Fiddlehead Brewing Company
Microbrewery
in Shelburne,
Vermont,
United States 🇺🇸
Associated Venue: Fiddlehead Brewing Company
Established in 2011
When we first opened in 2011, we did so with a completely manual 15 barrel system and just 30 barrels of capacity. Within the first month Fiddlehead IPA, the flagship ale, was on tap with at over 50 bars and restaurants in Vermont.
With the immediate success, we quickly outgrew the 3,000 sq foot space that was split between retail and production. After the last fermenter was added in 2015, we knew we needed a bigger boat.
In January of 2017, our brand new 10,000 sq foot brewery opened for production just behind the tasting room. The added space meant room for more fermenters as well as some much needed upgrades like a laboratory, grain silo, office space, and our own canning line. This expansion has allowed us to increase distribution of kegs and cans within our home state, branch into New York and Massachusetts, and renovate our tasting room (coming soon!).
While we do not currently offer tours of our production facility, our knowledgeable tasting room staff is always happy to chat about our beers and the brewing process. Our beer can be found on draft or in cans at over 650 Vermont establishments as well as an increasing number of locations around Massachusetts and New York State.
The tasting room remains at the original Shelburne Rd. location, as do countless memories of where it all began.

Can at home for J and B Craft Drinks, Amsterdam, 20th October 23. Pours a fairly clear golden. Aroma is resin, pine, citrus. Taste is bitter, pine resin and pith. It’s a good DIPA, but lacks a huge wow factor

5 oz. Draft. Aroma and flavor is typical for the style. Orange, clove upfront with a mild backbone of wheat. Notes of cracker malt and ends of mild black pepper and coriander. As this should be.

Pint at Bukowskis, hazy lemon yellow, sudsy white head. Nice nose, herbal and punchy, grassy, citrus zest, some soap. Flavor is simple grist, a little corn and then punchy grass and soap. Medium bodied, dry and bitter. Super easy to drink.

Pours a nice hazy pale yellow from a can. Grapes, lemon, light peach syrup aroma and flavor, pleasantly dry. Very good beer.

Pretty excited when my free drink ticket was allowed to be used for a DIPA. My feet were killing me after running the half marathon and nothing like some high abv to dull my senses. Nose is rich tropical fruits. Tatses of mango, pineapple, floral, grass and malty. Abv is present and biting.
