Otter Creek makes some tasty offerings. We were able to sample a variety of beer, enjoy a great lunch (VT cheese platter, chili, and cheddar beer soup), and our server was very friendly and extremely knowledgable about each brew. I was able to try the special Otter Creek 20th Anniversary brew and enjoyed it so much I purchased a 4pk!... More

The brew pub set-up is still fairly new, so hopefully they will add more in the way of amience as they settle in. Food was good, not a lot of choices. We had the chilli, which was quite delicious. Sampled 6 beers. All fine, could use a better IPA - or so says the IPA lover/ home brewer in this... More

Otter Creek Brewing has been putting out good beers for years but in the last year they've stepped it up and are regularly producing some GREAT beers. Try the Wolaver's IPA--I'd say it's right up there with Dogfish Head. They are also producing interesting seasonals--including an especially Cafe Alta Gracia Coffee Porter. Rich, smooth, and non-astringent. And it happens to... More

Stopped by the brewery today and had a great experience. Started with the sampler. Hard to narrow the highlights as all the beer was excellent. Becky and Sarah behind the bar were awesome. Try the meat and cheese sampler. Worth your time to stop by and drink fresh local beer. More

Tasty beer - some organic - cool little tasting room. $6ish of for a 6/4oz flight. Definitely worth a stop! View the brewery through the glass windows in the tasting room. Small menu. More

Great beers, really delicious food and friendly service. We visited here twice during our trip. Once for lunch and some beer and the second time to pick up a few cases to take home to friends. The sampler is a really good deal. I highly recommend the Copper Ale but there's something for everyone! More

We weren't able to get a tour, but we did sample the beers they had on tap. I'm not sure about the other reviews, but we were charged for our samples. I didn't mind paying, though, since both Otter Creek and Wolaver's beer is excellent. We tasted a half dozen or so beers before purchasing a case and a half... More

Nice side trip when in the Middlebury/Vergennes Vermont area. You go into their brewery watch them bottle and best of all sample some great beer. More

We were recently on a road trip through the northeastern US, and my husband and I love to try craft beer, so we stopped by Otter Creek. Their beers were VERY VERY good! They also make Wolaver's brand of certified organic beers. They gave us free samples of just about all of their offerings (on tap and bottle) and there... More
