    Just sample them all!
    Andrew P.

    3 - Good choice if you're in the area. Skip to the end to see my rating scale. BLUF: if you're in the mood for German beer and food, I'd give a higher rating. I could even see trying to talk mama into driving an hour if I really had a taste for some schnitzel. So rating Von Trapp a high 3 is based on an average evening where you're not sure what you want for dinner. As I've alluded to, it's German themed as it was founded by the family around which the Sound of Music was written. Our server was fantastic. She was the right balance of helpful and fun without dominating our experience. The outdoor patio is dog friendly and it's an overall comfortable environment. Most importantly, the beers were good. (We sampled them all.) They were again all German style, so if you're looking for a couple of NEIPAs or ESBs to pick from you won't find one. If we're ever in Stowe again, I'd happily return to spend an evening. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

    Delicious salmon

    This place is a beautiful lodge-style bierhall with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of hiking. The servers were friendly and welcoming, and the food was excellent. The salmon with roasted vegetables and farro was the standout of the meal, and the zucchini fritters were superb. Great atmosphere, delicious food, and good beer. A highly recommend stopping when in Stowe!

    My family and I came here for lunch during our recent visit to Stowe. My wife is a big fan of The Sound of Music, so visiting this bierhall was high on her list of places to try in Vermont. We had a 1:00pm. reservation, and when we arrived, the restaurant was packed. Despite how busy it was, we were seated promptly and requested a table outside, which made for a great dining experience. Our server took our drink orders, and my wife had a Dunkel while I ordered a Helles. Both beers were excellent. We placed our food order, and everything came out surprisingly fast. My youngest son ordered the burger with spaetzle, and my oldest had the mushroom stroganoff. They both finished their meals without a single complaint. My wife ordered the bratwurst sandwich with a side of spaetzle, and I had the chicken schnitzel. Everything was flavorful, well prepared, and satisfying. Overall, we had a great experience. Between the friendly service, the lively atmosphere, and the delicious food and beer, this is definitely a place I'd return to. The menu has plenty of items I'd love to try the next time we're back in Stowe.

    Loved this historic brewery. The space is huge, with plenty of indoor seating, a beautiful sunroom filled with windows, and outdoor seating as well. It did feel like we were in The Sound of Music! The menu is on the smaller side and doesn't offer many dietary accommodations, but they were able to provide gluten-free crackers with the cheese plate. He even brought an extra serving of crackers for us. I also ordered an iceberg salad, which came with a generous amount of dressing. I do wish there had been a gluten-free beer or cider option available, as that would have made the experience even better. Overall, a really charming spot with great atmosphere and historic character.

    Our first time coming to Stowe and it did not disappoint! This establishment was in our list to visit. My family and I came Memorial Day Weekend. At first, we tried to get reservations for Sunday evening but it didn't workout out. We tried again the following afternoon and were able to get a reservation for lunch. Staff was very friendly. Food was delicious and plentiful -- family style meal portions to share and there was a great selection of beer that we enjoyed. Loved the vibe of the place when we first walked in and loved reading up on the history of the Von Trapps. We are very much looking forward to our next trip up!

    Gorgeous beer garden
    Lori G.

    Stopped here on a gorgeous August day just as the sun was going down. The beer garden is absolutely spectacular and has the most gorgeous view. The beers are good. I'll have to come back and try the German fare.

    Exceptional Brewery, Exceptional Beer, Exceptional Food! The finest European beers is the USA! Gorgeous brew hall and restaurant. The food is 5 Star! The Charcuterie is "Top Tier" with all the finest meats, cheeses, olives, etc. The brats and the pork belly are phenomenal. Great care was taken to seat us and explain menu options. My Highest Recommendation!

    Spacious, super nice surroundings and very high ceilings make for a great place to stop sample some beers and catch your breath from nearby hiking. My favorite: DUNKEL. You may get some inspiration to start yodeling while you are on the property....

    We really enjoyed our stop to the scenic Von Trapp estate and brewery. The view of the Green Mountains must be seen to fully appreciate. The brewery had the German euro feel to it with very good beers and full food menu. Bratwurst, schnitzel, sausage, and pretzels available. The dining area may require reservations but there is an observation deck for walk ins as well. Service was very friendly and helpful. Parking is very large.

    Burger with red cabbage (nobody liked the cabbage but Burger was good albeit small)
    Shemesh Y.

    Good beer, great food (a little pricy), cool space. We had the salmon, which was very good, the burgers (on the smaller side), and a pretzel. Service was kind and quick, and we enjoyed the experience.

    Schnitzel style chicken sandwich
    Morgan L.

    Really enjoyed our meal here! This was our first stop upon arriving in Stowe on a snowy day, and it really was picturesque. The interior is open and spacious, but cozy. It has the perfect bier hall vibe. It was pretty quiet because it was an off time and due to the snow. I have been here when it's bustling. Service was friendly and fast. Their lagers are always great and pair perfectly with your food, whether you're having snacks or a meal. We shared a schnitzel style chicken sandwich with fries and fresh spatzle with roasted vegetables. We had a lot of great food on this trip, but this was one of my favorite meals. The chicken sandwich had great flavor and the chicken was crunchy without having too much breading. The fries were crisp and well seasoned. The spatzle was sooo soft and buttery and the mix of vegetables with the drizzle of balsamic glaze was the perfect balance. Highly recommend!

    Really cool brewery on top of a mountain with tons of food options. Free parking beer to go available. Food here is a solid choice in my opinion.

    Cheeseburger with Sauerkraut mashed potatoes
    Missy S.

    Service was very good! They had a Pub Trivia which was a lot of fun! Food was good. The avert Cheese soup was delicious and perfect for a snowy night. The pretzel with mustard and beer cheese was SO YUMMY! The Brats were good. My husband and daughter both had one . My daughter was not impressed but my hubby liked his. The spaetzle was tasty as well. Nice atmosphere! The cider and beer of course were delish!!

All come in cans except Heady Topper, which you can grab on draft from a refrigerated beer engine. I have to say, having it on draft is a magical experience.

The potatoes were especially good. They hold events on their website including Boogie Bingo which we attended on Thursday night. Great host with a very dry sense of humor.

The brewery is on the outskirts of town. It is an attractive facility situated on a large property with picturesque views. It was a beautiful day and they have lots of outdoor activities (corn hole, frisbee golf, etc) so there were people everywhere! This is a family friendly brewery and there were lots of kids running around. What a great vibe! I had a hand pulled Heady Topper. The brewery is the only place on the planet you can get Heady Topper hand pulled. It was worth the trip. My wife had a can of Light. I should note that other than Heady Topper everything comes in a can. No draft options which also means no tasting flights. I found that odd, but I get it. Not a big deal and it won't impact my rating. If you are in the area you might want to check this place out.

So while on a trip and looking for a spot to grab some lunch naturally we ended up picking this spot. I've been aware of Lost Nation Brewing but it's been since 2016/2017 when I had a beer from them last. To start they have ample parking and have a nicely painted mural on the side of their building. They have an indoor section we did not check that out and instead sat at the bar in the outdoor section. How can you pass up looking into the kitchen and also the wafting scents of burgers, fries and everything else being cooked. Despite a chillier day than most we have had lately it was worth it! Besides their own brews they had guest taps, guest botttles/cans, and even some cocktails including some spiked apple cider for that fall feeling drink. For beer fans they even had a rotating Hillfarmstead DIPA for a guest tap. I ended up getting their Kolsch and my wife got their gose. Both very solid beers and worth grabbing. Food wise they had a couple burgers, fried chicken sandwich, pulled pork, turkey sandwich, hot dogs, and some small plates. My wife ended up choosing the burger and I got their fried chicken sandwich. She enjoyed the burger and thought it was cooked very well. The chicken sandwich was delicious, the fact it was smothered in honey did make it a bit messy to eat but tasted so good! The fries we got were massive and well seasoned and the side of pickles were great too. Would be a no brainer to get either one again if we visit again! Bartender was friendly and we didn't wait long at all for the drinks or food! Well made brews paired along side delicious food, really what more could you ask for? If you visit during warmer weather it appeared they have a huge outdoor area further back than we were in as well! If you like visiting breweries add this to your list to check out!

We waited about 15 minutes for a table. Not bad at all!! Our server was energetic and accommodating. She cheerfully answered all our questions and honored our request to get a margherita pizza as an appetizer. The aforementioned pizza arrived in no time. It was good. Not the best ever, but still quite solid. The star of the culinary show was the salmon entree. Both my wife and I got it and we both loved it. It was a big piece of wood fired salmon and came with a nice assortment of roasted veggies. I'm talking real veggies--zucchini, broccoli, fingerling potatoes, the works. Neither one of us are big drinkers, but there are LOTS of microbrews on tap if you're into that kind of thing. The dining room was lively without being too noisy. Both of us enjoyed hanging out there. It would be a great place to have a beer and watch baseball on TV. Will definitely return the next time I'm in town.

The poutine was very good, but I'll grant you that it's maybe hard to get that wrong - but their gravy is on point! Service was great - got there around 5:40pm on a Wednesday, so the wait was non-existent and a table for 5 was easy to accommodate. Duncan was the server, who disclosed that he was new but you wouldn't know it from how he took orders and brought food out. Even threw him a curve by asking for the steak frites with an additional side of brussel sprouts, which he handled no problem - even though there weren't any sides I saw on the menu. Steak was medium rare and perfectly seasoned, and I think I mentioned the chimichurri but it deserves additional mention. Maybe you're wondering about beverages. The maple lemonade is great - it leans harder on the tart side and there are sweeter options around (Cliff House) but I love a lemonade that tastes... lemony. Pineapple cherry punch was also a hit - but that's secondhand hearsay, unlike my direct opinion on the chimichurri - which I would drink if I could. Definitely check this place out. The table near ours seemed to immensely enjoy their meal and also get great service from Duncan.
