Founded on the battlefields of Afghanistan, where soldiers Steve Gagner and Matt Kehaya sketched out their brewery dream between missions, 14th Star opened its doors in 2012. Named after Vermont's status as the 14th state to enter the Union, we're veteran-built, Vermont-brewed, and committed to world-class craft beer - and to giving back. A portion of every sale supports veterans' causes, including the Josh Pallotta Fund for veteran wellness and suicide prevention, because for us, service never stops.
