Vermont Beer [Take 2]


Long Trail Brewery was our first Vermont Brewery experience when we moved here and has since become a staple on many weekends. We have watched Long Trail grow so much over the last few years and it just keeps getting better. It's always an experience whether we stop in for a drink or food too and summertime is by far our favorite time to go since it's one of the best outdoor spaces in the state!

They now have an outdoor patio where they serve food and cans of beer so you can casually hang out and walk down to the water. It's perfect for families so the kids can run around and play as you eat, making for a much less stressful dining situation. We'll be back there at least a few more time this summer since the boys loved it and I'm currently loving their Cranberry Gose...yum!

It should also be noted that it is now our family tradition to bring our newborn babies to Long Trail for our first family outing. Both boys started experiencing Long Trail at the rip ole age of 2 weeks!

Vermont Beer [Take 1]

Hops on Top - easily one of the best views in Rutland

Ok I may be biased since I'm on the Board of Directors and I helped coordinate the event, but Hops on Top may be one of the best events in Rutland! Not only does it bring a LARGE crowd and good beer, but it brings in a crowd that normally doesn't come to Rutland events which is exactly what our city needs.


There were some amazing breweries there like Rogue, 14th Star, Shipyard and so many more. We're planning a Vermont Breweries only Hops on Top for September 8 and I'm even more excited now to see how well it will go. Plus I'm super excited to not have to drive 2hrs for great beer and they will all be in one place too - win, win.
