    Is this just an attempt to not have to do research? My favorite is the Farmhouse Tap and Grill... Also check out Foam brewing (thread is pretty recent). There are a lot of places with good and great beer in Burlington walk around and enjoy.

    Exactly what this is. I'll never understand why people just want everyone else to tell them where to go, when there's vast information on this cool site called google.com

    Besides what RMoeNay posted above ^^ ( good list btw) I'd add Zero Gravity tap room on Pine Street. There's also the Guild Tavern in South Burlington (they have Hill Farmstead and a wide selection of beers including Peche Mortel). Manhattan Pizza and Bar has the best tap list in town probably along with Farmhouse Tap and Grill. Lastly, the Zero Gravity Brewpub at American Flatbread on St. Paul Street has a large selection of ZG offerings along with others. Enjoy!!! (I just moved to Burlington I hope the city is good to you!)


    Oh and yeah go to Foam Brewers - try the Nameless IPA and then come back here and tell me how it's as good as Trillium:slight_smile:

    There's a cool site called Beeradvocate.com with a Places tab where you can search for bars in Burlington, VT, get 30 hits, sort by user ratings and read hundreds of reviews. You should try it.

    Here's the list that pehodges is referring to ^^
    Also, not on the list is the Growler Garage on Main Street and what I'm most shocked about is where is Bluebird Barbecue ( I forgot about them in my original post... really top of the line food AND the beer selection is usually as good as Waterbury VT bars). Enjoy!!

    If you just bring up all places for Burlington (instead of the city guide here) it's on the list. Not many reviews but it's there. I think the "guide" is based off of number of ratings and how high they are, which would explain the absence.

    Even with people complaining he asked(Which is more annoying) he got the answer he was looking for in less then 3 hours.

    Get over it. Sometimes people might need an answer in a pinch or just aren't as sly as the rest to dig up the info.

    Moving on to beer talk and other better stuff

    There's a difference between "Best bars in Burlington VT, not seeing much" and creating a thoughtful post with details about what types of beer/atmosphere/food/etc someone might be looking for. SOME context would have made this an actual useful thread.

    Vermont. Heard the breweries there suck. Thoughts?

    I looked on here last night typed in Burlington on forums then looked up places. I didn't see many places I guess I was asking for a locals opinion on a must stop.

    They do. Nobody should bother going. Certainly not next weekend at least. After that, maybe.

    Wasn't a troll post this wasn't a lazy post I did some research (fairly intoxicated) but I really wanted to some local opinions on solid beer bars and must try bars. The reviews of places are a mix of tourists and a few local reviews.....
