Please join us for a Picnic with the Brewers at Champlain Valley Hops on September 20th, 2022. Champlain Valley Hops is the largest hop farm east of Michigan and is nestled in the beautiful Champlain Valley. During this time of year, the hops are being harvested and it is the best time to visit, learn, see, and smell the hops that go into so many of our Vermont beers.

Included in your ticket price is a welcome beer, a guided tour from Champlain Valley Hops staff, a picnic meal from Lucky Star Catering, and a discussion panel with 4 Vermont Brewers. We will also have beer available for purchase throughout the event. Every ticket holder will be entered to win a YETI lunch box and colster. The winner will be picked at the event and can take home their prize then.
