Long Trail Brewing Company

Vermont


Halfway between Killington and Woodstock, the brewer of 'Vermont's No 1 Selling Amber' draws crowds for self-guided brewery tours and a sunny riverside deck where you can enjoy sandwiches, burgers, salads (mains $12 to $17) and, of course, beer. Order a four-beer sampler ($7 or $8) to taste a mix of classic and seasonal brews.
