Breweries:
We will have 36 breweries at each session with 10 out-of-state/country brewers joining us for this year’s festival. Having our brewers attend one to three tasting sessions rather than spending the entire weekend on the waterfront for four sessions will help ease the stress of running business and being at our event. Many brewers are still very much understaffed. We don’t want to overwork our brewers — instead we want to show them how much we appreciate them! To see the most up-to-date brewery line-up click here

NEW for 2025: To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Vermont Brewers Association we are launching a statewide collaboration beer fundraiser. The goal of this collaboration is to give participating brewers the flexibility to create a beer that best suits their brand and customers, while still tying into the larger collaborative spirit of the VBA. Each brewery can select the style they want to brew using one of the custom hop blends created for this milestone year and has access to discounted materials from several supplier vendors. These beers will be debuted at the Vermont Brewers Festival and you can learn more about the project & who is participating here.
Tasting Bracelet & Pour Size:
Each attendee will receive bracelets with 15 pull tabs on them to use for drink tickets. You may choose your sample size. You receive 15 beer samples with admission. You may purchase 5 extra beer tickets at the VBA tent for $10. Designated Drivers cannot receive any alcoholic drink tastings.
- 1 sample/pull tab = 3 oz.
- 2 samples/pull tab = 6oz.
- 3 samples/pull tab = 9oz.
- Beers over 9% ABV require x2 pull tabs.
