    Fried chicken bowl with Thai chili sauce
    Sarah E.

    Celiac here - wow! When was the last time you had GF fried Chicken ? In Vermont?? Highly recommend

    a blackboard with a list of beers

    Didn't expect too much, honestly. They have a lot of seating outdoors off the sidewalk. The inside is pretty small with a small kitchen. They have 2 employees, bartender/server and a cook. You're told you can only order from the bar. I thought their Strawberry Shortcake was okay. It could have had more flavor in it. The food looked okay as it was being served to others (we didn't order food). There's one bathroom and some old magazines sitting on the bench in the hallway. It sounded like the AC unit was going to explode. It was loud. We were visiting the area, so we were just passing through. The service could have been more friendly.

    Maple soda
    Yaran S.

    The rice bowl was light and delicious. Portion is small. Service was good. Maple seltzer was just seltzer with maple syrup.

    Vienna style lager!

    Great beer, great food, great service and great atmosphere. Really enjoyed our visit to Whirligig Brewing last night. Highly recommend!

    We had dinner here recently. It was unremarkable. The drink I had was really good (the Ophelia), but those are Boston prices.

If you don't like crowds though, be prepared - this is always a tight one. I love big crowds and busy spaces, personally, so I was in my element! * If you want a sitting spot (for example at one of the tasting room outdoor tables) the reality is that you'll have to show up at 10am or even before, for the 11am opening, and wait in line. Live music was on all day and it was fun to watch people in traditional costumes dance! I loved the merch this year! The Oktoberfest mug is beautiful. Also got a tile, tee shirt, socks, some cans... As for the beer offerings - I admit I am not a beer drinker. I pretty much only drink beer from Schilling - but I've learned a few things from them and going to their fests... I don't like pilsners and light beers at all, or any "fruity" flavors. I love IPAs, and I can do marzens and darker beers. There was 50+ breweries represented at this Oktoberfest, some from as far as Germany, and a couple of Quebec and Ontario breweries too! All volunteers were friendly and knew their stuff. Overall this was another great day, with once again the weather on our side. I attended with my boyfriend (on a designated driver ticket) and a friend from town, and we all had a great time! I'll be back for Oktoberfest 2027 :)

After seeing the iconic Balsams, we were hungry and had the Reel Craft Pass. So we checked the brew houses and came up with Coös. Definitely the right choice. Entering the warehouse type setting, the brew mechanisms are on the left and the building's nave hosts several picnic benches , some really comfy sofas with side tables at one end, and on the other end, the service bar and kitchen. Bathrooms were at the entrance to the building and they are immaculate. The three servers on duty were charming and friendly, knowing everything about their trade and offerings. The cheerful welcome we got wars a part of the festivities. We ordered a Double Raspberry Sour - so good we had another one.... Then a Dooryard New England IPA, hoppy and aromatic. And then our last one was the Woodland Wit, a citrusy wheat beer with spices. Foodwise, we ordered the Veggie Lovers Personal Flatbread-Style Pizza, a delicious veggie pizza with a crusty base, and the Pepperoni & Burnt Haoney flatbread, delicious. We sat in their expansive outside seating area overlooking the beautiful Vermont peaks across t the river. A wonderful lunch ina spectacular place with superb brews.

Nestled right out of town, in the Industrial Complex, Coös (co-ahs) Brewing doesn't disappoint.

Beer flights of 4 and 6 available, in additional to a solid 8 rotating taps in various styles. Food menu is also available if you're feeling peckish. If you're taking in the sights via side-by-side or general leaf-peeping, checking out a new brewery and getting a nice brewski doesn't hurt.

The outdoor space has really been enhanced over the last few years and is a delightful place to bring friends and family.

All come in cans except Heady Topper, which you can grab on draft from a refrigerated beer engine. I have to say, having it on draft is a magical experience. Their aluminum cups are quite cute and you can take them home. Food is from a truck. Jamaican food that can be quite overwhelming with salt and spice if you're not careful. The potatoes were especially good. They hold events on their website including Boogie Bingo which we attended on Thursday night. Great host with a very dry sense of humor. We come up to Vermont every year, and this will definitely become a regular spot for us. Cheers!

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!
