It had been several years since our prior trip, and it looks like the time has served them well!…read more The venue is now much bigger (the building was expanded), with a good amount of indoor seating at both the bar and some separate tables. Parking seemed plentiful as well. The beer was solid, as I had remembered. We were short on time and my liver was short on remaining capacity, but it was great to be back and see the growth. The venue has such a great small, friendly feel to it, the staff were very friendly both visits, and this time they had live music as well. Stop by and try a pint - they have several styles to choose from, including a great NEIPA and bottle saison that I took to go.

The beer garden is very nice and has a relaxing atmosphere. The benches and everything looked very well taken care of and they even had some games out! And most of the seating table/chairs had a canopy set up so that we weren't sitting directly under the blistering sun. We tried all the beers, and they were all good. With any food/drinks, it's always a very subject thing, so all I can say is try it for yourself, but they had quite a spread of beers and we really enjoyed our time here.

Polyculture Brewing has been progressively operating as a business for over three years, selling…read moretheir varied products through markets and convenience stores until this year, when they opened up their beer garden. The beer garden is a beautiful, relaxing and welcoming place, surrounded by a vegetable garden and hop vines. Alternative music fills the air at a comfortable level as patrons mill about in socially distanced tables. Some folks stay in the beer garden; some purchase their 4-packs and leave. Their offerings include several IPAs, pilsners, and hard seltzers. I tried their Rustic, New England IPA, a lighter flavored and yet delicious IPA, followed by their Tangerine Speedo, a citrusy, California-type IPA. My husband flavored the Jet Lag, a German-styled Pilsner, heavier than the ones at the Hoffbrauhouse, but nonetheless a most superb tasting selection. Food wise, their offerings are limited to cheese and crackers but their cheese is Vermont's Cabot. A worthy weekend experience

They are in the process of changing equipment and had to drain all their tanks. Bwaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!! Now for the celebration: they had some awesome brews from local NH and VT establishments and they rocked. Plus: their food is amazing I had their empanadas and pulled pork tacos Service is superb. The two waiter persons we had were absolutely amazing And then there was the ambiance. Some of the best I've seen on a microbrew. We'll be back in a month or so. They will have their selections on tap and there is nothing more scenic than an active flight line.

I love when old buildings get a second life, and Post and Beam did a really nice job renovating this former Civil War Veterans' hall. The front yard could use a little sprucing, but the side patio and inside were clean and well kept. The small outdoor patio ended up being the perfect spot to sit and sip our hazy IPAs. Cool place and definitely worth a stop.

Crisp, fruity, and super refreshing, it's exactly what you want on a warm day. The taproom has a darker, cozier vibe. Our server was friendly, attentive, and clearly knew the lineup well. What really adds to the charm is the building's history. Originally built in 1837 as a private academy, it later served as a Civil War veterans' hall before becoming home to the brewery. You can feel the past in the details, Post & Beam has done a great job preserving that legacy. Unfortunately, no dogs allowed inside or outside on their patio

The Harpoon Brewery in Windsor, Vermont is famous for its brews, but I really like their menu…read more Simply put, it is comfort food and it is good. Most of the menu items here are not like a gourmet Vermont experience. Instead, they are simply, darn flippin' good! Menu items here are simple and breezy. Get the baked potato with pulled pork, cheddar, bacon, chives and sour cream. If I made the same dish, as easy as it seems, it would definitely not turn out as delicious. With this glorious baked potato, there was a white, shredded cheese. I am not used to this at all because usually you usually get orange cheddar cheese on a potato, but this is Vermont. People new to the region - like me - notice simple touches like white cheddar cheese and it's little things like that that really make a difference in having an authentic New England experience. And now onto the Hebrew National Franks: they are on New England rolls. I didn't know what those were until I ordered them, but this makes a total difference. They are soft and heated and have a shiny, buttery finish. On their winter menu, I have also tried the Space Cake beer fried chicken sandwich. I thought it might be a sweet, fried, hot honey kind of chicken sammie, but I don't think that option is on their menu yet. The fried chicken coating was good. This Space Cake sandwich came with sweet potato waffle fries. Oh my goodness! Definitely get these. Get them as an appetizer. Take them home with you. Whatever. You need them. They're delicious. This was all on their winter menu. On their summer menu, I enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich with steakhouse fries. Thoroughly fabulous. We also enjoyed the butternut squash salad with fresh cranberries from their summer menu. The lettuce was so darn fresh. It really makes a difference in the flavors and the whole experience here. Now onto the beers: there are so many draughts to choose from! Aside from a suite of brewed-on-site Harpoon beers, you can also get at least 3 UFO hefeweizen brews and 3 Clown Shoes beers. The UFO wheat beers are a favorite here: I had White (orange and coriander), Maine Blueberry and Strawberry Lemonade Shandy The Clown Shoes beers seem popular here, but were too intense for me. The Vodka Whips - inspired by the beloved Maryland Orange Crush drinks - are good. I thought was ordering a Cardi B Whip Shot, so when I got it, I realized these two drinks are not the same. Vodka Whips vs. Whip Shots: who knew. Camp Wannamango by Harpoon is a not-to-miss. I also liked the Maple Bourbon Barrel-aged Mountain Ale. Not a fan of any of the IPA's anywhere, including here, unless they are doubles. The Harpoon Cider is tasty. The Dunkin' beers are fabulous branding and interesting. Some I like ... while others are - again - just not watered-down enough for me. I hope someone is laughing at what a lightweight I am when it comes to sturdy beers.

Beer Makers' products are mediocre at best. Seven dollar pints demand better. The setting is stark. Confusing theme of historic industrial and very amatuer, abstract, wall art. No table service. No wine offering for the ladies. Other than tiny bags of chips no food offering. Clientele is light to non existent. On my first visit, witnessed a single mother wet nursing at the bar. Guess that's a Vermont thing? On the upside, the barkeep is gregarious and likable. Noted postings for attractions, which may draw a crowd. Beer Makers is an ideal candidate for Bar Makeover. I hope they up their act. The potential is there.

We sat in the bar area and service was quick. I will say the only thing I didn't like was the Old Fashioned which was served with regular ice cubes instead of one big cube so the drink got watery very fast. It also just wasn't a high end OF like I'm used to so I would 100% not order it again. There were plenty of other good drink options though and I will try one next time.

Food is invariably excellent and the staff is well trained and very helpful. As usual, we went in and were seated immediately. I had their Gorgonzola salad with salmon on top and washed it down with their Rags to Riches IPA. Our entire party was quite pleased with the evening. Our only lack of satisfaction was in the lack of the giant pretzels they used to have. No more. Instead, they have locally made ale pretzels which although healthier, are almost impassable with a hard texture that is unpretzel-like. I encourage the Flying Goose to bring back their old-style pretzels or redo the ale pretzel recipe from scratch. Great evening.
