USA, VT: Hop’n Moose Brewing Company plans to open in April

Dale Patterson, the new proprietor of what is to be Rutland's first brew pub, is now in the process of renovating the building, Mountaintimes reported on January 16.

Patterson has dubbed the pub Hop'n Moose Brewing Co. and hopes to have it open April 1.

Patterson is in the final stages of securing the necessary permits but seems confident he can open April 1 and begin serving beer brewed on-site June 1.

This brewery will be the second in Rutland County, which for years was the only county in the state not to have a brewery. Foley Brothers Brewing, in Brandon was the first opening in June 2012.
