Description
We are a brewery in Tunbridge, Vt. We focus on hop forward, stout, and farmhouse ales. We brew on a 5 bbl system and do big contracted batches at Von Trapp.
We operate a small brewery in the hills of Tunbridge, Vermont with a tasting room in South Royalton. The Tasting Room for Upper Pass Beer Company is located on the green inside First Branch Coffee Shop.
Closed the South Royalton taproom during the Covid-19 Pandemic. After Simple Roots' closure at the end of 2025, moved in to their space and are aiming to re-open the taproom there by February, as well as purchasing an adjacent building to expand operations.

16oz can pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice sweet tropical fruit hops some melons. Taste is more of the nice sweet citrus tropical notes and a melon touch.

Can from the Packie Inky black with a frothy tan head that persists. Creamed coffee with hints of chocolate and caramel and a solid earthy hop to counter. Really nice brew!

Thanks Chris, aroma is pineapple, candied citrus, aromatic hops. Flavor follows aroma with a nice soft mouthfeel and a balanced finish.

16 oz. can. Aroma is similar to pineapple and coconut. Flavor is mostly the same with a mild herb and the finish. Very mild bitterness. This is a nice brew!

Aroma is mostly citrus with a hint of tropical fruit. Flavor has moderate citrus with a mild herb finish. Tropical fruit would be a stretch but I could see pineapple I guess. Reasonable brew!

Draught at Tip Tap Room, 9/21/21.
A clear, honey-to-bronze-golden with a small, moderately-well-retained, white head atop.
Nose is a bit sourish/resinous hop, guess this isn't an NEIPA. I usually look up what the beer is before trying it, but didn't in this case and wish I had. Tacky crystal malt, pine, resin and hard, bare citrus with no comforting honey-like malts.
Resinous and with an off-putting, bare texture from the crystal malt. Lemon rind, pine, heavy sourdough bread...I don't understand what people enjoy in these types of beers or why you'd want to make a throwback to them.

Can from my brother: pours pale gold with white head. Aroma is citrusy (lemony I suppose), yeasty, peppery. Taste is mostly dry, a but sweet, not bitter, spicy. Solid.

4 oz. draft sample. Aroma is citrus and floral notes. The citrus is here in flavor but what sticks out is the floral finish. Light bitterness to let you remember this is a IPA. Well crafted.

Pours a hazy amber from a can. Pine and thick tropical fruit purée aroma. Similar notes in the mouth. Bitter. Okay beer.
