2 Best Sights in Central Vermont, Vermont

Though this is a bare bones tasting room— no tours, just glass pours and growlers—we argue that it has great charm, unique Vermont personality, and some of the best beer in the state. There is space to sit outside in the summer months in a nearby field with beautiful views, and wood-fired tacos and nachos on Fridays and Saturdays.

Red Clover Ale in Brandon's tiny town center is run by a crew of brothers-in-law. The family trio focuses on creative ales alongside skilled representations of the classics, like their pitch-perfect pilsners and stouts. Their ongoing IPA series is as special as the birds they're named after, like American Redstart and Common Yellowthroat. Excellent pop-up food vendors are occasionally found on-site—otherwise, a corkboard near the entrance is covered in local takeout menus for perusing to one's liking.
