Our take: If you are looking for a place to buy great craft beer, your first stop needs to be Stowe Public House and Bottle Shop in Stowe village. The store has two parts — a craft beer and wine store with a vast selection of local Vermont breweries and other regional craft beers, and a tasting room where you can sample beers on tap. Ask the friendly staff for a recommendation and they always have the trending craft beers stocked up in their coolers.
