Incredible spot. SUPER beers. If you are on untappd these ratings speak for themselves. Over 5 beers above a 4.2 is legit insane. The vibe and ambience is also great! Really nice staff and lots of indoor and outdoor seating with LIVE music. Not tons of food for a full meal but the charcuterie boards looked fantastic too. Bring a board game and stay for a few hours read more

Fun outdoor patio space and really cool merchandise selection. I was hoping for there to be non-alcoholic beer selections available but still enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff was friendly. read more

Great location, wonderful ambiance and excellent beers! They had food options if you're hungry. Sign says service dogs only are allowed. Saw kids hanging out too. Place was happening with a nice happy crowd. Service could use a little tightening up, but they were nice. read more

Disappointed with their service/rules. We never actually ate/drank there since we showed up at 3pm on a random Wednesday and were told they didn't have any availability to seat our party of 5, both inside or outside. There were multiple tables visibly available but we were told they didn't have enough servers so they couldn't seat us. The two servers both told us that we needed to make a reservation. I had logged on to their Resy reservation site an hour before we arrived and saw they had a ton of availability so I opted not to make a reservation thinking we didn't need one! Well, I was wrong! So make a reservation if you're looking to go! read more

Foam Brewers - Breweries Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Came here on a Friday afternoon for a respite from the rain. Sprawling location with indoor/outdoor seating, a large parking lot, and an easy walk to the waterfront nearby. Some food is available here, but decided to just stick with drinks. Chose the "Vapors of Morphine" IPA ($8) - a strong imperial with a hazy pour and orange peel flavor. Easy to sip on as we got a seat at one of the ledge stools. To the side they have some merchandise for sale and the place is seemingly pup friendly. Didn't stay long but it was a nice space to relax for a bit. Good for groups who want to have some beer and snacks. read more

Foam Brewers - Ledge seating - Breweries Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

This brewery was phenomenal. They had safe Covid checks at the front door. You needed to make reservations in advance. Once seated, we were asked to order: 1.) Vegan Poutine (4 stars) - the mushrooms were the star of the show 2.) Farmer's salad (4 stars) - the veggies were crisp and fresh and a nice contrast to the fried appetizer we ordered :) 3.) We ordered cider and a few stouts. All their drinks were creative, delicious and flavorful. The pours were generous too!! I would 100% come back here again. The ambiance was great and the staff were super helpful and friendly. It almost felt like were in normal times once again. read more

The beer was great, only surpassed by the staff's service and attention, they were fantastic!

Just got a couple beers but good service, nice people & dog friendly for my dogs. Servers came out to give them water and make sure we were okay read more

Specializes in Vermont style IPAs and sours. All of which were worthy of high ratings (which I gave on Untappd). Was referred to my by a national group of beer nerds as a sleeper "best of" among the triad of Alchemist, Lawsons and Hill Farmstead. Food is great. Fries especially!!! Hint: so close to the bike trail. Just roll up from the Causeway south and have some of the best beer in New England. read more

This place is awesome they have the best cookies and staff. They also have awesome drinks. There food is delicious. I couldn't try the beer because I am only 10 years old but if I could, I'm sure it would be delicious. The food is very well priced. They bring your food to your table very quickly. if you are in Burlington Vermont, I would suggest coming here because it is a great place! read more

Amazing brewery! Right close to the Burlington River, great atmosphere and live music. Cheeseboard was delicious. Beer selection is small but they have great beers, the brewery is beautiful itself and has a nice patio outside. I definitely enjoyed drinking beer and snacking on cheeseboard watching the sunset. read more

My husband and I visited Foam Brewers last Wednesday (10/14) and really enjoyed it. Our visit coincided with the Champlain Valley Hops (CVH) release so we tried the Revue Crystal (still hoppy) and the Nugget (more fruity/smoother). We also tried the Safe Minds Lager and Lake Hopper Cider which was a nice change for ciders because it wasn't as sweet as a typical cider. There was plenty of parking, and we were able to catch sunset off the lake. Definitely recommend this place. COVID - Be sure to make a reservation on Resy. We watched several walk ups without reservations get turned away which was unfortunate for them! Staff were wearing masks the entire time and seats were socially distanced; we felt very safe here. read more

Was in Burlington for a conference and had some time to kill before I had to head to the airport. Some one suggested foam brewers so I decided to give it a try. It was early afternoon on a Thursday so it was pretty empty. I safe at the bar and the bar tender was really friendly. I got one of their sours and it was really good! The location was nice since it was close to the lake. There was a food truck setting up while I was leaving and their patio seemed really cute. I would definitely recommend this brewery! read more

Hidden gem on Burlington waterfront! Happened upon Foam when I was out for a stroll. Barkeeps were welcoming and had a great selection of craft offerings! read more

We are from out of the area and stopped by at the end of June. Unfortunately, we were unable to sit outside, they were booked! Reservations are a must. Luckily, we were able to sit inside. There were only a handful of tables inside, so we felt comfortable - very well socially distanced! We didn't eat, so my review is solely based on their beer. I had three beers and they were all outstanding. My husband also had three (different styles) and equally enjoyed his selections. read more

Foam Brewers - Breweries Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

This place was named one of the top places to visit while in Burlington so I wanted to check it out. I've never heard of Foam Beers so I asked the bartender for a recommendation of a light beer. He had such a nice smile that I agreed to whatever he said. The beer was just eh. They didn't have much of a food menu and the live music was not my taste so we headed out. The place is huge and they had outdoor seating both inside and out. I can see this as a nice gathering place for a bunch of people. However, $8 for one beer is a little too pricey for me. read more

After a day of sight seeing, I stopped in here for some pre-dinner drinks. I ordered two beers and a little snack of cheese and bread. Food was good. The beers, I can not remember what I ordered, were pretty good. Place has a nice laid back atmosphere. Located on the Burlington waterfront, it is easy walk if staying in the downtown area. If walking, walk along Lake Street. I tried walking through the parking lot behind the buildings and got disoriented. The entrance is easier to find from out front. read more

Cool place with some good beer, and a pretty nice location. The venue is a bit college student oriented for my taste, with a funky bar and neon lighting, Inside really felt more like a bar than a brewery. They have some like that here as well, and that's fine, but it wasn't what I expected for a brewery vibe, and had me a little thrown off. All that said, the service was good, the beer was good, and it wasn't overly loud despite it being quite crowded. Be sure to check out the shore walk before or after. We started from the shore, but snuck out the back on the way out and took a shortcut dirt path back up the hill to the hotel. It was dark and not ideal if you don't have grippy shoes, but it seemed like it saved a good chunk of time. read more

One of our first stops on our world wind beer tour. Great outside area for warmer days, live music by Steve Hartmann who was fabulous. Lots of seating inside on the brewery side, including a small area of swag to buy. They did let us taste the beers for free, and I chose the Leopold as an 8 oz pour to buy. We sat and enjoyed the music as I enjoyed the beer. They have another side to the place, which is their restaurant, but it wasn't open when we were there, so may be a reason to go back! read more

There a lot of buzz around Foam, and very well deserved. They have pretty cool beers, not traditional, and the space is pretty eclectic. The bartenders keep you entertained, as well as the tourists that walk in from different parts of the world, sometimes making you realize how far people travel, yet not necessarily for beer. I got a few beers here, some sour, some bitter IPA's, and a charcuterie board because the beer plus the high alcohol level are a dangerous combo. I was specially happy to get local products on that board. Cool place to hang, with bathrooms and a tiny retail area, lots of parking outside, and stuff to go to nearby. Very enjoyable area and a quick walk to the lake. read more

Beers tasted really good, had this one double IPA that tasted like a mimosa. Came here on a Friday afternoon and they told us it was a 45 minute wait.... We ended up getting the beers to go which was unfortunate because it looked really cute inside. The host was kinda rude but the bartender was so helpful and nice. read more

Foam Brewers - Beers to go - Breweries Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Great beer, great service 90% of the time. We did go around 9:30 on a saturday night for a beer or 2 and they wanted a $5.00 cover charge to go in for a beer. We said we would just stay outside, we came to the BREWERY for beer...NOT A LOCAL JAM BAND. since we were probably only going to have 1 beer... we couldnt justify paying an additional $5 for a beer due to the cover, so we left. if management ever reads this... if you want to have a music venue... do so. if you want to pay a band to come to your brewery... do so. But dont force people that want and pay TOP $$ for your product to support your music options. read more

Centrally location makes this a convenient spot to duck into for a high quality brew. Lots of indoor and out door seating. Top of the line beer although please note food selection is sparse. Just snacks and cheeseboard a. They may be affiliated with a restaurant next door but it's not open all hours such as the odd time between dinner and lunch ~2:30pm-ish. Excellent spot to check out. read more

Foam Brewers - Imperial ipa, with a bit of "foam" - Breweries Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Great beers! This brewery is pulling me deeper into the IPA world, when I'm usually an imperial stout and barleywine drinker.

Only had beers and NA drinks but we had a good time sitting out on the patio. Not great views of the lake from most of the patio but you do get some views (seats at the high bar and closest to the arch at the entry have the best view). We enjoyed our visit. read more

Had to check this place out, received recommendations from few people with this place at the first of the list. Definitely make reservations ahead of time! We were turned away at 4pm on a random Thursday because we didn't have reservations and were told they were "all booked for the day." Not sure what that was about. We still tried again next day with success. Nice selection, took home Alien Observer, which was really good. Maybe a little over hyped but not a bad place to check out at least once read more

Foam Brewers was sot of a last addition to our Burlington, VT excursion but I am so glad that we headed here before the end of the day because might have been my favorite brewery of the day (although I also loved Citizen Cider but that does not count :)). It was a warm Friday afternoon and we arrived just before "happy hour" and I was surprised that many others were taking advantage of the gorgeous weather. The brewery itself is pretty chill with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available. We started outside to get some vitamin D and then headed inside to check out the atmosphere. Regardless of where we were - the views, vibe and most importantly the beer were top notch. We were sad that they did not have much in cans to bring back to CT BUT we sampled all that they had on tap (:)) and will definitely be back when we head up to VT in the future. It must be something in the water or the air but Foam Brewers (along with the other breweries we visited that weekend) are making some of the best beers I have had the pleasure of drinking- I just wish they distributed to CT. read more

They don't do flights, but I still enjoyed this place. There is a backyard patio with plenty of shade as well as a really cute front patio. The inside was spacious and always pretty empty when I was there. You can order and pay from table QR codes and someone will bring you your drink. There was a food truck at the entrance. Great spot close to the waterfront. Definitely a place for repeat visits. read more

Foam is in a great setting - right off the waterfront in a cool brick building with outdoor seating. Went on a Wednesday night with three friends and our two dogs (dog friendly.. at least outdoor seating is). I got two glasses of the 'Safe Mind' lager which was really light and crispy (perfect for me, someone who is normally a wine drinker) and my friends got an array of hoppy beers, all tasty. We ordered some food - I got the vegan Rueben which was AWESOME. Honestly, not sure how 'reuben-y' I'd call it, but it was a delicious vegan sandwich made with beet seitan. Seitan texture was very tender (but not falling apart) and had the perfect flavor - complemented by a slaw and some cashew cheese. 5 stars, would get again. One friend enjoyed their chicken sandwich and another enjoyed the cheese board. Overall, great location, friendly service, good ambiance and a great (but light) selection of food and beer. Extra kudos for allowing our pups outside. read more

Stopped in to grab a table and have a few beers. Unfortunately we went at a bad time and all the tables were booked with reservations. The hostess was super friendly and suggested that we try some cans to go which they sell from the side of the building. That's what we did. Grabbed two four packs to go and went back to the room. The beer was delicious. read more

Foam Brewers - Breweries Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Stopped at Foam Brewers on Saturday afternoon. Had a few beers before it became too packed to be enjoyable. It was impossible to even stand up without someone reaching for your chair. The beers seemed fine, but none to run out to try. Quality: Tried three beers during our visit. First was the House of Fermentology: Royals, a pick from my wife, which was far too sour for me. It is a beer that hits you right in the heart. I thought The Shining double IPA was good, though it was less fruity than labeled. My highlight was definitely Spelled In Bones imperial stout. Appreciated just a touch of heat to smooth out the sweeter elements. Quantity: Pour sizes clearly labeled on the menu. Value: $6-$8.50 for a Draft Beer. Ambiance: Foam Brewers is located near the waterfront in Burlington. It immediately stands out with its crowd of people in a relatively quiet area. They have two outdoor spaces, the more designed one in the front, and then thrown together tables under a tent in the back. Inside the space is a little awkward, with assorted high-tops and stools thrown in where they fit. I could imagine challenges for seating when the temperature drops. On this day they had a DJ, but they also seem to rotate live bands as well. Crowd: No seats inside or out just a few hours after it opened. Many large groups of college kids. Service: It got too busy for the staff to keep up, the line stretched out the door. Parking: Large shared parking lot. read more

I thought Foam was great! I was happily surprised that it was pretty busy at 3pm on a Tuesday. We sat on the patio ( we got chairs with backs- totally recommend). Service was pretty good... we had to flag down our server a couple times. The beer was great, inside was super cold with the AC blasting, it felt great! read more

After walking around the waterfront for a bit, we decided to stop into Foam Brewers to try a beer or two. The parking lot was really horrendous with huge potholes due to the fact that it's mainly dirt and sand. It was also confusing as to whether we could park there for the brewery or not, but it seemed that everyone else was, so we went ahead and followed suit. The brewery was packed around 2:30 on a cloudy, almost rainy Saturday afternoon. We weren't able to get a seat at one of the tables or the bar, which was a bummer. We each ordered a glass and stood at a barrel table for a bit while we drank. The beers that we chose were good, just wish we could've found a spot and stayed longer! Would love to come back when it's warmer as it looks like they have some outdoor seating as well. read more

We love this brewery because they have amazing beers and a gorgeous venue. Live music is a great addition to the atmosphere as well. The only slight downside is that the place is always so busy.
