Von Trapp Brewing Explained
von Trapp Brewing is a brewery in Stowe, Vermont, United States. Founded in 2010,[1] as Trapp Lager, it is part of the Trapp Family businesses. The brewery, owned by Sam von Trapp,[2] [3] produces around 2,000 barrels of beer per year.[4] It was the brainchild of Sam's father, Johannes,[5] one of the three children of Georg and Maria von Trapp.[6] The project was delayed, partly because it took almost two years to complete the EB-5 process.[7] Its products are available in twelve states, as of 2022.
In September 2016,[8] the family opened the von Trapp Bierhall on Luce Hill Road, around a mile down the hill from Trapp Family Lodge,[9] which serves food and beverages.[10] The beers are sold on-site. After initially being available only in Vermont, in 2015 they expanded sales into New Hampshire and Massachusetts.[11] They are now also available in Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia and Washington, D.C.[12]
