No, they don't. Nor can you buy their beer in stores. Best to let this one go.

 

Appreciate it. Was hoping to try some of their stuff while I was there - guess it wasn't meant to be.

 

Wow, these guys. I completely stopped following them. Weren't they supposed to open a tap room in February '19?

I remember they were selling overpriced growlers with the caveat that they would not allow people to purchase growlers for the first year, and only people who bought the growlers prior to open would be able to fill growlers in the tap room. I guess those people got the shaft.

I don't have anything nice to say about them, so i'll just bow out now. Good luck to anyone dealing with this place.

Oh wait, I did know the guys are both veterans, and I do appreciate their service to our country. I do thank them both for that! But that doesn't give them a pass from me for their poor business practices.

 

They are occasionally on tap at Enrico's in Sturbridge. Pretty close to Tree House especially if you are coming from the west. I know in the other thread you said you were mostly looking for can options but if you REALLY wanted to try it...
They also seem to be in between kegs right now but Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal is "coming soon" so depending on the timing of your trip...
Also I have eaten here a couple of times and the food is mediocre at best (used to be much better). I thought I would warn you. BT's Smokehouse is practically next door and has arguably the best bbq in the state.
Also Yankee Spirits Sturbridge liquor store has an insane collection of craft beer cans.
That is all... I think.

 

Hey - thanks for this - it's greatly appreciated.

Quick question on the Yankee Spirits, and in general, I'd imagine. Are there any places in MA in general (Boston preferably but also near TH since I'm going that way) that carry cans of any of the VT beers, or is that not something that's generally practiced up there? I know what I lived in Raleigh, certain bottle shops would road trip to breweries that didn't distribute to Raleigh within a few hours and just load up and then sell them and that was fine there. I know it's a different state with different rules, so not sure if that's practiced in MA or not. Like if I were looking for Focal Banger and Heady Topper, am I SOL unless I go into VT? Or can i find a rogue bottle shop in MA?

Thx.

 

Focal and Heady....SOL in MA. Burlington, Lawson's, Foley Bro's and maybe a few others should be around. Yankee, would likely have some of these also Julio's in Westborough.

 

I kinda figured - I tried to use untappd to "find" them in the area and it kept giving me the finger so I assumed that was the answer, but figured I'd ask those that would know better than I. Thank you for the info.

 

I see Burlington, Lawson's, 4 Quarters, Foley Bros, and Fiddlehead all very regularly at Bacon's in Hudson. Yankee and Julios would also have it. I buy quite a bit of Second Fiddle.

 

The Alchemist started distro throughout all of Vermont, may be able to find them in Barrington or another vermont/MA border town, still a bit of a ride, but not as bad as driving to stowe. Alchemist retail spots are listed on their website.

 

Yeah - if it was just me, I'd definitely do that. But probably not in the cards this go-around.

 

I recall from another thread that you’re staying in Boston and hitting up Trillium in Fort Point. For cans of the available Vermont brews, check out Fort Point Market on Congress Street a couple blocks away. They always have Burlington, Lawson’s, Four Quarters and many more and you can buy everything as singles if you want.

 

your going to Trill and TH just grab some extra and set up a trade if you want some Alchemist shouldn't be hard

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

Definitely an option - was just seeing if i could cut out the middle man.

 

No Alchemist at Yankee Spirits Sturbridge but I have seen...
Four Quarters
Fiddlehead
Foley
Burlington (Stainless Forest is there right now)
Lawson's
Frost (one time but they had like 4 options)

 

Yes indeed. Added it to the list on my phone. Also followed on Insta thanks to your link. Gracias.

 

Feast your eyes

 

That’s not a joke??

Disgusting.

 

This seems like a parody brewery tbh

 

The suggestion that they're bringing this beer back due to popular demand really makes this whole thing seem like some sort of gaslighting.
