Vermont Beer And Breweries





HISTORY

The History Of Beer in Vermont is similar to its History in the rest of the United States - no local breweries existed from Prohibition until the microbrewery explosion of the 1980s and 1990s. Since then a number of strong breweries have developed despite Vermont's small population.

In 2006, MSNBC listed Burlington, VT as the fourth best city in the world for beer lovers behind Amsterdam, Berlin, and Brugge. This would make it the best in The United States.


BEER STYLES

Brewing in Vermont has not taken place long enough for any local Beer Styles to emerge. Breweries in Vermont produce mostly traditional Ales and Lagers , along with American interpretations of those older styles.
