About Long Trail Brewing Company
Long Trail Brewing Company is a brewery and riverside pub in Bridgewater, Vermont. The first batch of Long Trail Ale rolled off the line in 1989. The brewery began in the basement of the Old Woolen Mill and now sits on the banks of the Ottauquechee River.
The pub was inspired by the Hofbräu House in Munich, Germany. It is a German-inspired brewery with seasonal American food. The menu rotates with the seasons and uses locally-sourced ingredients.
More than a dozen beers are on tap, from year-round staples to seasonal selections and limited releases. Hard cider, wine and soft drinks are on the list too. The brewery fills clean growlers, branded or not.
Seating runs from a riverside deck and patio to a beer tent. Well-behaved leashed dogs are welcome in the outdoor beer garden in spring, summer and fall. Live music plays on Sunday afternoons and Thursday evenings.
