"Butterfly Bakery gives us a market we don’t have to invent or manage every single day. If I get a flat tire, I’m not missing my one chance to sell that week. Our days are more predictable and our mission is clearer. We can focus on growing 15 crops really well instead of juggling 30 just to stay competitive at the farmers’ market. I can focus on farming instead of marketing."

Queen City Brewery

Queen City Brewery opened in June 2014 and is located in a renovated warehouse in Burlington's vibrant and historically industrial South End. With over 16 taps available, their rotating beer list might include a delicate German lager, a robust Scottish winter warmer, a regional American specialty, an ancient monastic beer, an elegant English ale or a unique seasonal offering that's sure to please anyone who enjoys a fine glass of beer.

Paul Hale, (Brewmaster), Paul Held, and Phil Kaszuba are the managing partners of the brewery. As long-time friends and home brewers with a fondness for traditional beer styles, Queen City represents the culmination of nearly 30 years of recipe formulation and research (i.e., multiple beer trips to Europe).
