Yes, yes, and yes! Long Trial edges to 4.5, maybe more imo. Came here after snowmobling adventure on xmas eve. Our waitress was Ally (Al Pal) who was freakin awesome. So already we are in a good spot. I got a flight. I was blown away by nearly every beer I tried was a real winner..like I would drink each one as a pint. Amazing flavor, truly. If I was forced to pick the winner it was Vermont Hazy. Wow, that good. We ordered a soft pretzel with their sauce, and their buffalo spinach dip which was incredible (Served with nacho chips). We loved the vibe, the beer for sure...so good I had to memorialize it with a t shirt. Score! read more

We stopped in here on a Thursday after a day of skiing. We were quickly seated and ordered drinks. Their NEIPAS were fantastic. They do have vegetarian options (burger can be vegan, I believe). The house made veggie patty was delicious. It's not the blah standard and unimaginative black bean patties most places have. The fries were crisp and service was good. I will definitely return the next time I ski the East! read more

Called ahead for 2 adults and 2 dogs first week of March and they were incredibly accommodating! The service was excellent! The beer cheddar soup was probably the best food on the menu. Beers were great as always. We had a great visit! read more

Long Trail started brewing craft beer in 1989. It's situated by the Ottauquechee River; it's a very beautiful area with a beer garden and patio dining area. We got lunch and some beers during our visit; a serene place to dine and sip on beers. The parking lot was huge. Their food and beer menu is seasonal but there are year-round beers. For lunch, I had a Long Trail cheddar burger; this comes on a round roll with Cabot cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and special sauce (almost like spicy mayo). Wow the burger was perfectly made and so scrumptious. I didn't need to put the sauce on, I used it to dip my fries, also good. As for their beers, I tried out the Blackbeary Wheat and the Harvest maple brown ale; both were great. The food and beers were delicious and my family and I enjoyed our time there. Our server Alyssa was friendly and attentive! After, we walked along the river and relaxed at the beer garden after, such a cool place. read more

Selection of beer good. Service and food terrible. Waited at least 45 minutes for a burger read more

Hard to beat the location on the deck, along the Ottauquechee, with a trail down to the river, and a few yard games set up. Really nice inside too, with a big inviting bar and cool decor. Obviously all of LT's finest brews on tap, and a nice variety of food for a brewery. I wish it were open a little later Sunday-Wednesday; 6pm is pretty early to wrap it up for dinner. I'll be back! read more

Good food. Great beer. Our server Tony was helpful and funny. Definitely will be back. read more

Stopped by long trail after a day on the mountain at Killington. Always a great time. Easy to park, quick service, and great food and drink. We ordered a Rueben and cheeseburger both came with a side of fries. The food was delicious and fresh. The limbo IPA is a must try. After all the years of coming to long trail this is my first time reviewing them and you will not be disappointed. The service is great everyone is friendly and just so laid back. I do recommend on weekends making a reservation as it can get busy after the mountain closes for the day. Pricing is fair for Vermont nothing too overpriced. Parking is super easy as they have a very large lot outside. Only complaint I have is they did not sell the limbo IPA by itself and it only comes in a mixed variety pack. Otherwise long trial is a must try! read more

This place is very lively. The staff were friendly and really took care of us. I sat indoors but the outdoor seating looked great. They have a great selection of beers but also have root beer floats and wine. The fried pretzels were good and the sauce is spicy. I really enjoyed the root beer float. I will definitely come back when I visit in the winter. read more

Mac and Cheese was great. Also ordered Nachos with Chili on top, nachos were so-so; definitely not the best I ever had and I probably wouldn't order again. Ordered a flight of beers; all very good. Service was excellent and fast. We had a reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. A little loud inside, but it was extremely busy and the noise can be expected. read more

I continue to love Long Trail Brewery and usually stop by when I'm visiting my sister in VT. The taproom has plenty of seating. There is an area outside overlooking the River that is particularly pretty and very relaxing. There is also a larger area in the front of the brewery with picnic tables. We've sat at the bar several times and had stellar service from Roger. The food continues to be top notch. And, of course, the beer is very good. There is frequently live music. The menu has recently been expanded and I am looking forward to trying some new deliciousness while sipping a delicious brew. There is plenty of parking. The restroom is clean. See you soon, Long Trail! read more

Naww. I have watched this place go from great to mehhh. The Ambiance is always consistently great. The food and menu are okay. The beer selection has gone downhill. So in the food and drink dept they are overpriced. The service and ambiance make this a good place to go. I would say that if I were traveling with kids it's the best kid friendly brewery/pub between Rutland and West Leb. Being on the river makes Long Trail stand out. The service has always been really good. read more

My family and I recently visited VT, and stopped by here to try some local brews. We got 2 flights with all different brews so that we could try lots of different flavors. We all shared and voted for our favorites. The winners were the hard cider, limbo IPA, shed mountain ale and the long trail ale. Honestly all of them were good. It was fun trying a variety. For food we got the pretzel and the hummus platter. We brought our dog along and got to enjoy our food and drink in their sugar shed. We got to stay for 2 hours and played cards and games with each other while enjoying the treats with our furry friend. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Stopped in for lunch while driving around, had a bit of a wait but everything there was great. We tried the blackberry wheat beer and the homemade root beer. The blackberry wheat bbq sauce on the wings was amazing! I had grilled chicken panini, which was excellent and my husband enjoyed the bratwurst sub. They have an outside seating area and a big area inside, I think they have live music. Would definitely recommend stopping in! read more

Wait staff poor wait for order one and half hours plus onion rings good sandwiches average but maybe based upon how long we had to wait noise level over the top read more

Stopped here for lunch. Ordered a beer tasting flight from the seasonal menu. I usually like the wheat beers, but the blueberry Wheat was didn't impress me. Really liked the Harpoon Cider and Double Bag, as the Cider was not too sweet and the double bag was double the malt, not as I thought was double the hop. Bought a pack to take home for the Hubby. Food wise, our teenager said it was the beat burger ever (he had the Long Trail Burger with cheese). His mom liked the arugula salad and I liked my chicken wings with Yaki Sauce! They will have live music on Thursdays from 5-7. Kitchen is closed by 7pm so get your act together! read more

Beers are good but the server needs to work on being more engaged with the customers I would go back for the beer but be more aware who is serving the beers read more

This brewery is so cute on the outside and inside. The aesthetics very much blend in with the surrounding mountain towns. We walked in and there was live music. There are also sugar huts you can reserve for small parties. The beers we ordered were pretty good, however, the food was awful. The queso was grainy and barely warm, served with extremely hard tortilla chips. DO NOT order the "charcuterie board or summit spread." The menu describes it as a selection of meats and cheeses, BOTH plural. We got a measly plate with 3 stale crackers, 1 grimy meat, a handful of craisins and pumpkin seeds, and 2 cheeses. That's it. The board cost a whopping $22 for rabbit food. Was very disappointed with the food considering the mountainside atmosphere and potential of surrounding area. Overall, this establishment had extreme potential, but fell very short to the expectation we had. read more

Long trail was a pleasant surprise! We grabbed our stout and IPA and found great seats right by the river in the back! Watched as adults and children skipped ricks and put their toes in the water! It helped that the weather was great! No music but nice vibe with porch seating and a corn hole area. read more

My oh my has this place grown! If you like craft beer then you must stop by. Long Trail has some darn good brews with their IPAs being king. There are other options for you non-IPAers and ciders to. If it is a nice day order from the outside bar and head to the river. It was hot the day we visited and we really enjoyed standing in the cool river enjoying our beer. There is also a large covered patio. Hungry? There are dining options. Be sure to pick up some Long Trail swag on the way out. read more

We we planning to have pitstop over here but ended up having a great and memorable time! The brewery is located at the bank of a sallow river with a big deck seating! They a huge seating for guests with pet! My toddler couldn't stop playing with the water! Hahah! But we had a great refreshing IPA and drinks. The food is pretty delicious and everything comes in family size portions live music added to the experience! What else you would ask for. Pretty reasonably priced good food ! A perfect place for a perfect summer day read more

If it wasn't for our server Ian this would have been an easy 4 stars. Ian really set this place apart from a lot of other breweries. His recommendations were amazing and he even mentioned that he makes the sauerkraut in the bratwurst sandwich (it was delicious). The brewery itself is nestled in one of the most beautiful places I have seen for a brewery. Between mountains and a small stream with views of all these from the outside eating area. Really really special. The IPAs here were spectacular also. The Hazy Juic'd IPA was so good that we almost went over our baggage weight just to get a 6 pack home to Fort Lauderdale. The pretzel doesn't come with a beer cheese like most breweries, HOWEVER, they have a cheese soup on the menu that was heavenly. Paired with the pretzel, crazy good. A must try combo for sure. The brat was good too, the sauerkraut on it really shined. Plenty of parking too! read more

Great ambience both indoors and outdoors! Reliably savory food and excellent service!! I came here 6 years ago over the summer and enjoyed outdoor seating by the river, played some lawn games. It was the perfect quintessential backyard setting. I recalled I had the wings that were so crunchy and meaty. Had to get them again this time and they didn't disappoint! My group split a couple cheddar ale soups (a bowl for 2 people was perfect for us). So creamy, almost like a cheese fondue. Had some carrots in it too. Yum! It was a great starter that paired really well with my beer (a lighter beer on tap with coffee notes...can't recall the name though!). Service was very accommodating and didn't rush us. I had our baby with us and our server was always one step ahead to help out, whether hanging up my coat on the coat rack or getting the high chair ready. This will surely be a tradition each time we're in the area! read more

Big IPA guy here. Long Trail was on our way over to Killington for the annual Spartan race. We stopped here because it is dog friendly, the food looked (and was) great, and it has an outdoor patio right on the Ottouquechee River. We both got sandwiches to go with our beers that our server helped us pick out for both our full pints and our flight. 5/5 on the jerk chicken sandwich! read more

Foods great, a pub menu. They should bring back the cheese soup and also the bratwurst meal! The inside is a fun atmosphere. Outside they have covered seating at picnic tables.

Overall I had an okay experience. The highlights of this place is the location and the servers and people working there. We had a very friendly server who was very helpful walking us through the beer and food menus. The guys working behind the merch counter were great. They did an excellent job explaining all of the products and the differences/uniqueness of each beer. The food was just okay, which shouldn't be a shock at a brewery. We started with the Pretzel with Cheese Sauce. The pretzel was nothing to write home about, but the cheese sauce was good. My wife had the BYOB. Her burger was "fine" as she described it. Nothing spectacular, but tasty. I got the Fried Chicken Sandwich with Buffalo Sauce. The chicken was fine, but nothing really stood out about it. My wife had the CBD Seltzer that was recently released. She enjoyed it, so much so, we bought a couple of 4-packs as we were leaving. I tried the sampler and got the Double Bag Ale, Summer Ale, Barrel Aged Triple Bag and Blackberry Wheat. All were good beers. The Barrel Aged Triple Bag had the full scent and flavor of the Bourbon barrels they were aged in. read more

Pretty cool place- tons of parking and somehow I missed the upstairs lookout where you can see the production down below. That would've been cool. Also it was the dead of winter so we couldn't indulge in the beautiful riverside location (can't blame the brewery for the weather/seasons). We were seated fast and couldn't decide what we wanted to try, so of course a flight is always the best option. Bummer is you can only pick their 2 flight options- no making your own, which was kind of annoying. We were lucky the gose wasn't currently on tap (only can) so that was replaced with another. However for not being a fan of gose-style beers, my grandma received a free sample (from a mistake) of the gose which was actually pretty good! Didn't have any sour finish and was sweeter than expected. My husband and I shared 2 flights, which I am still bummed I couldn't choose my own. Overall the beer was good but not anything special, something else I was bummed about. However, we bought some B.A. Unearthed to go and woa it was amazing!!!! Pint-worthy. For food, I got the falafel burger with cheesy ale soup, my husband got the fish and chips and my grandma the loaded nachos. Mine was okay- nothing too crazy and not a whole lot of flavor- the soup was delicious and rich, though. My husband and grandma loves their meals. The portions were great. Also, our waitress was awesome. Very friendly and outgoing and on top of it all. There is a "store" on the way in/out and you can buy beer by the singles or packs, other souvenirs and fill a growler. read more

Ian gave great service! "Ski The East" came out recently, make sure you stock up (limited supplies), luckily it's also on tap (so bring a growler)! Freshness guaranteed!

Nice, airy brewery and restaurant. We put our name down for lunch, and we got seated about 30 minutes after. There is a constant flow of people at the bar, and many are waiting to be seated for meals, but I appreciate that we didn't feel rushed at any point. Maybe a bit packed in at some point. Lots of families and groups. It's a comfortable spot where folks can stay a while. Even in the late fall, they had a heated area that maintained a good overflow of people waiting to sit in the main dining areas. They have about 12 beers on tap, with two permutations of 4-beer flights. They were pretty generous about letting us taste the beers, too. I got the chicken tenders. Sure, it's pretty hard to mess up chicken tenders, but they were good! read more

Visited here while staying at my sisters house in the area, we LOVED it!! The beer selection was awesome, my friend got a beer named "Juiced" which was so delicious. I opted for the craft root beer which was superb. We both ordered burgers, fries and onion rings that were all fabulous. I can't leave out the souped up thousand island sauce that came with the burgers, I don't know what it was, but it is addictive! I may ask them when we return tomorrow how they make it. I know where my favorite place is when I visit Bridgewater/Plymouth area from now on. The entire team including our server were friendly, very attentive to customer service and made our visit a very pleasant experience. Don't forget to visit the outdoor area, it's a beautiful spot indeed. TY !! read more

Visited many times in the past. No issues with the food but I did have an issue with arriving at 2PM on a Friday and needing a reservation to sit. I don't have an issue with making reservations but I do when it's a brewery in the middle of the afternoon (during the week). I guess long gone are the days when you can just arrive and enjoy. We were able to be seated (thank you) at a table in the tented area but when we asked about moving to an outside table that was empty ( there were many) we were told they were reserved. We sat through the meal and when leaving most of those table were still empty. Based on this I probably won't return as I don't travel with that much focus on arriving at a scheduled time (outside dinner). Sorry but you lost me when you became a place you need to book ahead on a weekday afternoon - you aren't that special.... read more

Our group was there this past Saturday and the hostess, Ali, was amazing!! So nice with our walk up group in getting us a great table outside despite how crowded it was on a fall Saturday. Thanks, Ali - and our favorite beer was the Vermont IPA! read more
