Hired Hand Brewing Co. - Vergennes

Delicious food and beer! I normally am not a fan of Amber Lagers but theirs was delicious! We sat on the patio and they allow dogs so our pups got to relax with us Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We visited this establishment a few nights ago. Was brought through to the back room by the waitress kind of weird. Said there was a party going on so we had to sit in this back room area. OK so we did ordered a cocktail cocktail what is not Made right didn't complain. Maybe they just didn't have a bartender on. As it was early, am I a little picky yes, I was a bartender for many years. Overlooked the incorrect ingredients of the cocktail. I ordered and waited for the entrée. It came out on the small pewter like Rectangular tray plates. Almost looking like what my son called prison plates. I get what they were going for the industrial look but we laughed and yeah, it look like a tray from the prison not that I've ever eaten a prison or been in prison. It was interesting. The plate was very small and as I try to Eat my food it kept falling over the edges onto the table. Pretty inconvenient. Well here's the saving grace. The food was actually delicious. Too bad the presentation wasn't helping. Also, it was really loud in this back room area. There was another couple there and saying that there was not a single soft surface in the whole room it was almost like they were sitting at our table. Every word they said was as if they were sitting at our table. Kind of snapped at our conversation because we felt we like we were competing against them so we ate the delicious food try to not look at the prison plates And the fact that that room was so cold and our butts were freezing on the metal chairs. The waitress was fine and quite friendly. But the feeling of the room really put a damper on everything as well as my cocktail not even being close to what I had ordered. Could I have sent a cocktail back sure but I really wanted to like this place will try it again. Maybe it was an off night. Like I said, the food was delicious half the reason anyone goes out to dine is the presentation and the ambience of the room and both those were lacking.

I don't think this is open any longer. Kind like it's just Antidote brewery now. Should update the site

Great beer, nice outdoor seating. We didn't try the food. Service was efficient and I have nothing to complain about really but it could be a little bit more friendly. Service: Dine in Meal type: Other Price per person: $10–20

Smoked wings are Amazing!!! Beer was very good too.
