Right by the airport so very convenient for travelers in and out of Burlington. Beer is awesome and the pizza offered in the taproom rivals any well-known pizza place. Super kid-friendly with games, etc. Their merch is also top shelf, I bought a zip up hoodie and it has since become my favorite hoodie, it's so soft and comfortable! Highly recommend!

WW did a very nice job using the space to provide sufficient room for guests and the patio area was very nice. Onto the beers. I had a lager, festbier, ipa, and the doppelbock. The ipa was probably the weakest of the bunch. I really enjoyed the doppelbock and the light lager. All styles were well executed. Nothing mind blowing but very good approachable beers.

As a long-time customer of Four Quarters, I've seen them change over time, mostly for the better…read more Now it seems like they're in downtrend. Did ownership change over? It was a long line when we got there. Ordered drinks and food at the same time. After about 45 minutes still without our burger and salad. My wife asked for an update. They said there were some "kinks" in the kitchen and it was going to be about another half hour. A server came by to see if we wanted to order any drinks while we waited and was going to charge us until my wife questioned that. After checking with her manager, our server was able to get us complimentary non-alcoholic drinks. The "kinks in the kitchen" were really understaffing due to a lack of preparation for a busy weekend. About 45 minutes later, we got our food and asked for boxes to bring it home. I had ordered a Kale and beet salad with fried chicken for $19. This couldn't have been much more than 2 cups of salad. Once I opened it at home at around 9:00 p.m. and saw the three pieces of fried chicken remnants, I couldn't believe that this is what I waited 2 hours to eat. At no point was there any attempt at service recovery; No manager came by to update. It was an incredibly poor performance for this Winooski staple. It felt like they were treating everyone different as a one-time tourist customer, forgetting that there were possibly people there that are repeat customers. I felt bad for our server because she should not have been bearing the brunt of this on her own. She had no support from any manager. I'll stick to the beer, but won't bother with attempting food again.

One of the reasons I tend to stop in here is because of their excellent food, however the quality of the food has taken a dive lately due to a change with their chef. The famous and delicious fried chicken sandwich is no longer made with fried chicken but is now grilled. Huh!! I'll still go back for the beers but not for the food, at least not until the kitchen improves sgnificantly.

I love, love, love Ginger Beer, and I'm a bartender, so I was super excited to check this place…read moreout. Popped by with some friends last week. Three of us got flights, and we tried the four ginger beer varieties they had available. While I love to support any small business, they need to reformulate their ginger beers ASAP. Only one out of the four ginger beers was palatable. Their first ginger beer, True 1/10, tasted like murky water. Like water with an aftertaste. The only ginger beer that was drinkable, Volcano Juice (5/10), wasn't anything I'd go out of my way to buy. The brewery logo is cute, the flights on whale cutting boards are cute, but the ginger beers need a lot of work. Hopefully they reformulate before they start distributing. Would love to see them succeed.

Over the Fourth of July weekend, a friend and I stopped by Three Needs around 1:00 a.m. We ordered…read moredrinks and planned to grab some pizza before heading home. As we were leaving, my friend told me that the bartender had called him a "Nazi" and a "racist" because of the shirt he was wearing. It was simply a black shirt that said "Happy 250 Years" with an American flag behind the text. I turned around to ask why she felt that way. Before I could even finish speaking, she immediately became confrontational. I asked how his shirt made him a racist or a Nazi, especially considering he's friends with me, a Hispanic male. Instead of having a conversation, she told me to leave, took the beer that I had already paid for, and refused to let me finish it. She then called over a bouncer and, from my perspective, falsely told him that I had said, "You don't have any colored friends." I never made that statement and immediately told the bouncer it wasn't true. The one positive part of the experience was the bouncer. He remained calm, listened to both sides, and professionally de-escalated the situation. I handed him my beer and left peacefully. It's unfortunate because the rest of our Fourth of July was great, and this was a disappointing way to end the night. I used to enjoy going to Three Needs, but after being treated this way and seeing my friend labeled with such serious accusations over a T-shirt, I won't be returning. I hope management takes the time to look into what happened that night, because no customer should be treated this way for simply asking a question or wearing a shirt celebrating the Fourth of July. After we left and were standing outside, several other customers came over to us and apologized for what had happened. They also told us that, in their experience, this bartender has a reputation for treating customers this way. Whether that's accurate is for management to determine, but based on my own experience that night, I was extremely disappointed.

City tours called us and warned us of the problem and delay which was fine, as we were being picked up at our hotel. They resolved the problem quickly and our guide was there and ready to go within 15 minutes of the originally scheduled time. Our guide Lauren was fantastic! She handled the mishap with grace and without skipping a beat. City tours had to have Ubers take us from brewery to brewery which worked out perfectly fine in the end. On to the tour itself, we were a smaller group, which I loved! We stopped at 4 locations and we sampled A LOT of beer. (I don't understand the reviews saying you barely get 3 drinks because by the end of it my husband and I could barely drink the last beers) We got behind the scenes tours at 2 of the breweries. Goodwater was my personal favorite. Lauren gave us a phenomenal history lesson along the way, which I fully nerded out to. All in all, it was a really fun experience that both, my husband and I, would recommend trying!
