Vermont's craft beer story
Vermont's craft beer reputation is anchored by an unusual concentration of world-class brewers in extremely rural areas. Heady Topper from Stowe, Sip of Sunshine from Lawson's, and Hill Farmstead's entire catalog — all from a state with no major metro area. The 'Vermont haze' became a globally recognized style.
