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.

Canned on 1-15-20. Aroma is slight herbal, and bolder citrus. Flavor of citrus with grass carries over to the finish. Also a mild hay nuance. Medium body, extremely easy to drink. Real nice.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up via trade. Pours unclear gold with a billowing, frothy white head. Simplistic but enjoyable, has some lemon, grapefruit, pine needles, dried out pale malts, soft bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with a little resin, nips of chalky hop dust, more citrus peel. Drinkable stuff.
