You’re downright spoiled for choices in terms of locally produced craft brews when calling our historic hillside inn your home away from home just outside Stowe, Vermont.

A whole bevy of breweries await your appreciation within a short drive, including such local Stowe operations as The Alchemist Brewery (100 Cottage Club Rd, Stowe, VT), von Trapp Brewing (1333 Luce Hill Rd, Stowe, VT), and Idletyme Brewing Co. (1859 Mountain Road, Stowe, VT).

And, of course, don’t forget about craft ciderhouses as well, including Stowe Cider (17 Town Ferry Ln, Stowe, VT) and Cold Hollow Cider Mill (3600 Waterbury-Stowe Rd, Waterbury Center, VT).
