Walking distance, with a great patio and $2 bottomless popcorn. Conehead is my favourite IPA, and they have a nice selection of cask beers, saisons, pale ales and lagers. I also love the Bernie Weisse in the summer, which they sell canned and sometimes on tap, with a blueberry syrup addition, if you're lucky.

Great location by waterfront park in Burlington, with an outdoor patio. But be warned, this location is often very busy especially in summer months! They make amazing sours. You can also buy bottles of beer here, made by the House of Fermontology, that are blended, aged and fermented in oak barrels.

If you're into beer you've probably already heard of this brewery. It has been voted the best brewery of the year, 5 years in a row. This is a nice day trip from Burlington but check the website for hours before visiting. Hill Farmstead Brews can be tasted on top at many local restaurants.

The new BBCO tasting room opened in Fall 2021 in a historic building on Flynn Ave and has a ton to offer. It is walking distance from the airbnb house and in our opinion, is one of the top breweries in Burlington. Their food menu is delicious and varied making this a destination spot for a family dinner or a beer-tasting afternoon.

Forested walking paths that are great for a run or walk, with views of Shelburne Bay. I think the full loop is about 3-miles but you can do shorter loops as well. You can also walk down to the rocky beach.
