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 a pulpy orange with some sticky, white head. Nose has orange, canteloupe, vanilla, mango. Some sweet gelato lurking. Flavor is nicer, bitter which is good because many within the style hang on sweet, orange, tangerine, melon, vanilla, grapefruit, some tea. Finishes basically full bodied and bitter.

Pours a slightly hazy, golden yellow, with minimal head. Aromas of citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is very juicy tropical fruit, with some citrus accents and a touch of pine/spruce hoppiness to the finish. Very tasty. Very good.

16 ounce can. Murky tan pour. Frothy beige head. Citrus hop nose. Tangy citrus flavor upfront. Notes of sour orange and grapefruit. Middle brings lemon and lime. Finish is more dank citrus and pine. Great lupilin leaps. Dry bitter finish.
