This is hands down my favorite place in Vermont. I would make the 3 1/2 hour drive JUST to come here. Beer is fantastic. I haven't had a beer that I didn't like! They also have cask offerings as well....

It would fair - if not lazy - to simply say "yeah, what they all said" in regards to The Alchemist. Both the beer and the food are great, something that is all too rare in the Brewpub world. And it...

Donovan's Red & fries worth the drive. Only complaint is too far from Burlington for another drink!

Oh my the beer here was glorious! I had the Donovan's Red and The Crusher. Sugar Bear had the Pappy's Porter and The Mortal Sin. We were both in love! This is another locavore's dream restaurant. They...

The food is amazing here -- something for every palate. The microbrews are great and I have never had anything but wonderful service here (even on incredibly busy, wait in line for over an hour days)....

I am still dreaming of the Sterk Wit with longing. New England is not short on wheat beers, but this was probably one of the best I've ever tasted. The curacao orange and corriander were really...

Quick caveat... I only drank beer here!!! But the experience was good enough to write a review. The place itself is cute and funky (funky lighting & colors, local artwork), the service is fast & good...

Good food and great beer. I stopped in here on a recent trip to visit the family and I believe I stumbled upon the best microbrewery in Vermont. It's quite busy on a Friday or Saturday night. Didn't...

After reading some stellar reviews on BeerAdvocate.com and "The Good Beer Guide to New England" I planned a stop here whilst passing through the area.The Alchemist has some fine beers and there was a...

It has the regular pub atmosphere where you can eat at the bar, play some pool, sit in a booth...But they never seem to have a nut brown beer, or brown ale of some sort, or at least each time I've...

If I could magically transport any one restaurant home to Oakland, without hesitation it would be the Alchemist. I'd put it right across the street from my apartment. Pretty much every aspect of the...

While the beer is good, they had too many IPAs on the menu when I went the last time. They seem to change them up quite a bit though, so that's as much complaining as I'm going to do. The food is...

In total agreement with Michael...the Alchemist is rad. The home-made fries with garlic mayo & the cheese plate both get a major thumbs up. DELICIOUS!! And I could eat the red beans & rice with tofu...

Bars that offer their own beer are a dime-a-dozen in Vermont, but when I had a season pass to Sugarbush ski resort, this was a necessary stopping point on the trip back to Burlington. Not only are the...

We had read several reviews about this great pub--how it was literally the best brew we could snag in all of Vermont. So we went out of our way to find this little place and I'm REALLY glad we did....
