Description
Since 1992, McNeill’s brewery has consistently offered some of the Northeast’s finest beers. Brewmaster Ray McNeill has won accolades far and wide, including thirteen national and international awards.

Critics and food writers alike have praised McNeill’s products, including the Albany Times Union, “McNeill may be the best brewer in America,” or All About Beer Magazine, “The jewel in the crown of Vermont’s many fine beers.”

In 2008 McNeill opened the long rumored packaging facility just north of the venerable brewpub.

Today, McNeill’s packages ten different beers plus seasonals.

The brewery, closed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, burnt down and was demolished in 2022.

Summer IPA from McNeill's Brewery

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Cask, GBBF. Orange color, cloudy. I can hardly notice the aroma, but the taste is big. Too big, in fact. Loads of hops and blackcurrant. Harsh and oily. Some oak and licorice. Medium to full bodied, harsh and heavy for an ale.
