Vermont has long held status as the state with the most breweries per capita. No matter which small town or village you visit, there seems to be at least a handful of breweries to pick from. So, if you’re in Stowe — whether for the destination’s great skiing or a summer hike — which do you visit? Here are the best.
Routinely lauded as one of the best breweries not just in Vermont, but in the country, The Alchemist is a mecca for beer enthusiasts. This brewery distributes its beers on a limited basis, but this is where you can try a range of pours you won’t get anywhere else. Take a tour for a behind-the-scenes look at the operations and a free drink.
Yes, it’s those von Trapps. The very real family from The Sound of Music set up shop in Vermont nearly a century ago, and now you can visit Trapp Family Lodge, as well as Von Trapp Brewery. Make plans to enjoy an Austrian-inspired dinner while you’re there.
A smaller artisan brewery, Idletyme has still gained a reputation for its Bavarian weizens and lively tavern. If the weather is nice, grab a spot on the patio and be sure to try chili maple wings along with your brews.
