3. Harpoon Brewery · 60 min

   Our next stop will be at the Harpoon Brewery where lunch is available for purchase on the premises. Harpoon was founded in 1986 and is an employee-owned brewery.

They also offer the ‘100 Barrel Series’, which consists of a number of one-of-a-kind batches. Beer samples are available for purchase.

4. SILO Distillery · 30 min

   Silo distillery is Vermont craft distillery, distilling small-batch spirits from Vermont-grown grain and local ingredients. Their process begins with grain selection from Grembowicz Farm in North Clarendon, Vermont. Everything at Silo is done, start to finish, in their barn distillery. Sustainability is also part of their process; recycling the water used throughout distillation, and sending spent grains to farmers to use for feed. We love their amazing barn with a real silo tower. The ambience is truly unique and makes for a great tasting experience.

5. River Roost Brewery · 30 min

   Discover one of Vermont’s hidden gems at River Roost Brewery, a small independent craft brewery located in the heart of White River Junction. Known for its exceptional hop-forward beers, particularly its flavorful New England-style IPAs, River Roost has earned a loyal following among craft beer enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy freshly brewed beers in a relaxed, welcoming taproom, sample a rotating selection of distinctive brews, and experience the creativity and craftsmanship that make Vermont’s craft beer scene so special.

6. Long Trail Brewing Company · 45 min

   Our last stop of the day will be at Long Trail Brewing Company. Inspired by the 273-mile hiking trail that traverses through the Green Mountains, Long Trail Brewing Company has been a caretaker of Vermont craft beer since 1989. Moved and motivated by the local culture and surroundings, they work hard to create beers worthy of our Vermont roots. From small-batch recipes to their flagship Long Trail Ale and freshly formulated Trail Hopper IPA, Long Trail is committed to crafting a trail-worthy family of beers.
