The Brattleboro Area is Southern Vermont’s Destination for Fine Craft Beer, Wine & Spirits!
“Long known to out of staters for our great deer hunting, flatlanders are now coming to Vermont to beer hunt. They are literally rising at dawn to drive to the promised land where they stand in a long line and wait, and wait, and wait some more to purchase Vermont’s world award winning beers, which they carry back with them in the trunks of their cars to lift up their miserable lives because they don’t live in Vermont.” – Former Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin
Gov. Shumlin is right!
Nothing is finer than a beer, wine or liqueur made in the Brattleboro area and infused with local ingredients – and with just one sip we’re sure you’ll agree!
