made. No flights, but 8 ounces pours for 4 to 5$, and they will give you small tastes if you ask. Food menu is very interesting with exotic sandwiches, salads, and snacks. |
64 /100 144 COLLEGE STREET Been here a few times since 2005. This was a mecca of IPAs, birthplace of NEIPA. Still a fun place to visit if you are in downtown BTV, with a cool English pub vibe and good pub food, but the beer was a little underwhelming, with diacetyl and butterscotch where it does not belong. Still, very cheap flights, at 1.50$ per 3 ounces pours. Visit for historical purposes. |
74 /100 The Skinny Pancake (Restaurant) 43 LAKE STREET Located downtown near the lake. Located just a stone's throw from Foam Brewers. Not a craft beer destination per se but they usually have 6-8 local drafts to keep it interesting. The food is excellent and they use a ton of local vendors which is cool. |
64 /100 City Market Onion River Co-Op (Grocery Store) 82 SOUTH WINOOSKI Did a quick stop before leaving town. Typical co-op setup. Beer section is almost all 4 & 6 packs, but lookout for a few stray singles on the bottom shelf. I was able to find a handful of local breweries that were new to me. |
68 /100 703B PINE STREET Located dire try across from Zero Gravity, parking is at a premium. The taproom is located in the back of the building, the pizza place has a bigger crowd. U shaped bar and a few tables. Despite the parking issues, it's pretty tame on a Weds evening. 18 taps. Flights available. Quick service. Beer is so-so. |
64 /100 144 COLLEGE STREET Went here first, as they open early. Disappointed. Generic brews all around. Classic bar interior, patio on city sidewalk. Service was Good, quality of beer not. This is an easy skip unless you need the ticks. |
80 /100 The Farmhouse Tap & Grill (Restaurant) 160 BANK ST While this likely more a foodie place, their tap lineup included some notables, like Hill. Farmstead Society & Solitude#5. Good service, bar seating a mailable. Full menu, but nosh also. Quiet, laid back. Check the taplist first. |
82 /100 112 LAKE ST Located within view of the lakefront and a short walk from downtown. Fairly large facility, free form taproom and multiple patios. No flight, 8oz pours. Hipper clientele. The nuts on the snack menu are killer. Heavy emphasis on the hazies. Clean, cozy, comfortable. |
88 /100 112 LAKE ST Attractive tap room in an older building near the waterfront in Burlington. There is a bunch of their fresh IPAs on tap, and some of their other styles as well. This place should be on your Vermont beer tour. I would very gladly come back here. |
66 /100 112 LAKE ST Foam Brewers is a recent entry to the Burlington beer scene; it is a great place to hang out and enjoy their "New England" IPAs - basically, they pay homage to Heady Topper, a world-renowned brew that looks like orange juice. The venue is somewhat rustic in appearance with tables, high-tops and tables and a decent sized bar. Foam offers several of their IPAs on draught. (Wish they had some darker beers, though.) In any case, it is a worthy stop that makes a stop on any Burlington Beer Crawl.

76 /100 115 ST. PAUL STREET We came here on 26.12.2019. Really cool place with 2 open ovens. Small brewhouse and 16 beers on tap (more than in the main brewery). Liked the smoked lager. Very friendly service although it was super busy. Food looked outstanding. |
70 /100 The Farmhouse Tap & Grill (Restaurant) 160 BANK ST We came here on 26.12.2019. Restaurant with good beer menu. Food was outstanding!!! They have great beers but most of them are in the range of 10%. Can/bottle selection is interesting. Just come here for the food! |
50 /100 703B PINE STREET We came here on 26.12.2019. Across the street of Zero Gravity. Nice ambiance as you are sitting within the brewery and nice U-shaped wooden bar. Beers are below VT average. This brewery can be skipped if you are in a hurry. |
76 /100 716 PINE STREET We came here 26.12.2019. Located on Pine Street next to Lake Champlain chocolate factory and Queen City being across the street. Brewery is visible behind two windows. 10 beers on tap (+ Cask conditioned). We liked the Lager and the Keller both served in Willi Bechers. The Double IPA’s were good too, but Lagers were our preference. Service was fast although a lot of samplers ordered when we visited. The nice logo helps the merchandising sales. |
66 /100 The Skinny Pancake (Restaurant) 43 LAKE STREET We came here on 26.12.2019 for breakfast. A few minutes walking from Foam brewing. First I did not understand why this place is rated here, but there is a a bar at the rear end. Really good selection of local breweries. 12 beers on tap including Sip of Sunshine and Fiddlehead IPA. A few cans available (Heady Topper). A very nice location, with friendly service and good breakfast (Breakfast Monster with home made hot sauce is our recommendation). |
72 /100 Juniper (Bar) 41 CHERRY ST. We came here on Christmas Day 2019. Located in the Vermont hotel next to where we were staying. Very good brunch and great beer selection. 3 ales from Hill Farmstead and some rare sour beers in bottles. A positive surprise we did not expect to discover on the 25th of December. |
86 /100 112 LAKE ST We came here on 24.12.2019. Located directly on the Lake Champlain in a red brick house. Inside a curved stone bar and a well designed tapping area. Great location. The IPA’s are their strength. The lager was ok, but not overwhelming. DJ was playing Christmas songs which was a plus. Service was very friendly. |
74 /100 144 COLLEGE STREET We came here on 24.12.2019. Our first stop in Burlington as it was the first brewpub founded by Greg Noonan (RIP). Great English beers. Bitters from the hand pump, IPA’s with 4.2 % alcohol. Brewery is in the basement and unfortunately was not open to the public. Service added one beer wrongly and did not even apologize. A must stop if you are in the city, as it is historic and the beers are great. |
76 /100 The Archives (Bar) 191 COLLEGE ST I love places with retro arcade games/pinball machines that also have bars and this place is a good example of the barcade model. They had a really good taplist that included a few hill Farmstead/foam brewer selections. It can get pretty packed on a weekend night but it’s a pretty good hang. |
86 /100 Juniper (Bar) 41 CHERRY ST. Located in the lobby of the Hotel Vermont there’s parking available in a garage next door. It felt intimate despite being in s hotel lobby. The beer list was definitely several steps above a typical hotel bar with selections from Hill Farmstrad, Wunderhammer, 3 Fontaine, and Foam Brewers available. The food was also quite tasty and the service was friendly and personable. |
66 /100 Juniper (Bar) 41 CHERRY ST. Had drinks one night and dinner another night. Good service, fine selection but nothing extraordinary, although had to text a friend that works at Trillium, first time I had seen them on tap outside of their locations! |
64 /100 The Farmhouse Tap & Grill (Restaurant) 160 BANK ST A nice place, got in here just at the right time before a downpour with the whole family, we had to wait maybe 5 minutes but I heard the host saying waits lasting as long as 45 minutes while we were seated! Food was fine, a little above my kids' preference but my wife and I were pleased. Beer selection was nice for me, coming from outside of VT, with lots of local/regional selection. Waiter was all about getting his tables in and out, nothing wrong with that but not the best service. Certainly a fine place for a meal, either with or without family, and a good place to tick a couple of beers. |
72 /100 The Skinny Pancake (Restaurant) 43 LAKE STREET Up the road from Foam, a block off the water. Nice for people watching. Good outdoor patio. Known for their crepes, which are good. Beer list is about normal for Burlington. |
66 /100 802 bws (Beer Store) 1127 NORTH AVE SUITE 5 A liquor store on the outskirts of Burlington with a better-than-average beer selection. No mixers or singles. |
82 /100 The Farmhouse Tap & Grill (Restaurant) 160 BANK ST Had brunch here with Jess on our way out of Burlington in 2019. This place was packed to the gills on a Saturday, but the food was really good and they have a quality selection of beers, many of which from the better breweries in VT. |
66 /100 City Market Onion River Co-Op (Grocery Store) 82 SOUTH WINOOSKI A nice coop grocery store with a better-than-average selection of beers. A few local bombers and a slightly larger selection of six packs. Very helpful staff. Visited with Jess and Win in 2019. |
78 /100 716 PINE STREET Nice, clean larger brewery with friendly staff. Offered samplers. Beers were solid. |
86 /100 112 LAKE ST Very cool space with a nice selection - no flights - and we were there on a can release day so extra bonus. Very good beer. |
38 /100 City Market Onion River Co-Op (Grocery Store) 82 SOUTH WINOOSKI Big grocery store with a small, but decently curated beer selection. Most of is in 4-pack cans, so bad options if you're looking to stock up on singles. I found a couple of Eden ice ciders here too. Some local meads also. Not a top spot for bottle shopping by any means. |
