In the summer of 2006 Long Trail added a hefeweizen to its list of brews. During the 1990s it also brewed a Kölsch-style ale as a spring seasonal. It also participates in the tradition of brewing a "Sticke" Alt (from a dialect German word for secret) known as Long Trail Double Bag, though unlike the German originators of the style, Long Trail makes Double Bag available year-round.

Long Trail makes a number of different styles of beer, mostly English-style top-fermented ales, but its flagship beer is Long Trail Ale, a Düsseldorf-style altbier. In June 2022 it was acquired by Harpoon Brewery. It is the largest selling craft-brew in Vermont. Long Trail Ale, a German Altbier, is the company's flagship beer. Located on the banks of the Ottaquechee River in the heart of the Green Mountains, the Long Trail campus includes its brewing operations, visitor center, farmhouse pilot brewery and wastewater treatment facility. In 2006, Long Trail was acquired by its present owner, Fulham and Co., a Massachusetts-based private equity firm. Originally known as Mountain Brewers, the company changed its name to Long Trail Brewing Company shortly after their relocation to Bridgewater Corners, Vermont. Founded in 1989 by Andy Pherson in the basement of the Bridgewater Woolen Mill, the company relocated to its current brewing facility and visitor center in 1995. Long Trail Brewing Company is a regional brewery in Bridgewater Corners, Vermont, United States.
