Visiting from NH and wanted to try some different breweries, recommended by our son who has visited before. Fun vibe, dog friendly and good beers. I loved the Casey's Winter Beard!

Visiting from NH. Fantastic Crafts on tap and canned ready to go. No food although it's very Dog Friendly. (inside). Stop by and grab a pint.

Dan Anderson

Couple of solid beers to choose from in different offerings, but Jen and the neighbors made it a great atmosphere! Fantastic brewery we look forward to returning to when we're back in the area.

I've been to over 250 breweries and this is in my top 10. A good variety and quality of beer. Family friendly and events every week.

Great beer , great people and atmosphere .

Brjan

Great beer and usually a laid back and friendly place but last Friday night bartender was rude and unfriendly. I expect more from a Vet owned and Vet serving brewery...overt hostility is not great for those serving this community. Great on T, W, R when other bartenders are there.

One of my favorite microbreweries in Vermont. The way I describe this place is like going to Cheers in Boston “where everyone knows your name”! The beers are awesome, the place is comfortable and has a nice ambiance, people are friendly and most importantly they love dogs. Yeah very dog friendly establishment which is cool to see.Denial and Vet are their signature and popular IPAs which are delicious. They have some porters like the WatchDog which is a great beer too. Nice place to stop by to chat, meet other people, play some games and enjoy good beer.
