This is such a dope spot!!! Phenomenal brews, such a unique/awesome vibe…one of the top spots of VT

Best IPAs we’ve had in a while, although quite expensive at $6 for a half pour. Cool vibe though.

Easily one of the best breweries I’ve ever been to (out of 1,500 visited). Incredible beers—IPAs, Lagers, Stouts, Saisons are all insanely good. The nicest team who always goes above and beyond. Cozy taproom space in the heart of Waterbury. Highly recommend!

I’ve heard great things about their beer so I had to go and see for myself! Yup, they were right! The staff were friendly , taproom had plenty of seating, and most importantly the beer was great.

S tier beer in VT. IPA fans rejoice. 6%ers drink like 8.5's. Their Hazy quality is unmatched and yes I've been to Hill Farmstead dozens of times. Do yourself a favor and stop in. They're no kids / dogs, so leave em at home and relax with some of the best beer I've ever had. If you're crying about their policies, they are very clear about it and as a proud owner of a 2 year old, I don't blame them at all.

I am from the PNW and consider myself a bit of a beer geek. Their Minor Logic Hazy Pale is phenomenal. Bought 2 four packs to bring home to the West Coast and not share with my friends. Mellow, friendly vibe. If I am ever back in Vermont, I will definitely make my way back to freak folk.

As a local, this place has always been one of my favorite spots. It’s kind of a hidden gem, but it somehow has a reputation all across the state and beyond. The beer’s always great, but what really makes it stand out are the people — both behind the bar and sitting at it. I usually venture out solo, and there’s always someone interesting to chat with. They even project old movies on the wall — I once caught the 1993 horror-comedy Leprechaun, a total childhood classic for me (though probably not for everyone) — and it’s just such a neat touch. It might be adults-only (and no dogs too), but honestly, as a dog owner, it’s nice to have a spot to unwind without the puppers sometimes — there are plenty of places in town for that. It’s just one of those spots that makes you feel welcome the second you walk in.

Amazing beer, Great staff, place was really rocking upon my arrival Saturday night. While I don't like the no dogs rule, I can respect it, it's a small avenue and I'm not sure my dog would do well with this many people around.

Beers were amazing and service was top notch. Couldn't recommend more.

Probably the best beer in all of Vermont! The IPAs are top tier!
Was really excited to try their beers but our party was turned away because we had our dog with us. Lovely outdoor seating area with benches but they don't allow dogs. Another party with a dog was coming in after right after we got the boot and they too were turned away. They lost 6-7 eager customers in 5 minutes on account of some weird anti-dog policy. Pro Pig down the street is very dog friendly.

So glad I stopped here on a brief visit. Delicious hazy IPAs, friendly staff, cozy little space.

Next-level beer. Not even next level, as they're on their own level. I border on the awkward side of things, but felt right at home sipping world-class brews early on a Friday afternoon and chatting with the staff. This is the best brewery in Vermont.
Matt Robinson
Among the few truly elite hazy IPA brewers. Exceptional. Very friendly staff as well. A must-stop on any New England beer adventure.

Kind of overrated in my opinion. There's a fine number of decent beers on tap but not much variety (no dark beers). This location is also close to the center of town so it gets a ton of traffic on weekends. However the space is not big enough. Get there early or you will be without a seat standing awkwardly in the hallway at the end of the building.
