About Black Flannel Brewing Company

Black Flannel is a one-of-a-kind brewery, brewpub & distillery in Essex.

With 1 Advanced Cicerone® and 4 Certified Cicerone®’s plus multiple Beer Judges on staff, Black Flannel Brewing and Distilling Companies have a strong commitment to quality. Beer, Spirits, Food, Cocktails, Service - anything we offer to our guests will be a carefully considered and crafted experience.

A good example of our commitment to quality is our BEER quality testing and sensory evaluation program. From grain to glass, Black Flannel and our supply partners run ingredients and finished beer through a series of over 100 quality checkpoints to ensure our guests have the best experience while enjoying our beer. This includes a sensory evaluation program (called the “Flannel Panel”) which consists of a group of loyal and happy tasters, ranging from industry professionals, to certified beer judges, to typical consumers. This panel is tasked with the job of ensuring the beer in the glass represents the level of quality we are (and will become more) well known for in Vermont.

SPIRITS. Black Flannel Distilling Company is the only distillery in the state of Vermont that is within the same physical footprint as a sister brewing company. This provides very unique opportunities for collaboration and achieving the best quality fermentations, leading to top quality, clean, smooth, and highly creative products. This quality carries through to our craft cocktail program. Most of our craft cocktails will be made with 100% Black Flannel brewed or distilled products.

The simple fact that Black Flannel Distilling Co. ferments and distills everything on-site sets us apart from a vast majority of other spirit manufacturers in Vermont and beyond. Most buy their distilled products in bulk and barrel age, infuse botanicals, back sweeten, or finish in some other way before bottling and adding their branding to the finished bottle. There is nothing wrong with this approach. We simply believe that the ability to control the quality - fruit, vegetable, or grain to glass - makes for a more interesting and superior result.

Our BREWPUB is a full service restaurant where our team of talented chefs prepare unique dishes right before your eyes. Our menu is specifically designed to pair optimally with our beer, spirits, and craft cocktails to bring you a one of a kind experience not available anywhere else in Vermont. Our service team are passionate about beer and delivering a fun and enjoyable dining experience for our valued guests.
