Description
Rutland Beer Works is a 15-barrel brewery in the heart of Rutland, Vermont. We started brewing at our downtown location at 41 Center Street, serving primarily on location at Hop’n Moose Pub with limited distribution in Vermont. Since expanding to a larger production facility at 136 Granger Street, we still have a full line-up of beers available at the Hop’n Moose Pub. With the increased production, Rutland Beer Works beer is available throughout the state in cans and on tap.
Visit us at the Hop’n Moose Pub and have a pint with a wood-fired pizza, sandwich, or burger. While you’re there be sure to check out the 7-barrel copper brewhouse up front and get fresh cans and growler fills to go!
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for taproom event information including Open House hours and brewery tours.
Admin Note: Formerly known as Hop n' Moose Brewing Company that was established in 2014. In 2017-2018 Hop n' Moose opened a second brewing location and Rutland Beer Works was born. Hop n' Moose brands have been carried over to the Rutland name.

16oz can pour a lightly hazy gold with some soapy, lacing white head. Nose is interesting, fresh cream and grass, some herbs, some honey, a touch papery, pithy. Flavor is a little better, certainly smoother, honey, orange, lemon, grist, some soap, some herbs. Finishes a touch chalky. Not exactly New England style.

From my brother: pours hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is fresh citrus and weed. Powerful aroma. Taste is moderately bitter. Bright. Some mild aftertaste. Low to no sweetness. Quite good.

Can. Pours hazy golden, medium creamy white head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is light, notes of melon, mango, grapefruit. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, tropical leaning. Medium body. Solid effort from a new brewery.

16 oz. can purchased at CBC, Waterbury. The can states it is 9% ABV. Cloudy appearance just like 99.9 % of all IPA's in 2017. Aroma is mild fruit, malt, light grassy hints. Flavor have a bold malt backbone with plenty of lingering grass. Candied fruit. Grassy bitterness becomes very assertive as it warms.
Body is only mildly sticky in texture. Booze is pretty well hidden. Overall, pretty decent, rides the line of real sweet.

Bottleshare at Leighton’s gaff. Big thanks to Leighton for the can. Lightly hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Thin malts, light sweetness. Thin floralness. Mildly tangy orange peel. Decent hop spice. Mild pine. Spicy tangy finish. Lacks a bit of punch and fullness but quite drinkable.

Can shared in London - big thanks to drsandman. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds ripe citrus, orange, cheese, pine, rich bread. Medium sweet flavour with more bready malts, faint caramel, jammy citrus, bitter pine. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Resinous and sticky in the finish, with more ripe citrus, pale bread, mellow bitterness. So so overall. A little heavy handed.
