Von Trapp Brewing

von Trapp Brewing is a brewery in Stowe, Vermont, United States. Founded in 2010, as Trapp Lager, it is part of the Trapp Family businesses. The brewery, owned by Sam von Trapp, produces around 2,000 barrels of beer per year. It was the brainchild of Sam's father, Johannes, one of the three children of Georg and Maria von Trapp. The project was delayed, partly because it took almost two years to complete the EB-5 process. Its products are available in twelve states, as of 2022.

In September 2016, the family opened the von Trapp Bierhall on Luce Hill Road, around a mile down the hill from Trapp Family Lodge, which serves food and beverages. The beers are sold on-site. After initially being available only in Vermont, in 2015 they expanded sales into New Hampshire and Massachusetts. They are now also available in Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
