Foam Brewers

Some of their stuff is just ok, but The Nameless is fantastic.

 

I went yesterday and loved it. Disco Lemonade and The Nameless were excellent. Really enjoyed Freak Incident too. I was bummed they were out of Pavement and Built to Spill. Maybe next time! Great spot and great beer.

 

Built to Spill we had at Blackback last weekend and it was one of the highlights of our trip up.

 

Pardon the out-of-stater naïveté, but are House Of Fermentology bottles going to available at Foam when released? Or elsewhere? I'm still trying to wrap my head around the connection between the two. I had some pours when I was in town and loved everything I tried. I also heard there's a release on the 27th (Yellow Dot I think?) but I don't know how to accurately target my ISO.

 

Yes bottle release today at foam

Went for the first time today, got a couple growlers each of Pavement and The Nameless, plus the Yellow Dot bottles. Excited to try this brewery's stuff for the first time.

 

Thanks to the advice from this thread I grabbed a few growlers on Friday. Finished The Nameless and Pavement yesterday - wow - people weren't exaggerating. Great beers and as others have mentioned quite reminiscent of HF.

A must stop if you are in Burlington.

 

I stopped by foam for the first time yesterday. Hung out for abour 2 hours while the family did the lake champlain boat tour. I went in with high expectations, i wouldn't say i was blown away, but everything was solid. The sours were very intersting, super tart but not to complex IMO. Yellow dot was better than I expected based on the description. Besides the sours i only tried pavement. The nose on the beer was incredible, really nice color and hazyness. The mouthfeel was lacking IMO, i could tell they are going for the juicy/soft kind of DIPA with that beer. With a little tweaking it could be something really special. Judging them off of that beer, i think I would have to disagree that they are up there with Hill and the other Vermont greats. Also grabbed some fills of nameless, so my opinion might change once i try that. Really looking foward to visiting these guys again and checking out more of their beers. The spot is really cool and convenient, really fun atmosphere and seems like a great place to bring friends or family even if they aren't to into beer. Staff was awesome also, they were pretty busy but they have a nice system down to get everyone their beer quickly.

 

Was also there yesterday. I thought green dot was outstanding, such an intense blend of sour and hoppy. I think it hit every single taste bud I have. I thought Nameless was as good as anything in VT. Pavement, while very good, lacked a little punch. I agree, great spot and staff!!

 

Stopped by Foam this past Friday. Could not think of a nicer spot to grab a beer and enjoy a beautiful summer afternoon after a long day spent in the car. Circa Now was my favorite of the beers I tried. Great cheese plates. Just wanted to say thanks to the others on this thread for spreading the word about this place.

 

Pavement is one of my favourite IIPA's

 

What is foam charging for their Dot sours?

 

Pavement = So delicious!

 

$15 for 500ml bottle. $8 for a pour...i think 8oz

 

Was there tonight and they told a guy they will fill any 750.

 

Had the yellow dot tonight. Fantastic! Could swear there were some cherries and spices in there but it is apparently just the honey. On par with Ensorcelled from Rare Barrel.

 

Do they still have Yellow Dot bottles or sold out?

 

Looks like I am at least the third that stopped in on Friday because of this thread...really enjoyed everything while I was there - nice spot on the patio with a view of the lake and good beers.

Took home a growler of Pavement and the cold brew on nitro was a nice way to end the visit..Looking forward to getting back up there.
