Jericho Ale & Bean — Local services in Jericho

Not that I take pride in supporting Corporate Coffee, but I’ve never been able to find a nitro cold brew that rivals Starbucks’, until now. Strolling into the VT RT-15 former General store (which is still undergoing renovation as the new Jericho Ale & Bean and will soon feature in-house and outside dining), I immediately sensed the laid-back vibe laid down by its down-to-earth owners. Although no longer a drinker of alcohol, I smiled inwardly at the sensible marriage of micro-brewed beer and cold-brewed coffee and strode up to the counter to order myself a nitro neat, with no frilly additions. The velvety cascade of nitrogen from the tap set my dopamine receptors a-jangling, a sensation that was only magnified after my first sip. Unbelievably better than my beloved Starbucks nitro. I look forward to a return visit and to a time, hopefully in the near future, when I can get Brew House Nitro in cans throughout Vermont! Update: I have become a fan of the Brewhouse bottled cold brew, a tasty dark roast which I’ve found in Burlington markets and others farther north. I’ve also since tried the bagged whole bean dark roast, which is now my go-to...

This place has the best damn coffee I've ever had, period. It pains me to only be a visitor to this town because if I could have this as my regular coffee place, my life would be, no joke, at least 15% better on average. I've only had the pleasure of frequenting a few times over my visits, but I always go as often as I can. Great coffee, simple and great morning bites, and a homely and inviting vibe that can't be beat. The man who can usually be found running the show in the mornings, Jay, an unflinchingly kind and affable fella. I love the town of Jericho, and it's local businesses like these that make it the special place that it truly is. Stop reading this review right now and go check them out.

Oh, and I may have neglected to mention the beer. I'm not really a beer guy. But I was sure to bring some back home for my friends who are. And they say it stands firmly, if not above the largest craft beer luminaries that the state has to offer. TL;DR, don't sleep on the...

Great concise selection of beers as well as very good coffee. A true nano-scale brewery with some great selections. The beer was all to go at the point I was there, but draft samples in building are due to be available soon. Very much look forward to being able to come back again and sample in store. Underwater Space Helmet was a great hoppy IPA- made sure to have some to bring home with me. Was leaving early, and Jesse was kind enough to respond back to a message and work with me in arranging to be able to purchase some beer before we had to leave, as well as getting some coffees to go. Jesse, Jay, and Dena were extremely kind and approachable. Absolutely recommend...
