Established in 1995
After a short stint as a variety store and youth hostel, the old cider mill became The Shed Restaurant in 1965. Spirited conversation returned in the form of tall tales of downhill glory as skiers filled the Shed and set the roots for the après ski culture in Stowe. Steeped in history and rooted in Vermont skiing lore, the Shed became THE spot for locals and tourists alike.
On a frigid evening in 1994, a fire destroyed the restaurant. Rising from the ashes, the restaurant reopened the following year with the addition of a seven-barrel brewery that focused on English-style, handcrafted ales. The Shed Mountain Ale soon became as steeped in Stowe folklore as the ski area up the road.
One of the first brewpubs in Vermont, the Shed's tradition of brewing fine ales remained part of Stowe's culture until 2011 when production shifted to Middlebury. Now, for the first time in our storied history, people outside of Vermont are able to enjoy Shed at their neighborhood bars and restaurants or pick up a six-pack from their local store. The legacy of the original Shed lives on in every batch of Mountain Ale, IPA and the spirited conversation that erupts over a shared pint.

0.473l can. Aroma of caramel, dried fruit and herbs. Pours clear amber brown color with large soapy tan-like head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with sweet and rich toasted malty, caramel and dried fruit, following is herbal, slightly medicinal and ashy, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is pretty bitter. Full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Rich, rugged and raw…

GBBF Day 1. Cask. A light haze on this amber beer, small cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, touch of caramel. Ripe fruits and a nibbly hop spice. Some pine and esters on the back end. Not bad.
