Ten Bends Beer

This brewer is a HIDDEN GEM in Hyde Park. Extremely strong line-up of beers. Northern Heights was a beauty. And Cream Puff War was a pleasant surprise. Glen was a great host and made us feel very welcome. Plus my TBB t-shirt seems to be of higher quality than typical brewery offerings. Glen pours beer like a BOSS! Great visit in early February, 2023.

Super chill brewery off the beaten path. I appreciated the nice variety on tap and the beers we tried were great. Also appreciated the solid food truck on site. Would come back!

Great variety of brews, plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating, brick oven pizza truck on site when we were there. Nice vibe all around, music, theming.

My favorite brewery--it made me an IPA fan (somehow captures the taste of Vermont, too). I'm a stout, porter, brown, and red fan--their stouts and porters are excellent, too, when available. Too many great beers made here: new brews debut and disappear with regularity--raising questions as to whether they'll be seen and imbibed again or (gasp!) make it into the rotation. Great beer, great staff. Never disappointed (unless a new release is sold out) and always a pleasure speaking to Glenn or Jeremy. Worth a trip from anywhere.

Beer is expensive. Place is kind of hard to find, hidden in the back of an industrial building. Found the high gravity Dark Haze, 4oz for $5 ($4.40). However, they were playing Grateful Dead on vinyl. 😀

Again and again! Do not go to popular downtown places with many reviews! Go to Ten Bends if you’re looking for really good beer

After visiting 11 other Vermont breweries it’s safe to say that northern heights is the best beer we had in Vermont. Cool spot, other beers were great here but this one stood out.

Great small local brewery tucked away near a gym and antiques place. Great beer! Very helpful and personable!

The beer was delicious. Super beautiful spot and the beer tender was awesome. The Hefeweizen and the IPA we had were solid choices. The vibe was perfect - local and low key. We will definitely be visiting again next time we are in the area. Again, GREAT beer and beautiful views! (Bring your own food maybe!)

A small and intimate tasting room, in the heart of beer centric Vermont. Beer flights are available so you have a chance to try almost everything on tap. And then you can buy what you like in cans.

On my way back from Hill Farmstead, I asked one of the beertenders where I should stop at. He recommended a smaller brewery, Ten Bends. Ten Bends Beer is a craft brewery in Hyde Park, Vermont that produces small-batch ales and lagers. The brewery's name comes from a neighborhood in Hyde Park and the Lamoille River, which bends ten times between Morrisville and Johnson, Vermont. Ten Bends Beer's beers are inspired by the region and are made with creative experimentation and perseverance. I enjoyed a flight while here: Refractives White Grape: A Kettle Sour Beer with nice notes of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Tartness isn't too high, which allows some of the aromatic and subtlety of the grape to come through. Cream Puff War Peach: A Double IPA that is brewed with honey malt and lactose, fermented with Peach Puree, and then Double Dry Hopped. The lactose gives it a fuller mouthfeel and pulls out the orange julius, dare I say, peach julius, vibes of the beer. Not too sweet, but definitely on the sweeter side. Green Fountains: A Hazy IPA hopped with Cascade, Mosaic, and Strata. I get strong notes of citrus and pine, finishing with dank overripe pineapple. Dark Daze: An Imperial Stout aged in Whiskey Barrels. Lower in viscosity than a lot of barrel aged stouts nowadays, but beautiful dark cacao, espresso, and fig notes rounded out by vanilla and oak. ______________

Good vibe, great beer, and nice staff. As far as breweries Ten Bends is a ten our ten. Welcoming and laid back environment. Indoor and outside seating, the only issue I could see is the need for more tables and more seating options for when it gets busy. This is a great stop on any brewery tour or for any small parties/ get together looking to start their night out right. Most importantly the staff was super nice and the cost was very reasonable. Cherry on top is this sundae....DOGS are always Welcome.

I love their beer and was very excited that their tasting room was open!! Tried all their draft offerings and really enjoyed them all, even the ones I wouldn't normally drink. We bought a four packs of almost everything . The gentleman that was running the taproom was most helpful. If you love craft beer I highly recommend a visit here. Northern Heights, Luminous, Hover Bridge and Rotary Chaos were my favorites!! Cheers

Great little brewery. Fantastic beer, and friendly staff. Stopped in for a quick beer, grabbed some to takeaway. A few snacks available, which kept the kids happy and also non-alcoholic seltzer for them as well. Nice place, would recommend.

I had their Cream Puff War at Stowe Cider and it was amazing. So I made it a priority to get to the brewery the next day they were open. They have a super tiny tasting room. A little deck out front with some more tables. Smells amazing as you walk through the brewing area to get into the tasting room. My wife and I had a flight with four of their beers and they were all very good. Get here while they are still small. It won't be long before they blow up and you might have to stand in line to get their stuff!

Very expensive. Laughable 2 dollar small pour charge. Watched a local getting free pours, when they wanted me to pay 7 dollars for a 12 ounce porter that was 5% abv, was sorta insulting. Sorta like, yeah no I'm not a chump feeling. Def a cool place if you know the owner and get hammered at the end of the bar, as a first time guest I'd say you're better off drinking their cans from a gas station. Expect drinking beers at New York City prices with dirt bag surroundings. Did like the ipa, not the experience, so I average at 3 stars.

Really cool, small brewery located off the beaten path. The entire brewery had an almost museum like vibe and was very clean (uncommon for some breweries). Cream Puff War was delicious and prices were reasonable. Staff was super knowledgeable about their beers and willing to educate some more novice beer drinkers. Only downside was limited indoor seating, but it wasn't too busy when we went. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping in, chatting with the staff, and trying some beer that's less common in Burlington.
