Great beer, nice people! I'm looking forward to going back again. The customer space is very small but they are working on expanding the customer seating.

Beer was pretty good, but there is not a ton of room at the location.

Where Craftsmanship Meets Flavorful Magic in White River Junction, VermontStep into a world where hops dance and flavors enchant at River Roost Brewery, an absolute gem nestled in the heart of White River Junction, Vermont. If you're an IPA enthusiast or just someone in search of a beer paradise, this place is your Shangri-La.First things first, let's talk about their IPAs - they're nothing short of divine. Mas Verde and Martin Moon House, two absolute titans among their repertoire, exude a symphony of flavors that tantalize the taste buds and transport you to a hoppy wonderland. Mas Verde, a tropical paradise in a glass, bursts with vibrant citrus and fruity notes, while Martin Moon House captivates with its bold yet smooth profile, making it hard to resist just one more sip.But River Roost is more than just exceptional brews; it's an experience. The brewery itself is a testament to craftsmanship and artistry, with its rustic yet modern ambiance inviting you to relax and savor each sip in the company of fellow beer enthusiasts.The passion and dedication of the brewers here are evident in every pour, and the friendly staff adds an extra touch of warmth to the whole experience. It's the kind of place where you come for the beer and stay for the welcoming atmosphere.So, if you find yourself in White River Junction, Vermont, don't miss the opportunity to visit River Roost Brewery. Whether you're an IPA aficionado or just starting your beer journey, this place promises an unforgettable experience filled with delicious brews and a vibrant atmosphere that keeps you coming back for more.

Very tiny little one-room serving room with 2 little tables (at most 2 to a table), as well as a couple of outdoor tables on the side. This is located in a very tight manufacturing strip district area with limited parking beside a BBQ restaurant. Nice variety of standard beers with fair pricing (ex. 4 pack of Marzen pints for $16), but some of the more unique options are very expensive (ex. $25 for 750ml bottle made with blueberries). We enjoyed what we got but would prefer somewhere with a little more robust footprint.

Great tiny space. Good place to meet new friends over fantastic beers.

Been drinking around Manchester NH, Boston MA, and less so VT and ME for ~10 years.This is possibly the best brewery in New England, particularly if your into IPA's / DIPA's! Not sure if they use raw hops, if it's related to batch size, yeast, or what but there beer is great! Their beers are thick robust flavorful pints that leaving you full but craving another. The barrel aged beer is great and a proper sour - buttery rather than acidic like a kettle sour.Runner up breweries imo are Widow Maker (Braintree, MA; Blue Comet), Maine Beer Co (Maine; solid malt and hops), Queen City (Burlington; killer Belgian Wit), and the defunct barrel room at Jacks Abbey. The only beer that beat their IPA's was in Oregon on tap during hop season. It was thin and bursting with quickly oxidizing resinous hop flavor. It is worth noting that on ONE visit, out of 10 or so, the beer was off.Anyhow, these guys kill it. Drop by and indulge!

Good beers, mostly hazy IPAs. Small store with a couple seats inside and a few tables outside. They had half a dozen drafts and many more available in bottles and cans.

GREAT beer, good variety however I highly recommend Mas Verde. Expansion is in progress so be patient! Don't let that stop you from going.

A+ selection of IPAs. The beer was delicious and they had a large selection of cans to go. No food, few places to sit, no non-beer choices, and a porta-potty outside. I'd totally go again.

The taproom was extremely small, but this is an instance where the size of the taproom does not matter; the beer was big enough to help River Roost stand tall. The flight we had was fantastic, with all four beers ranging from good to bloody fantastic! Sound the Horns was one of the best IPAs I had on my trip to Vermont, and Double Dusky also being a damn good beer.The bartender was friendly, and ended up talking to us and another patron for the better part of an hour. This is worth a detour if you're close by, especially since Big Fatty's BBQ is right beside and serving up some amazing food.
