One of my favorite local spots. They have changed their menu and my disappointment is there is not one vegetarian or vegan option for a sandwich. I understand that smokehouses tend not to have a no meat option but now I won't be able to take my vegetarian friends here.

Best pulled pork, ever!

The new barbecue menu is the best barbecue in the area. Coming from the South, I wish they offered sauces for the brisket and pulled pork sandwiches as you usually get (different bbq sauces). That's about all that was missing. It would also be nice to see an option like a quart of pulled pork for takeout. A little pricy for a sandwich and a side, but I'll visit when I can.

Overall decent experience but some beers have a VERY unique flavor that can catch you off guard. Only giving four stars because of the expensive cocktails we got that were mostly ice. Otherwise, good atmosphere

Great beer, great food, and great vibes. Super friendly staff and patrons. Brisket sandwich with mac is everything you would want and every beer was amazing!

80’s and 90’s music trivia was severely lacking in 90’s. Where was Britney and the boy bands? They feel left out! Questions were a bit wordy to read for only one boy band question. The host was committed with the outfit though!

Thank you for such a thoughtful response. My friend was given an explanation of what occurred and why it occurred, according to Vermont laws. Apparently the service didn’t closed the tab when asked. She understands that she should have been more vigilant when settling the tab and will make sure she has done so in the future. Thank you for responding to us and explaining everything and giving my friend a chance to explain what happened. I understand that this is a new location and a small business and now I understand more about Vermont laws as well.

You order at the bar, but the service is friendly and quick. They were playing my favorite music from the ‘90s. And the beer is great. I tried six in a flight. We got the jumbo pretzel with real cheese sauce and mustard. The merchandise looked really nice.

Stopped by for a quick bite and drink while in Burlington for the day. Food was good - typical brewery food offerings. Especially liked the fried zucchini! Beer was alright. I got the Leaf Peeper flight - was mostly fine but I think the sour ale in there was kind of weird after an IPA. Maybe I drank it in the wrong direction. The price was reasonable for the area and for what you get.

There was some confusion about where patrons could bring dogs and could not. Would suggest management maybe put up a sign just to clarify that dogs cannot go indoors bc of the full kitchen. I wasn’t the only one! There were four parties of people with dogs who said they came because they thought dogs were allowed inside and could not find any information otherwise. Outdoor area was fine, it was just raining and there wasn’t any shelter besides the sun umbrellas so we didn’t have much choice but to leave the dog in the car (we were traveling so could not leave pup at home!).

I did not eat anything so no rating for the food. The beer was good not great and the room was ok. Service was great. Wish I went here before going to Burlington Beer next door.

Great experience but at the time of this writing don’t be fooled by the pictures that show six dollar flight beer taste as it was $14… I came here on that basis to find out. It was actually a lot more…. Like I said from the beginning great experience it was good beers, but don’t come here. Expecting six bucks from the previous pictures.

We loved the new beer garden and restaurant. We had the quinoa & cauliflower burger, beer battered squash, and the haddock sandwich along with the summer ale flight. Everything was delicious !

It was so good we visited twice in one week on our trip. I’m a tried and true southerner and that was one damn fine BLT. Beer is on point. Solid IPAs and delicious smoked ales. The food was excellent. Muscles were amazing. Service was great just all around a must visit!
