Vermont Brewers Festival
Vermont Brewers Festival
Running for over a decade, the Vermont Brewers Festival is a
chance for brewpubs and microbreweries from Vermont, New York State
and New England as a whole, to showcase their craft brews. Set in
the beautiful Waterfront Park, a tent village plays host to
hundreds of litres of the regions finest. Entertainment, good food
and plenty of beer are the order of the day, celebrating not only
America's Beer Month, but also the fact that Vermont has more
breweries per capita than any other state. Specially printed
tasting tickets are needed to sample the various offerings.
