Changes to Breweries:

We regret that The Bobcat Cafe and 7 Barrel Brewery (NH) have unfortunately had to cancel.

Welcome to Allagash and North Coast Brewing who are last minute additions. Unfortunately, the festival guide went to print before they joined the roster.

Record Number of Beers:

There will be more than 150 beers on hand from about 38 breweries at the Vermont Brewers Festival. Of these about 9 beers range from 8.1% to 12% Alcohol By Volume. See the policies below for these specialty beers. They include:

  • Brooklyn Brewery: Brooklyn Local 9%
