What's on Tap
Poured right from the bright beer tank into your glass, you can count on our tap rotation to have 11 meticulously crafted beers, so you can quench your thirst with brews ranging from citrusy and bright to malty and robust. We brew a variety of styles in-house in our small 14 BBL system – from classic lagers to ales and IPAs – all of which can be enjoyed in our welcoming taproom or with a meal in our full-service restaurant. We don’t bottle or can our beers, so we invite you to sip our exclusive beer on-site or take a growler home with you to enjoy later.

Vermont Amber Lager, a session style American Lager. We made this beer with local Pilsner and Munich malts grown at Quintin Farm in North Hero, VT and malted at Valley Malthouse in Hadley, MA. Brewed with a blend of crystal malts for a deep malt flavor and malted maize for a dry, crisp finish.

A house favorite, our dark and bitter Black IPA. This year's version features dank CTZ and Simcoe hops and a healthy dosing of crystal and flaked rye. Our founder, Greg Noonan created this beer style back in 1994. Raise a glass to Greg, Cheers!
