Beers
Baltic Porter
Our smooth, medium bodied Baltic Style porter with deep toffee and toasted malt aromas, balanced bitterness and lingering coffee like finish. This was a 14 Barrel brew that was split in half. The next 7 Barrels of this beer will be the Toasted Coconut Porter.
Bombay Grab IPA
A big bitter 77 IBU India Pale Ale, spiced with a blend of fragrant Magnum, Simcoe, and Cascade hops. An original receipe designed by our late Brewmaster, Greg Noonan. "I wanted this to be as close as possible to the export style IPA's created by the British brewers of the mid-nineteenth century."
Burly Irish Ale
2006 Great International Beer Competition Gold Medal Winner
A slightly caramel, medium bodied smooth Irish Red Ale. Rich, creamy and mellow. A VPB favorite for 23 years! Designed to be a session ale at 4.2% ABV. Very lightly hopped to enhance the appeal for the masses. A true crowd pleaser. We have proudly served over a half million pints of this popular ale to our loyal customers!
Dogbite Bitter
A classic, well balanced ESB brewed with traditional East Kent Golding and Fuggles hops. There is a big, "fierce" earthy hop bite complemeted by a well rounded, flavorful and malty body. A very bright beer with a rich, deep amber appearance. A Pub favorite for over 18 years!
Export Lager
A European style Export Lager. A smooth, light bodied lager with sweet malt aromas, soft lingering bitterness and clean finish.
Forbidden Fruit
2006 Great International Beer Festival Silver Medal Winner
A light, refreshing fruit beer fremented with over 500 pounds of real raspberries! At 6.2% ABV it is in the early reaches of the strong biére category! This ruby red, sour mashed and oak aged weiss beer is for everyone. Maybe some oak, cherry and vanilla come through? Try mixing it with our currently offered stout, on tap. It is real, it is right and it works. The freshest framboise on tap in town, no question.
Lake Champlain Chocloates Stout
Our first beer to go through our experimental line 3 times & move its way up to 14 BBL production! A rich, dark, smooth and sweet, full bodied milk stout with Madagascar cocoa nibs from Lake Champlain Chocolates! This is very similar to the Chocolate Doctor Milk Stout that earned a Silver Medal at the World Beer Championships in Chicago in January of 2012. The Silver Medal winner was our second attempt at dialing in our recipe for this version! We thank our good friends at Lake Champlain Chocolates for their local partnership on this project. This beer is delicious and contains lactose!
OSHAnnanigans Brown Ale
An English-Style Brown ale. Light-medium bodied with a malty dry finish. Hopped with fuggles. This beer was named when a disgruntled employee reported us to OSHA. They were scheduled to inspect us on the brew day & never showed... Oh! The Shenanigans!
Sorachi Session Ale
A refreshing, deep golden, light bodied session ale. Brewed with British & French malts & loaded with lemony Sorachi hop flavor. The Sorachi hop was originally developed for Sapparo Breweries in Japan.
Tulach Leis
A Flemish Style Vermont Sour Red Ale fermented with brettanomyces yeast providing slight tartness with barnyard aromas and flavors. This recipe was the result of the collaborative efforts of VPB brewers both past and present in honor of their mentor and Master Brewer, Greg Noonan. The name (Toolah - Leez) comes from county Cork in Ireland where the Noonan clan originated. 6.1% ABV. Hits the style.
Raise one to Greg...
