Foam Brewers

Hit Foam a couple weeks ago when I was going through town. Liked it so much I made a point to stop again on our way back to the Ferry.

Gotta make a point to bring back more Pavement growlers next time.

 

I did not see them offered, but I did not ask.

 

Holy crap Yellow Dot... just cracked my first tonight, it's fantastic. More people need to use chamomile in their sours, it adds something really great to the flavor profile.

 

Any Yellow Dot left? Going tomorrow...

 

Doubt it, there were 300 bottles, and a 5pp limit last Saturday. Also not listed on their site anymore.

 

Bummer, but oh well! Pavement is hopefully still available Thanks for the quick reply!

 

Pavement's still up on the site, and they have Built to Spill newly available since Wednesday.

I really wish I had gotten my full allotment of YD instead of just grabbing 3 last weekend. I'm a dingus.

 

Or

Orange dot, yellow dot and pink dot were fantastic. Think sour patch kids that dances on your palette and puckers your lips but leaves you wanting more

 

Where do they do announcements? Nothing on their Instagram or FB pages about Orange Dot.

 

Their HOF FB account has been pretty reliable for bottle releases.

 

Stopped by Foam today while on vacation here in VT.

Pavement and Built to Spill didn't disappoint. The meat and cheese plate was excellent also.

Green Dot on draft was gone by the time we got there.

Cool venue that's easily within walking distance to downtown Burlington and accessable to the waterfront.

Like most have said before me, it's highly recommended if you're in the area.

 

took a walk down there today, pavement is kicked but they just put on a new ipa - Television. easy drinking, citrusy, and tangy. not really bitter at all, good stuff. also picked up more built to spill, can't get enough of it!



i also highly recommend Circa Now, a delicious dry hopped saison.

 

Really enjoyed circa now as well

 

Anybody have any information on growler fill pricing? Heading up this weekend most likely.

 

Stopped by on Saturday and really enjoyed the place. Great vibe and very tasty beers... Growlers range from $9-12. They'll fill any 750ml swing top or if you want their glass it's an extra $3

 

Stopped by yesterday after reading all the positive reviews; these guys are no joke.

Went on a Friday at noon; place was not crowded and Was fortunate to get to spend some time talking to head brewer. You can tell he really cares about what they're making.

Saison de foam: their flagship beer. Super bright and clean. Big floral juicy notes with some barnyard. Fantastic.

Pitted against dries: another saison I believe with Brett, with some peaches added. The standout for me. Filled a 2L of this to bring back to Boston. Bright, tart, sunshine.

Pavement: solid dipa. Takes the best parts of juice bombs and the best parts of more nuanced east coast ipas(like hill farmstead). The high abv is well hidden. I think once the juice craze settles down this is where we're gonna land. Fine by me.

Local dork: the most Vermont of Vermont beers. All local ingredients. Not my favorite but some real stiff competition. Was very fresh; had an almost parsley/spearmint thing?

Green dot: lucky to have this on draft. Aged in Chardonnay barrels, dry hopped with Nelson and I think galaxy? Super tart, but kept going back for more.


Took home 2 bottles of house dot..excited to try! If anyone is headed to VT these guys are worth the detour no doubt. Only a matter of time before it's as hard to get as fiddlehead.

 

I was there last Tuesday and we sampled most everything you mentioned but unfortunately Yellow Dot kicked litteral between my first beer and when I went back for a 2nd. I personally was a little disappointed with both the Saison de foam and Pitted against dries. Very dry and chalky and missing much tartness/sourness. A lot like straight grapefruit juice with brett.

Now Television IMO was their standout IPA. and truly world class. Probably one of the best hoppy ales I had on whole trip in Vermont.

 

Yeah I totally see what you mean by chalky, but it didn't affect my love for the beers. I lm just really accustomed to unfiltered chewy beer I guess.

I also think the reason I liked dries so much was because it wasn't overly tart. The fruit just complemented what was there.


Agree with television. Top notch.

 

The Ghost bottle/label look awesome:



Any chance they'll last a week or will this likely sell out the weekend of? I assume the latter, but I'll be in town the week after the release and trying to determine if I'll need to set up an IP

 

Oh man that bottle looks killer! So jealous of all you locals.
