Heady Topper Help

Be there tomorrow on my way to MRG

 

after christmas = good

before New Years Eve = bad

 

So much for the hoopla about Pliny being the most hard-to-get beer ... Yummy!

 

They recently tweeted about keeping the 1 case limit until they say so, Rejoice!

 

Hopefully they'll lift it when those new tanks are up and running.

 

I'm sure they will. They'll be doubling production

 

Yeah at least they are upping production to deal with increased demand.

 

Its brewed year round at 600 cases a week, Pliny is much harder to come across I would say.

 

When it is brewed, isn't Pliny available in all 3 left coast states and in limited quantities in Colorado and Philly/D.C. sometimes?

Heady is only available at the source or in the Stowe, Burlington, Mad River Valley areas...

...As for Pliny being much harder to come across, I would say that's a bit of a stretch...

EDIT: Now that I think about it, isn't Pliny brewed year round?

 

Heady is sold out... Just go to The Hill....it's simple, go where you are sure to bring home beer....incredible beer without any question whether you will be able to sample AND take it home....

 

I agree with DrinkingIPA though I have never had Heady. Have had some beer from The Hill and it was awesome.

 

Would somebody clarify what days the cannery actually has cans available for purchase, assuming you arrive early enough? And on days it's not available where is the best place to look in upper VT?

 

someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they can at the cannery on Mondays and Thursdays. different around Holidays.

Healthy Living in South Burlington gets a shipment Wednesdays around noon (lasts a few hours usually). Winooski Beverage gets it around the same time but they seem to use a waiting list now so very little available to the public.

The grocery in downtown Richmond also gets it on late Wed morning and lasts a few hours. Sometimes they hold some over for Thursday morning.

Translation - it's a PITA.

 

If you want to increase your chance of getting beer, call a week before going and find out exactly what days they will be canning and be there early that afternoon.

Now was that so hard?

P.S. I know this information is out of date for your question, but this question is normally asked on a weekly basis.
