Loved this place! It was on our list of places to hit in Burlington and I'm so happy we made it on this trip! The service was super friendly and fast and I could easily spend hours here exploring their menu. Lovers Rock was our favorite and we picked up a few cans to bring home- it's the perfect coffee chocolate stout! We also tried harvest and milquetoast and I liked them both also! I'll definitely come back here next time we're in town.

Loved the vibe of this place! Unfortunately it was so dark out by the time we got there so couldn't see the area around the brewery, but the inside was inviting and lively. Loved the live music and the live edge bar with neon lighting!

Fantastic local brewery. Their double IPAs in particular were superb. Staff are very nice and checked on us appropriately. They have nice merchandise (t-shirts, hats, glasses) and solid beers to go home as well.

Outstanding brewery located nearby Lake Champlain. They have a front patio, plenty of indoor space, and a sizable backyard. We walked by in the late morning they already had some folks here. You know you're onto something good when a brewery already has customers in the morning! Tap list and quality reminds me a lot of Grimm Artisanal Ales in NYC. Grimm is one of my favorite breweries, so I had soft spot for Foam given the similarity. I had the All We Have is Now. It was a wild ale with strong tart and slightly sweet berry flavors. A super fun and flavorful beer. The whole menu was intriguing. I liked how they included a few tasting notes too. Service was quick and helpful.

Foam Brewers is a craft brewery that opened in Burlington, Vermont in April 2016. It was founded by business partners Todd Haire, Sam Keane, Bobby Grim, Jon Farmer and Dani Casey. No strangers to the beer industry, the partners are all industry veterans who collectively worked at Switchback Brewing and Magic Hat Brewing. Brewmaster Haire got his start working as a brewer at Magic Hat in 1998 (when Vermont had only four craft breweries). Casey later worked here as well, but Haire would leave the brewery in 2011 to be the head brewer at Switchback. Within a few years, Keane, Grim, Farmer, and Casey would all come to work there as well. Eventually they began talking about opening their own brewery and all of the partners left Switchback in late 2015 to do just that. They set up shop inside a circa 1853 door factory building and were open by spring 2016. The popularity of Foam Brewers' beer grew at an alarming rate purely by word of mouth. Haire later started a sister brewery project with his friend Bill Mares called House of Fermentology. This operation is a blendery that focuses on mixed fermentation and wild ales. Located in nearby Charlotte, the facility is not open to the public but bottles can be purchased at FB's taproom. In 2020, the FB partners opened an adjoining restaurant called Deep City as well as a small natural wine operation called Natural Hack. I recently visited Foam Brewers for the first time while I was on a Vermont craft beer road trip. Not only had I never been there but I had also never tasted their beer. I had heard nothing but excellent things about them for the past few years. I was impressed that a newer brewery had done so well in a state that already has an impressive roster of breweries. I really liked the location which had a nice view of Lake Champlain. I also liked the interior design of the taproom which featured a really cool circular bar. The draught list had no shortage of my favorite beer style: hazy unfiltered IPAs! During my visit, I enjoyed short pours of "Digital vs. Analog" (Double IPA), "Bound for the Floor" (Triple New England IPA), "Experimental Jet Set" (Double New England IPA), and "Second Hand Coffins" (Triple IPA). Every single beer that I tried knocked my socks off! You bet I purchased some beer-to-go before leaving! I truly hope that this isn't my last visit!

I am so happy I discovered Foam Brewers while visiting Burlington! This little spot is tucked away near Lake Champlain. The brewery stays pretty busy especially on the weekends. I waited in line for maybe a minute or two and was quickly served. I had the rosé cider and that was so good and quite refreshing given how hot it was. The place isn't too big, but offers indoor and outdoor seating options and a parking lot. I sat outside in the shade but when I came back the next day, I sat inside. They also serve food (small bites) but I didn't try any. I had a great experience and talked to a few locals and visitors while there. A definite spot to visit if you're in beautiful Burlington!

I spent a week in Burlington, Vermont for a work conference and was lucky enough to visit some craft breweries while there. The very first of all was probably one of the best, Foam Brewers. Foam Brewers is a well-regarded craft brewery located in Burlington, Vermont. Founded in 2016 by an experienced team with diverse backgrounds in brewing, culinary arts, and hospitality, the brewery quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality, innovative beers. Their IPAs are top notch, and you can't beat the location right on Lake Champlain. I tried a few different beers throughout my week in the city. Second Hand Coffins: A Triple IPA they brewed in collaboration with Widowmaker. Heavy oats used in the malt bill to give a nice chewy mouthfeel. I get notes of Dole Whip, mango, and fruit jerky. Red Panda: A Red Flanders Inspired Sour beer that is so good I had to order it twice. Served in a beautiful Teku glass that allowed the ruby red beer to shine. Bright acidity with a funky cherry flavor on the backend with some slight sugar notes. Melted Rope: A Hazy Double IPA that is as true of a hazy IPA as you can get. Huge notes of tropical fruit like passionfruit and guava. Some minor notes of dank resin as well. ____________-

Got some beers from yet another brewery in Burlington. It has a pretty cool location next to the lake. Foam Brewers is one of the hipper looking places around. Has quite a few beers to get. The food is good stuff. Best thing other than the beers is the location to be honest. It's real close to the lake, making it a good stop after walking along it. The outside of this place looks kind of nondescript, but on the inside there's plenty of room though. Beers are the main things to get. Pretty good variety. It's about $6 a pint. The best one of these we had was the Feel It Still. Could be the first time trying a rice lager. This was a pretty light one, and has an herbal and lemony taste. As for the food, pretty okay. It's $9 for the Black Bean Salsa. This is seasoned with cilantro, lime, onions, roasted garlic, and tomatoes. For sure it's a must stop for anyone wanting local beers. It's away from the crowds downtown, but it still gets plenty to come though. There's a lot of beers to choose from, and even the food is good if wanting some things to snack on or whatever.

Tasty beer! Overall, the ambiance was really cute. I like that you can order half pours. I liked the bar tops. Good view of the waterfront. They lost one star for the music. I'm not sure if the band was warming up, but they were kinda all over the place.
