VPR Cafe: Central Vermont Breweries

Vermont’s craft brewing scene has been exploding over the past few years, making it tough to keep up with every new brewery that enters the scene.

Recently, Brent Hallenbeck, a contributor to the Savorvore Section of the Burlington Free Press took a tour of some of the newer breweries in Central Vermont.
Hallenbeck visited three breweries: Bent Hill Brewery, Brocklebank Craft Brewing and Hop’n Moose Brewing Company.

“These were all within the last couple of years they opened, so they’re relatively new,” Hallenbeck said. “I like to check out breweries especially fairly early on….To me it’s important as a reporter to kind of get a sense early of breweries just in case they become the next Hill Farmstead.”

You can learn more about Hallenbeck’s beer tour in his piece "A Tasty Tour Of A Trio Of Central Vermont Breweries."

The VPR Café is made possible by Otter Creek Kitchenware in downtown Middlebury, offering over 70 lines of kitchenware, and by Kimball Brook Farm, organic milk and cream from Vermont grass-grazed cows.

Ric was a producer for Vermont Edition and host of the VPR Cafe.
