Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit Vermont's newest brewery at the Trapp Family Lodge which just celebrated its grand opening this past weekend. These photos highlight our trip to one of Vermont's historical places which has a European connection.
First, we got a tour of the brewery from the brew master, Allen Van Anda, who was kind enough to show us each part of the brewing process at the Trapp Family Lodge. We were impressed because it's just him doing all the brewing!
Though I would highly recommend a trip to Stowe to get the full experience, you can try the new Lager on tap at other venues in Vermont. The Trapp Lager is currently being distributed to 26 Vermont bars and restaurants according to the Burlington Free Press blog post, including The Daily Planet and American Flatbread in Burlington according to Allen.
You can enjoy the view of the Vermont mountains with your brew - just $5 per .5 liter.
Pictured here is their Vienna Lager which tastes "Just like a classic beer in Vienna" according to a student who studied abroad in Vienna last spring. Their Dunkle, which is a German-style dark beer is also pictured and tasted just as delicious. We couldn't decide which one we liked better!

Be sure to check out the brewery at the Trapp Family Lodge and enjoy a local brew which has the authentic taste of a Vienna Lager!
Special thanks to Allen for giving us a great tour, even after a VERY busy opening weekend.
Prost!
