About Next Trick Brewing
Next Trick Brewing is a family-owned 7-barrel brewery and taproom on US-5 in West Burke, in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. It opened in May 2017 and runs seasonally from May to October.
Allan MacDonald started homebrewing in the late 1980s, and he is a chemical engineer by training. His wife Liz suggested the name Next Trick. The brewery sits next to a popular campground.
The lineup leans toward lagers and ales. Past beers include a Czech-style pilsner, a Vienna lager, a schwarzbier, a witbier, a milk stout, a New England style IPA and a Belgian tripel. There is also a sorghum-based amber ale made without gluten ingredients.
You can taste on site or take beer home in 12 oz 6-packs, 32 oz crowlers or growler fills. Outdoor seating gives you room to enjoy the fresh air.
