    Anyone know where to find out what's on tap at the brewery? Do they do growler fills or just sell bottles? I checked their Facebook page and they don't seem to provide many updates as to what's currently available.

    From what I've seen, they sell bottles (if available) and growlers at brewery. Haven't seen anything mentioning what they have on tap there. You can also pick up bottles around Vermont. Besides the IPAs, the other Foley's bottles are pretty easy to find (at least in Burlington region).

    Wow, quick response: "We have: citrennial ipa, native ipa, maple brown and ginger wheat ready to sample and fill."

    I had their collaboration with Brown's Brewing in Troy NY, Taconic IPA, and thought it was fantastic. Not that it really adds much to the conversation...just sharing

    Fun little tap room, in a converted barn. They had Fair Maiden bottles when I was there, $8 each, which is well under the retail price in any store.

    Wow. I paid like $10-11 at CBC for Fair Maiden which is an excellent beer.

    Do they fill non-FB growlers?

    I'd assume other growlers would be okay, but in VT it's a brewer's preference for whether to take or not to take other growlers. So far I only know of 2 VT brewers that doesn't accept other standard (dark/glass) growlers and FB isn't one of those two.

    I visited last May or so, and they filled my no-name, 2-litre flip-top growler with Fair Maiden...

    Prosit!!

    I bought the DIPA. Fair Maiden? at the end of summer when it came to Julio's, in flip top growlers. I was super hesitant to buy a flip top. But it ended u being awesome.

    Cool brewery in the middle of nowhere Brandon, great beer, I'd bail on the corporate lifestyle and do what they do if I had the chance.

    Stopped in on cold, rainy Friday afternoon and was the only one there. Baby was sleeping in the car so my wife waited while I quickly ran in. Tried a sip of their new sour (ginger wheat aged in wine barrels) as well as two of their hoppy offerings. Loved the citrennial so I picked up some bottles along with their native IPA and a bottle of their white wine (which, I had no idea that they made). I brought in some growlers to fill but the citrennial hadn't been kegged yet, only bottled; and I did confirm that they will fill non-FB growlers. The (Australian?) woman at the counter was very nice. Overall a quick but great visit!

    haven't made a trip up to VT yet and I feel like I really need to now. How are the driving conditions up there now that the weather is starting to turn colder?

    Just fine so far. You should have no problem until around t-day when most of the ski resorts open.
