Five Reasons to Do a Von Trapp Brewery Tasting
Von Trapp Brewery is up in Stowe, Vermont. That's northern Vermont, closer to Montreal than to any non-Vermont American city you've probably heard of. (Nope. Montreal is closer than Bangor, MN. We checked.) (They're right across the way from the legendary Alchemist Brewery.) That far up there, we have to show them that we care about them.
Von Trapp Brewery specializes in lagers. That's right, lagers. They take longer to make. They're harder to make well (so they say). Von Trapp does them and only them. That means you get the full range of what lagers can provide in one brewery. Well we've just got to check that out.
In 2018, Von Trapp Brewery turned the roofs of their complex into a solar energy farm, pumping energy back into the Vermont grid. We want to support a company like that.
The Von Trapp family has legit European lager roots, what with the founder having escaped Nazified Austria with his siblings, his father, and their former housekeeper, turned stepmother. (Yes! They're that Von Trapp family!)
We've been cautiously adding these beers to our shelves, tasting them as they've come in, and they're really good!
