Magic Hat Brewing Company
Magic Hat Brewing Company, South Burlington, Vermont: Where ancient alchemy meets modern day science to create the best tasting beer on the planet. The saturnalian saga of the Magic Hat Brewing Company began in 1978 in a Goddard College bathtub, where future brew master Bob Johnson first cultivated his maniacally obsessive interest in making “better beer with bigger flavor.” In a moment of supreme serendipity, Fate sent him off to an accidental meeting on a random Burlington street with future Magic Hat president Alan Newman. Before you could pour a pint, a brewery was born.
