von Trapp Brewing was founded in 2010, as Trapp Lager, at von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort[1] in Stowe, Vermont. The resort was founded by Georg[2] and Maria von Trapp[3] in 1950. Von Trapp Brewing was established by their youngest son, Johannes von Trapp.[4]
In 2015,[5] the Trapp Family built the 30,000 square foot brewery to expand its distribution from Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts to 17 states as of April 2025.
In September 2016, the family opened the von Trapp Bierhall,[6] a mile from the von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort,[1] serving von Trapp specialty, seasonal and year-round beers and Austrian inspired cuisine. After initially being available only in Vermont, in 2015 they expanded sales into New Hampshire and Massachusetts. von Trapp is available in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Virginia.
