BURLINGTON, VT – Over 7,000 attendees will enjoy the Vermont Brewers Festival at
Waterfront Park from July 21st-23rd. The festival is organized by the Vermont Brewers
Association (VBA), who have organized the extensively successful Vermont Brewers
Festival since 1991. This year will feature 37 Vermont breweries and 270 beers to try
over the 3-day period.
This year’s festival is focused on collaboration between brewers and our local farms.
25 breweries have collaborated with a local hop grower, Champlain Valley Hops to
produce 32 beers that will be served throughout the weekend.
Ticket holders will have many beers to choose from and can sample from 3, 6, and 9oz
pours while listening to live music, playing large-scale games, and enjoying food and
gifts from our local food and retail vendors.
Excited to hear some of the unique beers that you will only find at this event? Vermont
Pub and Brewery & Simple Roots in Burlington, VT have collaborated on their beer:
Saison de L'Amitié, which translates to season of friendship. It is a saison with subtle
spice, fruit and funk.
Mill River Brewing in St. Albans, VT and Prohibition Pig in Waterbury, VT are bringing
their collaboration beer: Smoked Pineapple Sour, a smoked pineapple kettle sour.
Thursday and Saturday sessions are nearly sold out, but we’ve got a stellar lineup of
brewers and unique beers on Friday with tickets still available.
The Vermont Brewers Festival is the only festival created for and hosted by the brewers
themselves. Tickets in advance are $47 and $50 at the door if there are tickets
available. For a full list of participating brewers, beer lists, and retailers as well as links
