Winter 24: A Month in Texas

Switchback Brewing Co.

Switchback Brewing Co: Burlington, VT

Karsten and Zaboo

Switchback Brewing is in a warehouse district, with a nice indoor space as well as a pleasant outdoor space, however it is right next to a water processing plant. We were there at 3:30 on a Tuesday afternoon and there was just one other couple there.  Would like to see it more busy  but I realize it was during the day.  Ambiance gets a 3.

Selection at Switchback was decent but really not a lot of variety, mostly ales.  Tim had the Zaboo, a hazy IPA which he rated 3.5/5 in Untapped.  I had the Karsten, a 'premium lager' which I enjoyed.  Selection gets a 2.



As for branding, Switchback does have brew specific imagery which we always like to see.  They have a visually interesting website and Instagram page.  A wide variety of merchandise.  Stickers were $2.  Branding gets a 3.

As for price, we paid $12 for two 16 oz pours, which is good for the area.  Price gets a 4.  Overall a great place for a beer, and right next to Burlington Brewing (we did not stop in) AND the world's tallest filing cabinet!
