February Draft Beer of the Month

While Blue Moon Brewing Company is typically known for their mastery of the Witbier, a Belgian-style white ale, they also have excellent selection of seasonal beers including American Amber Ale.

This February, at the Craft Beer Exchange, you can try Blue Moon Valencia Amber Ale in a 64oz growler bottle for just $7.99.

This Limited Specialty Release beer is perfectly balanced with roasted malts, Valencia orange peel, and a touch of wheat. Poured into a pint glass, you’ll see a light beige head and the classic amber color. The enticing blend of malt notes and hints of citrus bring forth a crisp taste and an uplifting sweet aroma – just the right combination for shaking off the cold and looking forward to the warm weather of Spring.

Get crafty with your giving this season!

Taste of Vermont Fall Beer Tour

When I think about the Fall, one of the first places that comes to mind is Vermont. A trek along the many trails to soak in the picturesque fall foliage has been on my bucket list for quite some time, but there is also another reason I really want to visit Vermont…

The beer!

If you didn’t know, Vermont is home to some of the most exciting craft breweries in the country and they make some tasty beers.

To celebrate this, our friends at Long Trail, Otter Creek and Wolaver’s are bringing their Taste of Vermont Fall Beer Tour to the Craft Beer Exchange.

During the week of October 3rd, we will be featuring beers from all three breweries on tap at each of our 12 locations.

We will be giving customers a free pint glass with the purchase of a growler fill of any Long Trail, Otter Creek or Wolaver’s beer (while supplies last).

You can also join us for tasting events at the following locations:
