Ryan’s Roundup

Over the past decade, 14th Star Brewing has contributed much to Vermont’s vibrant brewing culture, as well as to the overall northeast brewing scene. We are proud of the brewing culture that exists here in the Green Mountain State. This drives us, and will keep us motivated as we enter the next decade of business.

As we wrap up our Decade of Dedication, we have been honoring the past, and the heritage of our early beginnings. And now, as we are looking ahead and steadily building for the future, we found ourselves with renewed energy as we engage in some wayfinding for the next round. Throughout 2022, we took the opportunity to refocus and modernize our core portfolio offerings, along with allowing the crew to start cementing their stamps on this brewery with the new foundation we began to build.

The overall destination for our portfolio has always been about balance, but the road seemed unmarked in a fast-paced, always-changing, and incredibly innovative craft beer market. We leaned in and trusted our instincts, experience, and palates to shine a light on our new beers in 2022, which will continue into 2023 and beyond.

While we are excited to build upon new opportunities, the mission remains the same: being a craft brewery known for producing a wide variety of world-class beers, raising awareness, and supporting local organizations and various charities, all while allowing new exploration to inspire our future path. But always remembering our commitments to brewing quality, community involvement, sustainability, fostering a positive culture, an “all are welcome here” mentality, creating safe environments for our staff and guests, and service to our brand.

We welcome you all to join us and encourage you to check out our full 2023 Brand Deck Presentation.

General Manager 14th Star Brewing Co.

Brewing up Empowerment

We are excited to team up with our friends at Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports to brew “Empowerment” — a new hazy Vermont Pale Ale perfect for enjoying after a day of play in the Green Mountains!

14th Star Brewer Andrew Godiksen Says: “Empowerment is a modern style Pale Ale, a west coast meets Vermont. This hazy light straw-colored beer has notes of grapefruit and tangerine. It also has the OG dankness associated with West coast IPAs to blend the two coasts together and create a very well-balanced beer. 14th Star is proud to use a hearty amount of Vermont kilned wheat from Vermont Malt House as well as Vermont-grown hops from Champlain Valley Hops in this beer. The slight bitterness pairs well with the big juicy flavors of tangerine and grapefruit as well as a soft finish from its house yeast used for NE IPAs. Sliding in at 5.5% ABV, this beer is perfect to enjoy a few for some Apres fun.”

Every sip of Empowerment helps support Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports’ year-round programming for people of all ages and abilities.
