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.

On tap at Mcgillicuddy’s, Williston, VT.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking glossy / hazy burnt orange color. Light speckled lacing forms after the head dissipated.
The smell had a beautiful amount of juicy orange bitterness bursting into sharp citrus hops. Subtle tropical sweetness underneath.
The taste was a balanced sweet to bitter blend of citrus hops to malts. Light bitter citrus rind aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing the harshness to be the bitterness hitting the tongue.
Overall, this was a really good IPA that I would come back to.

Heather _B with this bottle share! Very nice aroma: good level of roast with English malt, burnt sugar and molasses. The body is on the fuller side with a nice dry roasted finish. The lactose adds some sweetness to balance the roast. This is a very enjoyable stout.
