Where to Find Trapp Lager

Kegs of Trapp lager await distribution to Vermont bars and restaurants. Trapp Lodge Brewery's Brew Master Allen Van Anda hopes you'll be able to raise a glass of Trapp beer in Boston or New York City before long, too.

Initially, the brewery at Trapp Family Lodge will produce two flagship beers available year-round. The Helles golden lager, which I had a chance to sample, is light and crisp and would pair well with just about anything, from cheese, grapes and light appetizers to a fish dinner. Vienna amber lager will be the brewery's second mainstay beer, and seasonal brews, such as an Oktoberfest, are planned, as well.

Van Anda is also investigating the feasibility of creating a non-alcoholic beer, as well as an all-natural root beer for kids.

Legislation is pending that would allow the beers to be served at the Trapp Family Lodge, as well as at the brewery. Trapp lager will also be available at bars and restaurants in Vermont and eventually, perhaps, in New York City and Boston. The distributor, Van Anda said, has already made inroads in Stowe, Burlington and Montpelier.
