The Burlington Story

Welcome to Burlington Hearth & Brewery where we work daily toward the apex of artisanal flatbread pizza and house-brewed beer.  Join us and celebrate Burlington’s local community ‘third place’, 7 days a week.Our story begins when partners, Paul Sayler and Rob Downey, began dreaming and planning for a pizza and beer restaurant shortly after they met in 1995. They then began the process of renovating what was the old Burlington landmark, Carbur’s, to open what would become American Flatbread Burlington Hearth. Their dream was to open American Flatbread restaurants in local communities and to use this venue to bring back the “third place” and the values that this represents. American Flatbread Burlington Hearth is a unique place that has been established and sustained by our local community. It is a place to “share our food.” Our goal since we opened in 2004, is to provide a superior experience consisting of clean, wholesome food grown by local farmers, and made by artisans that care about the food they create. We take the time to do this because we believe that “Food Remembers,” and “Good Food Helps.”

Below is a list of our current offerings.

Blessed Relief (Belgian-style Tripel) 9.8% – A very effervescent, dry Belgian-style strong ale. Light in color, big in flavor. Belgian yeast produces a complex and fruity aroma.

Barrel Thief (Imperial Stout) 10.3% – Big and bold. Aged in barrels and cellared for over 12 months to create a perfectly smooth offering.

Centennial Fields (West Coast Pils) 5.4%A crisp lager brewed with honey malt and a generous amount of Centennial hops. Refreshing, with notes of citrus, this beer is sure to knock it out of the park.

Cerveza (Mexican Style Pilsner) 4.5% – This Beer was brewed with pilsner malt and flaked maize. US grown hops give a subtle lime character.

Irish Stout (Irish Dry Stout) 4.4% – A classic Irish Dry Stout that showcases roasted malt and flaked barley. East Kent Goldings hops balance out the malt in the creamy ale with a light finish.

Riptide (New England IPA) 6.7% – Brewed with a generous amount of Mosaic, Idaho 7, Centennial, & Vic Secret hops. An abundance of tropical flavors, with overlapping notes of ripe citrus fruits & mango.

Yawl (Summer IPA) 5.6%A hazy, New England style IPA brewed with Maine-grown Blue Ox Yankee Pilsner malt & Simcoe, Comet, and Vic Secret hops.
