Our independent, Vermont family owned store is proud to not only have a huge stock of craveable beers from around the globe, but we have the best and largest selection of the fresh Vermont beers you’re looking for.

Whether you are on the hunt for small batch / obscure sours, a rainbow fresh VT hoppiness, or want to go the dark side… our mighty selection will quench any thirst!

We are delighted that the amazing time of the year is here when we delve into the depths of our beer cave, and unearth spectacular brews from the depths of our hoard to stun your senses – stay tuned, breweries are dropping off special beers on their way to the festival.

Yes, will we have an selection of Cantillon, Tilquin Geuze,
3 Fonteinen, and other wonderful brews – we do encourage you to unleash your palate and explore exciting new craft beers from places Brazil, Estonia, Thailand, and others that you have never tried in addition to beers from our local Vermont and Québec friends.

We look forward to the opportunity to make your life more delicious this and every weekend – we don’t just sell great beer (and wine and spirits), we sell them with great heart.

Cheers!
