Our experience brewing traditional ales & lagers has helped us win awards in styles classic and creative. With beautiful views of slate roofed barns and refurbished campus-like brick buildings, Old Bust Head is part of a unique farm called ‘Vint Hill’ that for 50 years operated as a top secret military listening post. Familiar faces behind the bar share their love of craft in our 1950’s post & beam taproom while covered outdoor seating between our taproom and production area provides a welcoming environment for leashed dogs and all-weather access to a rotating variety of food trucks.

Draft pour at Old Bust Head Brewing. Poured a clear, slightly hazy kind of light yellow color with just a tiny white head. Aroma and flavor was juicy, like really nice tropical fruit, citrus. Pleasant. Easy to drink, smooth. Mild herbal bitterness, with a little creamy character.
