About
Temporarily closed as of 07/29/2026 until further notice.

Located at the heart of the Green Mountains, we have the absolute pleasure of serving homemade food that is fresh and creative alongside handcrafted beer. Our brewmaster uses high quality grains, hops and yeast to create beers that are fresh, flavorful and accessible to a variety of palates. We are excited to be a part of America's craft beer revolution and are thrilled to be able to serve some of the best beers the country has to offer.

In the kitchen, our goal is to create food that is wholesome and interesting to insure locals and visitors return often. We design our menus around the seasons and what is available in and around Addison County while borrowing techniques from a range of world cuisine. We work hard to bring quality and consistency to the table, offering food that is informal enough for a quick meal with neighbors but worthy of an important celebration.

The Bobcat Cafe and Brewery opened in 2002 as a community supported business designed to be a “third place” (a social retreat or meeting space away from home and work). Today we continue to support the community by hosting Wednesday night benefit dinners and by providing a comfortable and fun spot where neighbors and friends can meet up and enjoy a beer and a meal together.

Come check us out and enjoy!

Prayer Rock Pale Ale from The Bobcat Cafe & Brewery
10 years ago
7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
On tap at the brewpub.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a pale/burnt malty bronzed/semi-burnt orange color. Thin white foamy head that quickly dissipated. Light lacing ran here and there.
The smell had a ton of pale burnt toasty crisp sweet malts up front, really coming through like an English pale ale but nothing close to any \"soapiness\" normally associated with the style.
The taste was basically the same with a smooth sweet malty feel sliding into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a great sessionability about it. Carbonation rides super light and ends up creating a semi-creamy sort of effect rolling over my tongue.
Overall, yeah, this is not an APA, definitely leans towards the English styled pale ale with the malts really embracing the aroma, flavor and feel. I’d have again.

Citra Pils from The Bobcat Cafe & Brewery
10 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
At the brewpub, this was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy transparent yellow color with a filmy white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds leaving some filmy lacing roaming all around the glass.
The smell had some dried citra hops over a crispy to spiced grassy hoppiness. The taste was mainly the same, just like a Czech Pilsener. Quick semi-sweet aftertaste. Smooth grassy finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation ran light and smooth for what it was.
Overall, for a Czech Pilsener, it damn sure works, I’d have again.

Haven-ly Hefe from The Bobcat Cafe & Brewery
10 years ago
7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7
Yeah, I know it wasn’t served in a weizen glass, usually, I’m anal. Eh, but I’m getting appropriate characteristics. Here’s the rest in a pint glass.
The appearance was a cloudy yellow color. Head dissipated immediately. No lace.
The smell had all of the normal characteristics of a hefeweizen ’ s aromatics - good amount of spicy clove hitting banana esters sweetly. Normal weizen /yeastiness slides in for the balance.
The taste was sweet and \"hefeweizen\" spicy with the appropriate quick sweet to spicy finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing the spice to hit but not too harsh.
Overall, hey, despite being in a pint glass, this is a pretty good hefeweizen.

Bristol Pride from The Bobcat Cafe & Brewery

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Oaked orange appearance. Sticky head. Aroma of not much. Hard to detect much. So bitter. And dank. Just chewy without a lot of malt. Touch of sweetness at the finish.
