Local Brew Connections

Foam Brewers has become one of Vermont's favorite breweries, since they opened their doors on Burlington's Lake Street in 2016. Since then, they've expanded to offer a full-service restaurant called Deep City, and they work with a variety of local farm partners to not only source food for the restaurant, but also source hops and grain for the beers brewed at foam. VFN's executive director Tara Pereira talks with Bob Grim of Foam Brewers, Zach Toensing of Deep City, and Kevin Broderick of Whitefield Hop Yard about the relationships their businesses have, and how they've built a sustainable cycle from the farm, to the glass, to the table.  Note: shortly after this episode was recorded, Deep City announced that they'll be closing indefinitely for normal service, due to a variety of challenges facing the restaurant and hospitality industry. Foam Brewers remains open and thriving, and they continue to have a strong relationship with Whitefield Hop Yard. We look forward to Deep City's reopening in the future!
