Vermont Brewers Festival

Burlington’s illustrious Vermont Brewers Festival returns to Waterfront Park for its 32nd year spotlighting premier beers and the people who make them. Craft connoisseurs and ferment fledglings looking to expand their palates select samples from more than 200 offerings from 36 breweries, including beloved local outfits such as Burlington Beer and 14th Star Brewing. For an extra fee, folks can enter the information-packed Fermentation Tent to learn about bubbly goodies and taste the region’s finest anaerobic offerings. To soak up all that wort: Fab food vendors include Ahli Baba’s Kabob Shop, El Gato Cantina and ice cream maker Sisters of Anarchy. Cheers to that!
