Magic Hat Brewing Company is a regional craft brewer based in South Burlington, Vermont, operating in the Food and Beverage Services industry. The company traces its origins to 1978, when Bob Johnson began brewing in a Goddard College bathtub, an episode that led to the creation of a brewery after an accidental encounter on a Burlington street. The South Burlington facility, opened in 1994, was part of the early Vermont craft beer scene, and the company has historically operated as a small, specialty producer focused on flavorful beers.

In the 2020s, ownership and production arrangements shifted, with assets sold to Zero Gravity Oy and production moved to Rochester, New York. In 2026 the company announced that it would close its Vermont offices and sell its Vermont brewery, effectively leaving the state. The organization has a history of collaboration with the Vermont Foodbank, including a 2017 partnership to provide meals for Vermonters in need.
