About
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.

Stone's Public House draught, 9/3/22. Moderately hazy, pale/muted brass. Small, white head, moderate retention. Rustic grain and deep spice though not overly expressive hops. Clean, light honey and baked bread. Low yeast. Soft, malty, honey and bread dough. Low hop character, just some sprucey spice and moderate bitterness. Not very exciting, that's for sure, but it's clean and well-made.

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!
