    Not a lot of places are open on a Monday so in our search we found Rock Art Brewery and headed there from downtown Stowe. Quick drive and we were greeted by the owner Renee who was friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. We were also greeted by their dog Ridge who was the goodest boy! What we expected to be a quick tasting ended up being a two hour visit because of how much we enjoyed the conversation and beers. Their beers are full of flavor and truly delicious. The worst part was that we can't order and ship them home so took a few four packs with us and will have to make a trip back for more. Highly recommend Rock Art Brewery!

    What a cute place. They have a variety of beers and ciders available for sampling at a small price. Dylan was working the day we stopped in, and he was so helpful and patient with us with all our questions. He was super knowledgeable and made the experience that much better. We sampled a few beers and a Gose. I am not a fan of sours, but this one was very mild and something I could actually see myself drinking. I did buy some of their Rocktober Fest Marsen and a case of the seltzers to enjoy at home. They have lots of artwork on the walls, that are available for purchase. There is an upstairs which we didn't get to see. Thanks for a great visit!

    Belvedere IPA is sold out for the season but new and exciting IPAs are coming out! So conveniently located to pick up a four pack or 4 four packs to go! Just wish they get some good brats to complete the perfect happy hour location!

    Dog approved!

    Well behaved leashed dogs allowed outside! Bring your dogs by after a hike! I wish I could give this place another star! This is the perfect combination of beer and art. There is an entire art gallery inside/ upstairs supporting over 50 local artists. You can also take a look at the brew operation through big windows! The owner, Renee, was very friendly and even brought my dogs a bowl of water! There is even a food truck outside! 10/10 recommend!

    We stopped at Rock Art Brewery at roughly the same time as two other men, so the bar tender poured all of our flights at the same time and took the time to walk us through their beer. We were able to try Limited Access, Vermonster, Vermont Maple Wheat Ale, Sunny and 75, Black Current Saison, Mosaic Double IPA, Grapefruit IPA, Stump Jumper Gnarly Stout, and Sun Rocked IPA. I'm not normally a huge fan of IPAs and fall into the trap of *shrug*, yeah it tastes like an IPA - but it was interesting to taste a few different takes and notice some of the differences between the IPAs. Everyone there was very nice and it's a nice big sampling - so if you like tasting a little bit of everything, this is the brewery stop for you!

    Very good beer and an amazing friendly staff. They moved from their previous location which was a warehouse to a new facility with a beautiful tasting room & shop in the front with the brewery in the back. They had even planted hops by porch in the front recently and gave some roots to one of the other people who was visiting while I was there. So I ordered up a tasting which comes with a glass you can take home and started trying beers. The IPA was very good and had strong floral notes with a good hoppy bite to it. Not as strong as a West Coast one, but not your typical IPA. The Whitetail Ale was a slightly bitter light ale that was easy drinking, but nothing too special. Next was the Ridge Runner which was a light barleywine. Very flavorful with a nice chocolate finish. The last one was the American Red which was surprisingly malty and complex for a red ale.

    Great beer! Samples, growlers, bottles, everything.

    Visiting this brewery was a perfect experience! First we had some beer flights. They're a sample of four beers which was only $4. The beer was simply amazing. I recommend the Vermonter, the IPA and also my wife liked the Saison. We went on a tour which is really only sitting in one room and talking with an employee. This was so cool- I actually learned how beer was made and a lot of information on the process. The gift/retail store is great for any gifts and they sell so many different types of beer. I recommend this place for tourists and simply anyone who likes beer.

    We always like a brewery that allows you to try all the beers in a tasting that's not too much to drink. Art forward. Intimate setting. It is oddly on a main road facing a gas station, but the building itself is nice and comfortable to hang out at. Beer wasn't very cold but good nonetheless. Worth the trip if in the Stowe area

    Visited Rock Art Brewery on a recent trip to Smugglers Notch. My boyfriend and I each had a flight of beers. We went upstairs where we enjoyed some local artwork while playing a game of checkers. We ended up buying a 4 pack of Vermonster and the Limited Access IPA. Definitely worth a visit!

    Great beer. Average brewery. Prior to visiting VT, I had tried some of Rock Art's beers. I was a big fan of the Vermonster and their Black IPA when I tried them and was really anticipating my trip to the brewery. On my trip here, I was surprised that after walking through the door, I was the only visitor in the whole place. You have your choice of sampling 4 or 8 samples of their beer on tap. I chose 4 as I was planning to visit another brewery later that evening and didn't want to get too buzzed. I sampled their Hourglass amber ale, Saison black currant, Simcoe IPA, and Ridgerunner Barleywine. All beers were excellent and I even decided to purchase a couple of bottles to go including their Maple Wheat and Gruit (brewed without hops) which also proved to be tasty. I know what you're thinking but yes, even the hopless beer was pretty good! The brewery/sampling area was a bit scarce. Eventually two other guys sat at the bar and sampled a few beers but that was about the extent of the excitement. No one was giving tours and no one really seemed to be paying attention to us except for the bartender, who was a nice guy, but didn't exactly seem like he wanted to be there. My final advice would be to check out Rock Art if you are in the area but don't go out of your way. Your beer experience will not be disappointing but don't come looking for a lively experience.

So while on a trip and looking for a spot to grab some lunch naturally we ended up picking this spot. I've been aware of Lost Nation Brewing but it's been since 2016/2017 when I had a beer from them last. To start they have ample parking and have a nicely painted mural on the side of their building. They have an indoor section we did not check that out and instead sat at the bar in the outdoor section. How can you pass up looking into the kitchen and also the wafting scents of burgers, fries and everything else being cooked. Despite a chillier day than most we have had lately it was worth it! Besides their own brews they had guest taps, guest botttles/cans, and even some cocktails including some spiked apple cider for that fall feeling drink. For beer fans they even had a rotating Hillfarmstead DIPA for a guest tap. I ended up getting their Kolsch and my wife got their gose. Both very solid beers and worth grabbing. Food wise they had a couple burgers, fried chicken sandwich, pulled pork, turkey sandwich, hot dogs, and some small plates. My wife ended up choosing the burger and I got their fried chicken sandwich. She enjoyed the burger and thought it was cooked very well. The chicken sandwich was delicious, the fact it was smothered in honey did make it a bit messy to eat but tasted so good! The fries we got were massive and well seasoned and the side of pickles were great too. Would be a no brainer to get either one again if we visit again! Bartender was friendly and we didn't wait long at all for the drinks or food! Well made brews paired along side delicious food, really what more could you ask for? If you visit during warmer weather it appeared they have a huge outdoor area further back than we were in as well! If you like visiting breweries add this to your list to check out!

This brewery was known to be superior 8 or so years ago. Us hop heads in CT dreamed about it but never tasted. We were curious, their location was intriguing. It also made us skeptical. So the snow is falling, it's approaching 4pm, the drive brings you up a hill on the dirt road. Add beer to the uncertainty of the moment, it was perfect for anxiety, excitement and first tastes. Draft one was a nitro stout. Yeah, like Guinness but... UNBELIEVABLE. Just that good. Then an IPA close to their origin. Simple. Again, UNBELIEVABLE. Easy sell, I bought each 4 pack available. Asked for a restaurant in Montpelier. The Three Penny Taproom was... UNBELIEVABLE. (Chickpeas, Chicken Nuggs and Hill Farmstead all over the place.) Of course the brewery guys recommended it, and the gas station at Willey's in Greensboro. So we survived the "brief flurry", and a Taproom extraordinaire. The beer is ready for a Connecticut Christmas and will be compared to the beer from Burlington, Stowe and Deerfield. All great brews. The anticipation of enjoying Hill Farmstead beer was just as exciting as the trip and first taste. So, If you need a trip, find them. No complaining about the distance and remoteness, please. It's where they are. Yeah, you can find the beer in other places in state. I look forward to getting it at those spots. I look forward to seeing the brewery in the summer!

We loved the chill vibe of the location, as they had an open outdoors area with seating and lawn games, including disc golf and corn hole. There was also an outdoor patio with a couch and stage for live performances. It was a place I could see myself kicking back at on the regular if I were local to the area.
