Brewing unfiltered and naturally carbonated beers in the South End of Burlington, Vermont, since 2002. The Switchback Brewing Company was founded in 2002 by Bill Cherry and his longtime friend, Jeff Nieblum, with one goal in mind – to brew unexpected, relatable, great-tasting beer. The two combined Bill’s expertise in brewing and science with Jeff’s experience as a business entrepreneur. They began testing equipment in August and brewed the first salable batch of Switchback Ale in September. The very first pint of Switchback ever served was at Ake’s Place in Burlington, VT, on October 22, 2002.
