Caretaker of Vermont Craft

Take a Hike!®

Inspired by the 273-mile hiking trail that traverses through the Green Mountains, Long Trail Brewing Company has been a caretaker of Vermont craft since 1989. Moved and motivated by the local culture and surroundings, we work hard to create beers worthy of our Vermont roots. From small batch recipes developed in our farmhouse-turned-pilot-brewery to wider ranging staples like our flagship Long Trail Ale and freshly formulated Trail Hopper IPA, our brewers are committed to crafting a trail-worthy family of beers.

Draft at the VT location. Dark brown pour and some head. Nose is nutty, and chocolate and earthy. Tastes the same. Some boozy warming.

Nice and easygoing IPA. Has some pleasant piney hops, supportive malt backbone, citrus rind, tangerine, melon, nips of mango. Sun-kissed malts. Yeah, this is well balanced throwback gear. Great stuff.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Tangerine and passion fruit aromas. Medium bodied with sweet tangerine and lime upfront turning to caramel before the lasting pith finish.

Bottle. Clear very deep amber to mahogany. Caramel, burnt malts, earthy, plums, cherries, soft pecans, bitter weedy hops. Quite sweet but also solid bitter. Crisp full body with quite some carbonation. Really not bad.

Pour is a cloudy blonde with a ginormus white head. Aroma is yep blackberries. Flavor is blackberries with a huge tartness I was not expecting. Finish is clean and leaves some of the blackberry on the tongue. Thin all around but the blackberries were there and did not seem artificial.
