Brewing Beer and making wine are New England traditions and here in Vermont the early settlers typically stored several barrels of cider or brandy in their cellars ... perhaps to help take the chill off of the long, cold Northern New England winters.

By 1810, Vermont had 125 distillers producing more than 173,000 gallons of apple brandy annually. By the late 1800's temperance movements, changes in liquor traffic, and Prohibition led to the virtual elimination of Vermont's commercial beer and wine industries.

Today Vermont is home more than 30 brew pubs (micro-breweries) and wineries. The number of breweries and wine makers is on the rise. Many of these operations offer free samples and tours. It's an interesting way to explore Vermont, visit all of Vermont's Brew Pubs and Wineries during your next vacation.
