What you'll see and do
1st Republic Brewing Co
These breweries are sample itineraries only. All schedules are subject to change. The founders of 1st Republic Brewing, Shawn Trout and Mike Drake, both served on active duty and with distinction overseas before returning to Vermont to serve up some of the best Veteran crafted brews. In fact, 1st Republic was voted 2018’s VT Veteran Owned Small Business of the Year. They love everything about beer from brewing it to drinking it to teaching about it and to sharing it. Friends, family, and beer lovers can gather ’round the taproom for fun, games, locally delivered food, and raising a glass to good beer and good times.

Queen City Brewery
Founded in 2014 by long-time friends and brewers Paul Hale, Paul Held, Phil Kaszuba, and Maarten van Ryckevorsel, Queen City Brewery brews a variety of traditional ales and lagers, as well as several unique specialty beers with a focus on giving the customer a unique experience with unexpected notes in their beers that they’ve aged and fermented to produce complex flavors unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. (So yeah, we’re pretty much changing your life by bringing you here. No need to thank us.) On our tour, you’ll see why this foursome rose to frothy success as you sip your way through their suds, including a rare style they brew call ‘Steinbeer’ that’s brewed with hot rocks. The process grants less temperature control to the brewer and imparts a smoky, caramel flavor. Yep, we’ll say it again: life-changing.

Zero Gravity Craft Brewery
Founded in 2004, Zero Gravity Brewing was born inside a restaurant that Flatbread head brewer, Destiny Saxon, and Zero Gravity brewmaster, Paul Sayler, created called American Flatbread Burlington Hearth. For years, they brewed exclusively out of the brewpub location, but as their popularity and demand grew, in 2012, they began distributing Zero Gravity for off-premise sales, and two years later, they had fully maxed out the production at the Flatbread Brewpub. Forced to find more space, they moved operations to a beautiful 30-barrel facility in Burlington’s South End Arts District, and in the spring of 2015, the Pine Street Brewery was born.

Not worth the money
I was really looking forward to my 3 brewery tour having been on tours before at other locations. Our tour guide was knowledgeable however seemed to be more focused on getting in and out quickly. It was the last tour of the night however for the price I was expecting more. Maybe at one of the stops the actual brew master to come and speak with us. At the second brewery we were not given a choice as to the flight of beers they just handed us a flight with little explanation of the beers and to why they were chosen. At the 3rd and final brewery we received one "full" size beer with no one to ask questions to other than our tour guide. It felt rushed, it would have been a better experience if someone from the brewery were to take you around and field questions.

Great beer and great guide
Stopped at three 'local' breweries. I thought I knew a lot about brewing history, but I learned so much more from Nick. Lovely way to spend 4 hours!

A Must-Do Activity in Burlington!
Spent a super fun and informative afternoon with your guide par excellence, Nick. Nick was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a fantastic and fun teacher, full of historic stories pertaining to beer, beer-making, and everything else beer! The three craft breweries were off the beaten track and the beers outstanding. I highly recommend this tour!

A Great Experience!
10/10. Nick, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He truly made the tour. We got to see behind the scenes of two breweries, and ended the evening at one of our personal favorite spots.

Fun tasty excursion!
We visited three different breweries. We really liked each…..they were each quite different in their brewing styles and we appreciated that. We really enjoyed the other couple that was on the tour, so that made it a lot of fun. Our guide was rather lackluster, but I think it’s maybe cause he was recovering from being ill.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Burlington Signature Guided Brewery Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Burlington.
How much does Burlington Signature Guided Brewery Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $105 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Burlington usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Burlington Signature Guided Brewery Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Burlington is not rushed.
Is Burlington Signature Guided Brewery Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 133 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Burlington, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Burlington Signature Guided Brewery Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Burlington Signature Guided Brewery Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Burlington Signature Guided Brewery Tour?
+
Around 47 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Burlington can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Burlington and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Burlington Signature Guided Brewery Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Burlington within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Burlington?
+
Burlington, VT packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Burlington by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Burlington experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Public Daytime Sailing Cruise, Small Group 5-Day Tour Vacation Package in Vermont, Public Sunset Sailing Cruise on Lake Champlain. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Burlington?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Burlington, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Burlington?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
