1st Republic Brewing Co

Veteran Owned Brewery

1st Republic Brewing Company (1st RBC) is Veteran owned and operated by Shawn Trout and Mike Drake. Both Mike and Shawn served our great country on active duty, as well as, the Vermont Army National Guard. Both served with distinction overseas in either Iraq or Afghanistan. We love beer. We love to brew it; we love to drink it, we love to teach others about it. Nothing represents a gathering of true friends like a raised pint of cold beer. Because you deserve the best, we’re creating some of the best Veteran crafted brews in the area! For beer lovers, come join us for a flight of samples, a full pint, some locally delivered food, fun, games and a great atmosphere. Pull up a chair or relax on the couch in the taproom and enjoy a fresh pint of one of Shawn’s latest releases.
