Northshire Brewery is located in Bennington. Vermont. We had traveled there for the 6th Annual Vermont Life Wine and Harvest Festival at Mount Snow in Dover, Vermont. 
It is a small operation, a husband-wife team with a part time sales person. They started in 2010, making beer for local bars and restaurants to serve. They are now available at a few retail establishments as well as a few local Hannaford. They now sell bottles of their beer as well.
We had a quick visit, where we were able to try three of their beers. Their tastings were $5 for the glass and a taste of whatever they currently have on tap.
Our tasting:
Northshire Hefeweizen: somewhat sweet, flavors of clove and citrus
Battenkill Ale: A little brown in color but not dark in taste, with subtle hints of coffee. This beer was their 1st! 5.7% ABV
Sicilian Pale Ale: made with blood oranges. I am not usually a Pale Ale person, but this was very good! Nice flavor! Also great when we had it from the bottle later.
We bought a Sicilian Pale Ale and a Chocolate Stout to bring home. We had to buy the Chocolate Stout- they only had it in bottles so we weren’t able to try it, but we had seen it on their website and a sign in the brewery.
It was a good tasting, and I hope they continue being successful so we can eventually find them at our local stores!
After our tasting, we went to the Madison Brewing Co for lunch. Look here to see more about our visit to Madison Brewing Co!
Breweries, Wineries and the fun in between!
