Welcome to von Trapp Brewing

Enjoy flavorful, crisp lagers at von Trapp Brewing, located at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont.

Over the course of many visits to Austria, Johannes von Trapp, the youngest son of Maria and the Baron, gained an appreciation for the crisp, clean Austrian lager beers. When the craft beer movement in the United States gained momentum in the early 1990s, there was a noticeable lack of focus on lagers. It’s not surprising, considering that lagers are more challenging to brew, take longer to mature, and are therefore more expensive to create. For two decades Johannes dreamed of building an Austrian-style brewery at the Trapp Family Lodge, and in 2010 that dream came to fruition.

A humble brewery with the capacity of 2,000 barrels per year attracted attention under the name Trapp Lager, and the brewery received requests from all over the United States. The von Trapp family, who had always been reticent to commercialize their family heritage, realized that they had a product deserving of the family name. The new facility, completed in 2015 under the name von Trapp Brewing, allowed the family to expand beyond their home territory and spread the gospel of craft lagers.

En fut à la brasserie. De couleur brune, la mousse ne colle pas beaucoup. Les arômes sont fumés avec des notes de fruits des champs. Au goût, les sucres du malt ressortent bien en y laissant s’échapper des accents de mélasse de petits fruits, de caramel. Très relevé comme goût. La texture est un peu mince cependant.

En fut à la brasserie. Dorée tirant sur le orangé, petite mousse qui colle très bien et qui laisse une belle dentelle.. En olfactif, on sent la levure lager avec de petits accents maltés. Au goût, on est dans l’écorce de grain. Elle est sèche en bouche avec un petit arrière gout de houblon européen. Sa palette se situe surtout dans les grains de céréales. Une bonne lager.

Tap: Poured a clear dark brown color lager with a small dark foamy head with average retention. Aroma of chocolate malt notes is very nice with light dry notes also noticeable. Taste is also dominated by chocolate malt notes with light dry roasted malt notes and light caramel. Body is somewhat thing with average carbonation. Nice level of complexity with great drinkability factor.

Tap: Poured a light clear amber color lager with a small foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of light cereal notes with light caramelized malt notes. Taste is a mix of light medium-sweet caramel malt with some cereal and grainy notes. Body is light with good carbonation. Nothing earth shattering here but well balanced and easily drinkable.

Tap: Poured a clear light yellow color ale with a medium white head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma consists of light wheat malt note with some dry floral hoppy notes. Taste is also dominated by dry floral hoppy notes with light wheat notes and some cereal notes are also discernable. Body is light with medium carbonation. Good but I think it would have been even better if more wheat had been used.

Dégustée en fût chez "The Reservoir Restaurant & Taproom" à Waterbury, VT. De couleur jaune et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle sucrés, léger de houblon herbeux avec des traces de pain. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture légèrement huileuse. Goût de grains de malt pâle frais et légèrement sucrés dès l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute des notes de pain ainsi que des traces de biscuits et de miel puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (foin, notes de gazon mouillé). Post-goût moyen, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec un léger goût de grains de malt. (1er mai 2013)

Draft, Three Penny Taproom. Clear straw yellow in color. Good retention. Nose is grassy hops and traces of malt. Strong amount of grain. Tiny bitterness in the finish. Floral hops. Texture is light and thin. True to the style. Decent. This style in general isn’t something I seek. However, I understand why people come to love theses.
