Stopped in here on the advice of another brewery across the street as I was looking for more "robust" beers - ambers, porters, stouts. Queen City did not disappoint - they are a british-style craft brewer, and I was pleasantly surprised at the taste of many of the brews. We each ordered a different flight of 4, so got to sip on 8 different brews (some hoppy for my hubby) - all of them were nice on the palate, and it was relaxing there. folks had takeout food with them (the brewery is attached to a pizza place) and that looked good also but we had just eaten somewhere else so regretfully had to 'pass' on the pizza. Special shout out to the Yorkshire Porter! read more

Decent beer. Not a huge selection but a good variety. It was wicked loud in the tap room almost to the point of being obnoxious. The server was nice and friendly. Parking was adequate. Restrooms clean. It checked all the normal boxes but the noise (which I never complain about) and the limited selections would make me vote no on a return. read more

Dog friendly brewery. Ample seating. Friendly staff. You can order pizza next door and they'll deliver it. Multiple non alcoholic options. European mostly German style beers with a Czech Pilsner option. $7-16oz $5-12oz $4-6oz $10/flight of 4 read more

Checked out another one of the many breweries in Burlington. It happens to be attached to a pizza place. Queen City is good even for just the beer though. Lively atmosphere without being noisy and way crowded. The bar area isn't that big, but there's enough room for a group. A lot of people who come here know about it because of the pizza place that shares the same building. In fact, you can order a pizza from there at the bar and they'll bring it. They're actually another business, so this will just focus on the beers though. It's about $7 a pint. The beer menu has a variety on tap. Best one we had was the Poludnitsa, a Czech Pilsner. Great taste and it wasn't filling. It's light at 5% ABV. This has a bright spicy hop finish. Lots of ales and lagers to choose. These of course go good with a pizza. Get some beers. It has a ton to choose from. There's also the pizza place if wanting to eat something. read more

Queen City is fairly unique because they brew a lot of beer styles that most other area breweries do not. The focus here is on European Styles. My very favorite is their Yorkshire Porter. My husband is always thrilled to have an ESB or the Raushbier. The bartenders are well informed about their products and the decor is appealing. read more

Queen City Brewery - Cheers! - Breweries Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Bought a six pack of South End Lager and at first crack, Wow! This is a tasty lager, looking forward to sampling other brews.

They have a great event space (fits up to 80 people) and were super easy to work with to coordinate our event! Great beverage menu as well!

Stopped into Queen City on our brewery tour. It's directly across the street from Zero Gravity. Nice cozy tap room. Friendly bartenders and clientele. Very different tap list from other breweries who are heavy into IPA's. So, I was delighted to enjoy their Schwarzbier which was very good. My sister got a flight, of course. She especially liked the Gregarious (a Scotch Ale) and the Steinbier. Would not hesitate to return. read more

QCB has a good sized space and is conveniently across the street from Zero Gravity so we ended up here after trying for a table across the street. The beers are fun and mainly international which I liked, but after trying 2 flights I couldn't find too much I wanted to drink more of. The staff was friendly and for a Friday night the place was fairly empty and relaxed so it was a nice way to unwind after a long day. read more

A friend and I really enjoyed Queen City brewing! It truly is more of a brewery than a bar, which was really cool. You can see all the tanks where they brew their beer. I tried a couple of their dark beers and they were tasty. The service was friendly and they're pet friendly, so we saw a couple of cute puppies as well. If you're nearby, it's worth a stop! read more

Love this place ! Great atmosphere and an awesome staff make this a real treasure to the Burlington micro brewery community.

Ended our brewery hop at Queen City Brewery on Sunday evening. Focused on old world styles, they have a huge selection and truly care about the beer they serve up. Quality: Loved the massive selection of old world beer at Queen City Brewery. We made our way through Flights of Munich Dunkel, Rauchbier, Jazz From Hell, and Barge Canal, as well as Mailbock, Steinbier, Psycho Keller, and Monk of Underhill. While it is tough to pick favorites, as the quality and consistency were excellent, I think the Rauchbier and the Munich Dunkel were ones I would quickly order again. Quantity: Pours in the Flights were a bit small. Value: $10 for Flights. $7 for Draughts. Ambiance: Queen City Brewery sits towards the back of an industrial building, which has a large private space and a pizzeria in front. The brewery itself is build around a square bar in the center, with just a few tables to the sides. Almost everyone chose a seat at the bar, and there was a lot of banter. In the background some 90s and early 2000 jams played, a few folks were singing along. Crowd: A small, but rowdy crowd. Lots of friendly regulars. Service: Wonderful and kind bartender, love that the next door pizza spot also brought in a pie no one picked up. Parking: Shared parking area. read more

I'm not usually a big fan of German beers but I still enjoyed our stop at Queen City Brewery while visiting the area. My boyfriend and I got a flight to share and the bartender was really friendly. It's a casual, fun place to hang out and have a couple beers. We weren't hungry but I think they have some snacks and pretzels. I thought the vintage car above the bar was really cool, but other than that, the atmosphere is a little sterile. Overall it was a pleasant stop and easy to hit up before or after checking out Zero Gravity across the street. I personally prefer Zero Gravity. If you like German beers, definitely check out Queen City Brewery. read more

Spent our last day visiting Burlington at Queen City Brewery. The beer was excellent, the service was great. We also had the added bonus of talking to the owners in the new Biergarten. I highly recommend a visit if you want to relax and enjoy a great beer... or two, or read more

Queen City Brewery - two glasses of beer on a table - Breweries Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Amazing beer selection, no bad beers on draft, excellent staff. You owe it to yourself to go here.

Boy was this place fun! The space is well organized with great parking in a walkable part of town. The bartenders were awesome and the beer was good. I also ordered the root beer which was so multidimensional that it made all the beer flavors flat. Also got to try the quetzel which was a sourdough pretzel made for the place. While it would be great marketing to serve with a mustard or beer cheese made from one of their beers, the sourdough was a nice texture and went great with regular mustard. Filled a brought in growler though the potholes of Burlington did not take kindly to it. read more

Queen City Brewery - Root beer - Breweries Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

A very chill environment. Unlike some of the neighboring breweries, this one was busy, but not to the point where you're talking over each other trying to grab a drink. Everyone here was relaxed and ready to have a great time. We didn't stay very long, but Queen City made quite the impression on me. It was also pretty cool to watch two employees drop some serious beer knowledge about their brews to a curious customer. I will say that this brewery might not have all the glitz and glamour (huge selection or tons of food options) that some of the other breweries have, but if you want something calmer and just a place to enjoy a drink or two, this is your spot! read more

Queen City Brewery - You can't tell me this doesn't look refreshing af - Breweries Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Queen City is a little bit more modest and laid back than some other Burlington breweries, but that doesn't make it any worse. I really liked it. The decor is creative and funky. I really liked the German Bier trays and the old pick up truck. They have a nice bar, as well as some outside seating. The beers run the spectrum, and each one is pretty bold in flavor. They seem to have every one of the standard kinds. The bartenders were very helpful. When I asked for a glass of water, they even gave me Brita-filtered instead of just straight from the tap. read more

Stopped in here the other day while visiting my brother in Burlington to do a brew tour! Staff was super friendly and helpful! All the beers were extremely tasteful, we started with a flight and got a beer each! I highly recommend getting the "Quetzels" a Queen City staple! Will definitely stop in here again on another brew tour ! read more

Queen City Brewery - If you like pretzels, you will love their q shaped pretzels better known as Quetzels ! - Breweries Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

QCB for the most part brews old world style beers, and they do a reasonably good job at that. Nothing particularly bad, but also nothing that is particularly stellar. Burlington has some steep competition in the beer world, and they are trying to carve out their niche by not focusing on hazy dipas and pastry stouts. Worthwhile to visit is you enjoy Euro-style old world lagers, but not a must-visit at this point. read more

Small craft brewery with an excellent selection of beers (I think there were 8 on tap when we visited). QCB has good seating around a center bar with high top tables on the side by the window. It is cheap - a flight of 4 for $4 and they do have a larger selection than some of the other local breweries. The brewery is without gimmicks, as some might appreciate, and just aims to provide a laid back atmosphere. It is dog-friendly (like most of the breweries). As an added bonus, Zero Gravity is right across the street. read more

We did a mini brewery tour on a visit to the Winooski/Burlington area over memorial day weekend. The beers are pretty good here. We purchased some tasty sauces and mustards from the goodies shop area. A nice space with good options for food. We didn't eat, but the menu looked good! read more

What a nice brewery which offered something different from the Burlington norm. The Dunkel is wonderful, and all other German-inspired beers performed well. If you're looking for something other than IPA's, then go here. Beer lovers need to add this location to their list. read more

Queen City is a brewery they looks a little old on the inside not like your typical brewery.. they have a lot of different types of beer but compared to the other breweries in the area they are not adventurous enough for my liking. The pretzels are amazing I HIGHLY recommend them. Also they allow furry friends which is the best part about breweries ! read more

Friendly place, great beers and the dogs are welcome in the tasting room. Set back from the street behind the cleaners. Laid back, antique wooden bar. No TV, just conversation--what a concept! A few bar munchies available, $2 for soft pretzel, $4 for bratwurst. Hubby really liked the Monk of Underhill Belgian Tripel, ABV 9.3%. Try the all natural root beer, $3/pint. read more

You have to love a place that has something called the gauntlet. Sample all 9 or 10 of there beers at once. Great mix of types of beer which is nice because sometimes you show up at a brewery and its 6 types of ipa's. Ain't nobody got time for that. I got time for Queen City though! read more

Super disappointed! Stopped here while visiting multiple breweries in Burlington. This brewery was one I was excited about, as I had seen a lot of the beers at various bars in VT. I've been to a fair share of breweries, but found this one very stuffy. Many breweries have a relaxed atmosphere with music and games, but this one was a U shaped bar and tables with no real place to hang out. I shared a flight with my boyfriend and we both agreed the beers were just ok. I noticed that a lot did not have flavors that stood out, and we even compared one to a Bud Light. The bartender was very friendly though and it was clean inside, but there are definitely better breweries to check out in Burlington. read more

I'm glad they have beers that aren't IPA, and I love German Beers but the two of us only got two 6 oz drinks because the guy wasn't friendly..... and was kind of rude....... read more

They specialize in brewing old school European beers, and they do a solid job at that - but in comparison w/ all the other exciting breweries in BVT I found it hard to really get into my beer & experience at Queen City. Beers are fine, service was solid enough. Feels a little chain restaurant-y, which isn't my thing. I wouldn't hesitate to pop in if I lived across the street.....but not the kind of place I get into the car for. Either way, drink local! read more

This brewery was suggested to us by another brewery while we were visiting Burlington. If you like German style beer this is the place for you. They had so many different beers and I did not have one I did not like. The staff were fun and nice and the atmosphere was good. We came here twice over the weekend we were there to drink their beer. read more

Best Oktoberfest in the game! I love this brewery. Vermont's finest! The whole crew is so wonderful, some of my favorite people!

Honestly, the place is cool but my husband and I were not a fan of any of their beers. We got 4 flights and were hoping they would let us sample the last 2 that we weren't able to include but the guy wanted us to order another flight! We tried to throw 'em back but none of them wowed us. I guess it just wanted our cup of tea. Staff was ok, they were not very friendly or engaging. We basically read the menu and descriptions for the tastings. read more

I was in town for a visit and was having A DAY (the kind of day that only a beer is going to help with). I decided the only cure for my mood and the events of my day would be a self-guided brewery tour. I lived in Burlington several years ago and since I left the beer industry has started booming (I can only imagine Burlington had to cope with the loss of me by turning to beer...), but the only brewery I'd been to before this trip was Citizen Cider. So anyway. I was having a day. I sidled on up to the bar at Queen City and ordered a flight. I ordered the hefeweizen, porter, and asked for two surprises. All four of the beers were great, but I was a HUGE fan of the hefeweizen. One of the bartenders, probably sensing my inner struggle, spent a solid 15 minutes chatting with me which I was so grateful for. In the end I went to four breweries on my self-guided tour. I'm really loving the scene in my former hometown. But Queen City -- my first stop-- was top on my list. *Great* bartenders, great beer, stellar variety, free pretzels (which I didn't eat, but it's nice to know they're there!) good vibe. Thank you, Queen City Brewery for getting my pouty face off and replacing it with a smile. I'll be back. read more
