Pretty far out there, but what a view!. Small taproom in a barn-like building, but the outdoors is where you want to be. Quite a spacious lawn and tables and chairs. The birds are singing. Great, friendly service. Good beer too. Worth the trip

Situated near the quaint town of Brandon, Foley Brothers is a rustic delight! Basically, it is a farm where they brew beer - excellent beer, particularly their array of savory IPAs. The tasting room is a gem: rickety wood tables beneath a towering roof supported by well-worn wooden rafters. There is another, smaller, adjacent bar room, which is used when the larger room is closed. If beer is not your thing, they also make wine - although my wine-drinking friend said she was not "overwhelmed." Whatever... the beer is worth the trip out here.

This place is in the middle of nowhere and the better for it in my opinion, absolutely beautiful. Their tasting room is in an old barn and is quite beautiful and rustic a very welcoming environment. This is the same as a lot of breweries because they don’t serve food you can’t get a pint, unless you drink it outside their tasting room because they are a bed and breakfast too. Service was great very quiet when I was there. They mostly focus on your more traditional IPAs, they did have a collab sour and oatmeal stout while I was there.

Awesome farmhouse style atmosphere, great tap/tasting room. Staff were very knowledgeable about not just their product, but the craft industry in general. Had 9 beers on tap for sampling the day i went, and 5 canned and ready to go! All well done and super fresh. A great place to spend an hour talking about and enjoying some excellent beers!

Funky, dingy brewpub, sharing space with Neshobe winery, on a back road outside of Bristol.
Not a large selection of beers, though some are pretty good.

The Alchemist had been my favorite (and it still ranks way up there), but I have yet to have a Foley Bros IPA that I don't like. They are at the top of my list, and luckily less than 30 minutes from me.

Tucked away up a hill and past a small creek hides a brewery that in my opinion is producing some great brews! A great place to visit when quiet I'd recommend a weekday. Visited on a Saturday and unfortunately the tasting room was being crowded by a few people making it hard for others to access. This took the shine off an otherwise great visit.

Small countryside brewery that looks like private property until you make your way in. Inside is a small bar with a few taps and a few seats. The beer, which is primarily pales and IPAs, is excellent, and cans are available for purchase.

Small little farmhouse style tasting room. Really nice people. Underrated beer. Usually have at least 5 beers on tap. Winery next store gives it extra points. Wishing this place the best. Great Vermont stop

Visited the tasting room with my buddy in the late afternoon, was very quiet, for most of the half hour we were there, we were the only ones in the tasting room. The man pouring us beers was the Foley brothers' father. Beers were exceptional and very fresh. I bought a bomber of their double maple brown ale. As we were leaving, we saw the head brewer, one of the brothers walking from the small brew house, and we approached him and talked about home brewing because we just made a beer brewed with ginger, and he had an excellent one on tap. After discussing when he adds the ginger and what type of ginger he uses, he offered to take us into the brew house and give us a private tour. It was a very memorable experience. Both of the Foleys we met were just great people. I would love to visit again.

Made an afternoon trek in search of Pieces of Eight and was not disappointed.
It was a sunny warm day and everything was very relaxed and we were well taken care of.
Nice tasting flight of the principal offerings. Ginger Wheat, Citrennial, Fair Maiden DIPA, and Pieces of Eight in that order.
Service was excellent and they were happy to fill the growler we had along with the Citrennial .......not the experience I had elsewhere in VT.
Worth the trip....and then some...just wish the growler lasted longer... )

It is like you are at a backyard party of a friend you have not seen in a while. They make excellent pizza and sandwiches right on premises, many nice nooks and crannies to sit back, relax and enjoy some exceptional beverages! Very accommodating service!!
