Last call for Burlington pub that helped launch Vermont’s craft beer scene

The Vermont Pub & Brewery, a longtime Burlington fixture, is closing after 38 years. It helped launch the state’s craft beer scene, but now its doors are closing. Josh Bayer, the head brewer at Foam in Burlington, said the pub’s founder, Greg Noonan, was a trailblazer in the industry. Noonan lobbied for three years to make manufacturing beer and selling it on-site legal. Without his work, none of the current brewers would be able to do what they do today. The pub was a central downtown spot to grab a bite and a beer, and it sat right on College Street, with patio views of City Hall Park. For many, it was a must-see on their first trip to Vermont. It was a magical place, a cozy hangout, and the food was always fantastic along with the beers. Now, it’s the end of an era for the pub.

The closure is due to multiple factors, including construction impacts, decreased Canadian tourism, inflation, and more. Pecor, one of the co-owners, said the pub has been a home and a gathering place for so many. The staff has been the most valuable part of the pub, and many of them have pledged their support to it in its final weeks. The pub will be open for its last day of full service on November 14, and it will remain a warm and welcoming place until then. The pub’s closing is a reminder of the work of those who came before the current brewers.
