The Vermont Pub and Brewery opened in November of 1988, but its' history did not begin on that day. For three years, Greg and Nancy Noonan petitioned the Vermont legislature to change the law to allow pub brewing in the the state. The legislation was passed in May of 1988. The Noonans began working to convert a space that has formerly been a prep kitchen, office, and a banquet room into a 14 barrel brewery to service the 175 seat restaurant. The brewery equipment itself is a compilation of old-fasioned Yankee ingenuity. You see a lot of showpiece breweries nowadays, but a decade ago these off-the-shelf brewies didn't exist. Using a maple sap boiler, a stockyard feeder, and a former commercial ice cream manufacturing vessel, Greg Noonan designed a brewery that has become nationally and internationally known and respected for its' fine ales and lagers. Greg is a well known speaker at national beer conferences, has written numerous articles for various industry publications and is the author of three brewing books: Brewing Lager Beer, Scotch Ales and The Seven Barrel Book of Brewing. He has also acted as a consultant for several brew-pubs and micro breweries regarding start-up and brewery design. Located in Burlington, Vermont near the shores of Lake Champlain, the Vermont Pub and Brewery has become a local landmark and a mecca for aficionados and pub-goers alike. The Pub's interior gleams with the warmth of dark mahogany, patterned tile floors and an attached greenhouse. Lunch and dinner are served daily with brunch on Sunday.
