You walk into Foam expecting IPAs and leave with a pet-nat — that's the move here. The wine list is tiny, but it's theirs: Foam makes their own wine under the Natural Hack label, and it shows up priced like they actually want you to drink it. This is not a brewery that bolted on a wine section to check a box.
Don't come looking for a Burgundy list or a Napa deep cut — that's not the point. Foam's wine program is hyper-focused on their own Natural Hack project, which leans into Vermont-grown Marquette grapes and local fruit like wild blueberries. The pétillant naturel is the anchor, available in both 500ml and 750ml formats, and the wild blueberry wine rounds out what is admittedly a very short list. It's narrow, it's local, and it's genuinely interesting — which puts it ahead of a lot of restaurants with thirty-bottle lists of nothing.
Glass pour options aren't clearly documented, and the wine program skews toward bottle and can formats — this is a place where you grab a bottle to share at a picnic table overlooking Lake Champlain. If by-the-glass pours exist, they're not the headline here. The 500ml format on the pet-nat is essentially a built-in single-sitting pour for two, which works.
Natural Hack 2022 Pétillant Naturel (Marquette) 750ml — $32
Fourteen percent above retail on a wine they make themselves is practically giving it away. A house-made, Vermont-grown sparkling wine at $32 is the kind of price that makes you order a second bottle without doing mental math first.
Foam Brewers 'A Visit To Me' Wild Blueberry Wine (NV) 500ml
Most people sleeping on this are thinking 'fruit wine = sweet and weird.' It's not. Made under the Natural Hack label with local wild blueberries, it's the kind of low-intervention experiment that natural wine bars in Brooklyn would charge $18 a glass for. At $24 a bottle it's a steal and a conversation starter.
Natural Hack 2022 PĂ©tillant Naturel (Marquette) 500ml
At $24 for 500ml versus $32 for the 750ml, the math doesn't work in your favor. Unless you're flying solo, just spring for the full bottle — you're paying proportionally more for less wine.
Natural Hack 2022 PĂ©tillant Naturel (Marquette) + Rotating Artisan Cheese Plate
A slightly funky, lightly sparkling red made from a cold-hardy Vermont grape cuts right through fatty aged cheese. The bubbles reset your palate between bites, and the earthy fruit in the Marquette plays nicely against anything with a washed rind. Classic.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Foam is a brewery first, but the wine program punches way above its weight class — it's small, local, and priced like they actually want you to drink it. If you're on Burlington's waterfront and want something interesting in your glass that isn't a hazy IPA, this is your spot.
