Foley Brothers Brewery

Great experience. They have $ 5 tasting. I had The Fair Maiden IPA, Citrennial IPA, Pieces of Eight, and a Ginger Wheat. They were all very good. The Fair Maiden is probably the most well known and it was also my favorite. They sell pints as well as growlers and bottles to take away. They also have a winery attached. The business is family run and everyone was super friendly. The atmosphere is amazing so relaxing with nice outdoor seating and beautiful views. They have a dog chilling around it was so friendly and awesome (note other pets are not allowed however)
I have been to many Vermont breweries and this one is my favorite. It is also next to Neshobe Golf Course which is a nice public course if you want to make a day of it and do the two activities together I would highly recommend.

I would rate this brewery more than 5 stars if I could. If you like a good craft beer, do yourself a favor and stop here.

Putting out some amazing beers, they have a $ 5 tasting of the beers on tap. They also do growler fills and have reasonably prices bombers for sale.
Everything from their Fair Maiden DIPA to Maple Brown Ale was fantastic.
Be sure to check out Neshobe River Winery, which is in the same facility. They also serve a $ 5 tasting. It’s actually where the Foley Brothers used to work and owned by the family. Rhonda, their mother and co-​founder, was wonderful to chat and interact with.
There is a beautiful view behind the brewpub as there’s a golf course.
Highly recommended if you’re in the area or willing to take a detour when travelling back down south.

Just off the beaten path is the local Vermont flavor you could be searching for — friendly + knowledgeable staff, quality libations, authentic atmosphere. Seek out this great little spot, the rustic tasting room alone is worth the trip!

Hidden gem of Vermont microbreweries. Much more enjoyable experience than the corporate-​controlled feeling Otter Creek brewery has taken on over last few years. At foley the specialty beers were delicious and the IPAs were as good as the best I have tasted anywhere this year. Tender was quite knowledgeable and loved to converse with the customers I noticed. Wine tasting room was connected and adjacent so I tasted both while there. The location was off the beaten path but worth the effort of getting there.

Probably the best beers in Vermont with almost no recognition. Check it out before everyone else finds out!

I wasn’t aware that Foley Brothers Brewery and Neshobe River Winery are owned by the same family and operate out of the same location. So you can sample some great beer AND wine while you’re here!
Foley Brothers Beer (at least the brews that we tried) are pretty hop-​heavy. IPA is king right now, as it has been for the past couple of years, but I found these beers to be quite drinkable, despite the bitterness. I normally take a sip of an IPA and scrunch up my face like a baby trying something sour for the first time, and hand my cup to my husband, who seeks out the bitterest beers he can find. But something different happened here, and I’m not sure if it’s just my sense of taste changing as I get older, or if these guys are really doing something special. I can taste the hops, but the flavor isn’t overwhelming. There is certainly a floral, bitter flavor, but it doesn’t punch you in the face, like so many other IPA’s.
The man that did our tasting (Didn’t catch his name. Sorry!) was so friendly and welcoming. He gave us our sample and chatted about the brewery and the winery and the differences in production of the beers. He even recommended some places nearby for lunch and encouraged us to come back in the summer when they will be serving food. We’ll definitely be back!

I stopped here with my wife as part of the Vermont Brewery Challenge Passport Program. It was our 9^th stop on the tour and ranked up there as a favorite. It’s a little weird driving up to it because you’re basically driving up to someone’s house. It turns out they run a little B&B, along with a winery and brewery.
In talking to the very pleasant «intern» in the tasting room, we found out that they’ve only been brewing beers for 2 years, as they used to only do wine. They sure know what they’re doing with the beer!
We did their sampler of all 5 current brews (only $ 5) They were all quite good and we left 22oz bottles of their ginger wheat and native ipa (only $ 7/​each). I’ll spare the details of all the beers as I already commented on them on untappd, but on that day they were sampling ginger wheat, native ipa, fair maiden iipa, native brown ale and old hob.

I accidentally found this place and I’m glad I did. When I stumbled upon this hidden gem, they were doing a double IPA release. The beer was killer and I actually took some to go. They had some amazing live fiddle and guitar music going on. The brick oven pizza they were cranking out was inventive and delicious. All in all, a very friendly and inviting atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place without thinking twice.
