Description
Veteran-owned and Operated Nano brewery in Westford, VT. The brewery name is derived after returning home from a deployment with the Vermont Army National Guard in 2005 and wanting to hang out with my friends on a regular basis after being gone for over a year. When we tried to come up with a name we kept coming back to inspiration that Charlie Papazian gives home brewers in his famous book "The Joy of Homebrewing." Charlie always says, "relax have a homebrew." This inspiration led us to talk about what we think about when drinking beer, we called out words like, relaxing, feet up, easy drinking, and then kicking back was suggested. That's when we stopped and said, "That's it, that's the name, it has to be Kickback." I hope you and your friends can sit down to a session and enjoy the beers I make. I put every effort to research and develop beers that I would like to drink and stay true to our motto. "Kickback, relax and have a beer."

Admin Note: This brewery is not open to the public.
