    I'm heading up to northern Vermont next month and was planning to stop by the Alchemist to stock up on some Heady Topper. Does anyone know if there are any can/case limits on purchases from their retail shop? Thanks!

    I have not seen any limits to how much you could buy but I could see them doing that. I know that on more then one occasion they ran out over the weekend.

    No limits that I know of. Perhaps if you wanted to walk off with the last 4 cases and the room was packed, but on a normal day you shouldn't have any problems. Last time I was in they had at least 10 cases in the cooler ready to go, and probably 4 more cases worth ready to sell as 4 packs.

    Pretty much what you're hearing... it's their call depending on circumstances. I imagine if you wanted 20 cases they would think you're going to resell it and might cut you off.

    I asked a friend who went to VT to stop in and pick me up a case. Whoever was working the counter at the Alchemist said "thank you for helping distribute our beer" Theyre obviously aware of what they have and seem to appreciate that they dont have to do the work of getting their beer out there. My guess is theyre happy to sell out (and who wouldnt?) so no limits (within reason, as mentioned above)

    They always seem to have more come Monday. I have left there with 6 cases without a problem.

    Excellent news, thank you! I don't plan to clean them out, but a few cases will do just fine.

    The limit is how much you can fit in your fucking car

    Do they take credit cards? Is there room to load up a 53ft trailer?

    If you pick me up and share, I can load a 53ft trailer pretty quick.

    Might be tight, but i bet you could fit a 53ft in that loading dock :wink:

    Then again, you might have to walk off with one or two of their tanks to fill the sucker

    It'd be real tight and I don't think they'd have 28 pallets laying around. Was their Wednesday seems like they use a box truck for deliveries.

    I'd have to do a pallet exchange and some gold bars for payment.

    Was at the cannery to get some at 11 this morning and met a fellow BA from NH. They were sold out, and the girl at the counter told us it was almost always the case on sundays, which kinda sucks. Finally found many cases in warren and in Montpelier. Still pretty strange IMO that they always run out, but that you can get some in many stores ???
