Beyond the NEK, But Still Local-Ish
Just beyond Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, you can find other amazing Vermont craft breweries.
In Littleton, New Hampshire, just about thirty minutes from Kingdom Trails and Darling Hill, you’ll find Schilling. Visit the tasting room or enjoy beer and pizza in the brewpub overlooking the Ammonoosuc River. Note: The Chicken Maple Bacon Pizza is a must. You will also find gluten free fare on the pub menu. A few minutes beyond Littleton, you’ll discover Rek’ Lis Brewing Company, where you can find cool brew and good food, including beet beer and nachos.
In Vermont, not too far past the NEK, you can find the Alchemist (known for Heady Topper) in Stowe. Oh, and if beer is not your thing, but you prefer the hard stuff, like Gin, definitely make Barr Hill in Montpelier a stop.
