Vermont Beer

[Scarbutt]

The wife and I are traveling from Pennsylvania to Vermont leaving on June 20th and are hoping to secure a can or better yet a couple six packs of "Heady Topper Beer" from Alchemists Brewery in Waterbury Vermont.

I know the locals like to keep this beer to themselves but hopefully I will find a Beer Loving Forum member willing to help out a fellow FJR rider with this request .....it would be much appreciated. In return my hope is that we can have a couple beers together, talk motorcycles, traveling, life, and as a bonus you can see in person what an FJR looks like with 187,000 miles on it with the original valve shims. Not because they have never been checked but because they are still within factory specs....He Ha !

Come on Beer Drinkers.....Help Me Out !

Hey Scarbutt,

Don't go looking for Heady Topper at the brewery in Waterbury. The don't sell it there any more. Only available at select retailers now. I've bought it at a grocery store in Burlington (it comes in 4 packs, fyi) a couple times, don't remember the name, but I'll ask my daughter, she lives in Burlington. She usually brings me some for Father's Day. Good kid.

While you're up there try some of the Fiddlehead Brewing offerings. Their Mastermind double IPA is awesome. That brewery is in Shelburne, VT just south of Burlington on Rt 7. worth the trip, and great pizza next door. Yes, you can get fresh beer at fiddlehead and enjoy it with your pizza.

Found the store on Google Maps: Healthy Living on Dorset St, Burlington. Good beer selection and lots of interesting foods too.
