    Holy shit this place is really great. Short wait for growlers and full pours in a great environment with some great outside seating. Anyone coming to Burlington should not miss Foam. It's up their with Hill and the alchemist and honestly I'd prefer it because it was so easy to get growlers and a few beers onsite.

    Built to spill and pavement were phenomenal and a pour of Disco Lemonade was awesome as well as Yellow Dot. Again I can't say enough good things about this place.

    Built to Spill (Citra and Galaxy IPA) and Pavement (Citra and Mosaic) are excellent IPAs. Nice place with great outdoor seating in the evening watching the sunset.

    I am going to Burlington for the first time ever this month and I am super excited about visiting Foam. It looks like such an amazing spot!

    Someone in the Burlington VT trip thread said they do fill 32 oz growlers, just upcharge a bit since it's more beer. Is that correct?

    They will fill any 750's and they will also fill 32oz, though you need to bring your own top for those.

    Not sure where you are located, but get over to River Roost and Big Fatty's in White River Junction. Mark is doing some excellent beers at River Roost and Fatty's has the best tap list you will find that far south. Last time I was there they had a couple HF beers, Singlecut and some other stuff. They also do crowler fills of a bunch of stuff. Both places share the same parking lot, so very convenient.

    Got a couple of growlers from a friend this week from these guys. Amazing stuff that seems to be flying under the radar, for you locals I hope it stays that way. Cheers.

    Just two hours north. Treehouse is closer.

    It's only been open a few months. They're flat out incredible especially the HoF stuff.

    I was lucky enough to swing by the brewery for the Funk on the River kickoff event for the VT Craft Festival last month. Pink Dot was darned good. I'll be watching these guys.

    Has Foam indicated how much longer they think Pink Dot will need to condition before it's released?

    Visited Foam yesterday. As others have mentioned, no flights, but if you go with a group and don't mind sharing, 8oz pours allow you to try a few things.

    We had Built to Spill, Pavement, and HoF's Yellow Dot... The two DIPAs were absolutely fantastic. Very fruit-forward, super easy-drinking for the style. Reminiscent of what those fellows out in Greensboro Bend are doing. Yellow Dot was just insane...

    Our only complaint is that they left about 3 inches of empty space at the top of the growlers we picked up. Not a huge issue, but we're definitely not gonna let these sit for more than a day or two.

    Oh, and if you do happen to visit on an empty stomach, don't sleep on the cheese platter!

    The one place you can say "Excuse me bartender, there isn't enough FOAM in my glass."

    Went on Thursday night, based on word of mouth this place was my #1 destination. Was not let down in any way. Built to Spill was the exact opposite of its name, do not spill of drop of this! I thought Pavement was a notch better, but maybe that's just my palate/taste preference.

    Yellow Dot (which wasn't on the menu but could still be ordered) really blew me away. So tart and sour, funky, lemony, floral, bit of herbs and tea. Killer brewery!

    Went here last week, during my VT beer excursion. Of all the beers I had (all breweries), Pavement was the best!

    Pavement was the best beer I've had this week, followed by Trillium Mettle and Tree House Sap for reference...
