Telling stories through beer.
A craft brewery for adventurers and storytellers. Traditional technique, modern recipes, and a range of styles well beyond the usual — soon pouring from a new taproom at 3 Gill Street.
Founded in Burlington by a team led by James Sparks — Air Force veteran, former chef and restaurateur — Fable is built on a simple idea: bring people together to tell stories through beer.
I · Roots
Traditional technique
We brew on the fundamentals — patient process and respect for the craft, the way it's always been done well.
II · Craft
Modern recipes
Inventive flavors and a wide range of styles, reaching past the New England IPAs that have saturated the local scene.
III · Fellowship
A place for adventurers
The goal is an institution — a home for craft beer enthusiasts and storytellers alike.

Tales on Tap
The current chapters.
Tap a tale to unfurl its brews.
The Tavern Code
Around a core of staples — the favorites you keep coming back for — there's always one tale rotating. Here's the catch: we haven't picked the staples yet. You will. Every pour is a vote, and the beers that earn it stay on permanently. The rest turn the page.
Stapleearned by you — here to stayRotating talefeatured for a while, then a new chapter
Seven Dwarves
Seven hops, one for each dwarf — El Dorado, Amarillo, Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, Simcoe and Nelson Sauvin — dry-hopped a full seven days. Hazy and soft, it whistles with stone fruit and tropical citrus while it works.
NEIPA7% ABV · 27 IBU
Queen Grimhilde
The fairest stout of all — dark, regal and not to be trusted. A whisper of applewood-smoked malt curls through the roast, with English Fuggle and Kent Goldings keeping their composure. Beautiful, with a bite you won't see coming.
Smoked Stout5.9% ABV · 42 IBU
Poison Apple
One bite and you're under its spell. Pressed from locally-sourced apples, seasoned with cinnamon, then back-sweetened with black cherry and cranberry for a crimson, tart-sweet finish. Take it if you dare.
Hard Cider5.2% ABV · 0 IBU
Snow White
Pale as snow and twice as gentle. A Belgian-style wit on wheat and oats, brightened with sweet orange peel, elderflower, cinnamon and a whisper of clove. Fair, soft and quietly enchanting.
Witbier5% ABV · 9 IBU
Lil Red
The girl in the red hood — bright, brave and a little reckless. Caramel and toasted malt under a single-minded run of Centennial, fermented fast and warm. Ruby-amber, and ready for the woods.
Amber Ale5.7% ABV · 36 IBU
Big Bad Wolf
Not the villain — just hungry. A deep, toasty brown with Caramunich and Victory malt for backbone, then an unexpected bite of English Goldings, Fuggle and Willamette. Nutty, big and unapologetic — with teeth.
Brown Ale6.5% ABV · 54 IBU
The Woodcutter
The axe in the woods — dependable, sharp and right on time. A deep-red IPA loaded with Columbus, Chinook and real spruce tips: piney, resinous and built to clear a path.
Red IPA7.2% ABV · 44 IBU
Baby Bear
The little chair, the one that fits. A featherweight session bitter on Maris Otter and biscuit malt, brushed with East Kent Goldings and Fuggle — light on its feet but full of English character, soft and endlessly drinkable.
Ordinary Bitter3.4% ABV · 32 IBU

Goldilocks
Not too hot, not too cold — the one poured just right. A clean golden blonde, hopped with Simcoe and Amarillo for a soft lick of pine and citrus.
Blonde Ale5% ABV · 19 IBU
Photo coming soon
Rapunzel
Long, golden and let all the way down. A bright American IPA on pale and Pilsner malt with a little Carared and rye, stacked with Apollo and Cascade and dry-hopped with Amarillo.
American IPA6.4% ABV · 56 IBU
Photo coming soon
Prince Charming
Crisp, golden and easy to fall for. An all-Pilsner pale lager with noble Tettnang and Hallertauer, fermented clean and cold-tasting.
International Pale Lager5% ABV · 23 IBU
Photo coming soon
Mother Gothel
Dark, smooth and not to be trusted. A deceptively gentle dark lager — Pilsner deepened with Carafa and Munich under one quiet Hallertauer note, hiding its true color in plain sight.
International Dark Lager4.9% ABV · 13 IBU
Photo coming soon
Bed of Thorns
Soft to the eye, sharp to the touch. A Trappist single dried out with clear candi sugar, Saaz and Hallertau threading through bright Belgian spice and fruit.
Trappist Single6% ABV · 28 IBU
Ariel
A sudden pulse of citrus and light — lemon and lime peel spiraling up on a drift of lemongrass. Bone-dry and restless, with a flinty mineral snap; gone before you've admired the pour.
Seltzer4.5% ABV · 0 IBU
Miranda
The quiet at the center of the storm. A whisper of gentle citrus over soft botanicals, defined by what's missing — no bitterness, no sugar, no noise — a bone-dry reset for the palate.
Seltzer4.5% ABV · 0 IBU
Prospero
A study in precision, built like a gin and tonic stripped of its sugar. Juniper and coriander strike clean and bracing, finishing dry and structured as cold marble.
Seltzer4.5% ABV · 0 IBU
Caliban
This one sinks its teeth in — deep, earthy botanicals grounded in shadow and soil. A sharp strike of ginger cuts a dry, weighted finish: firm, dark and all grit, no glitter.
Seltzer4.5% ABV · 0 IBU
