    I know this is probably a long shot, but does anyone know if this can be found in our around Philadelphia right now?

    Don't think you'll find any. What little came here was a trial balloon of sorts and is long gone.

    You cant right now, Heady Topper was distributed to Philly maybe about a 1/2 year ago and was gobbled up rather quickly. It was distributed through Origlio, who does not sell to the public, just accounts. Hopefully in the future Alchemist will send some more down because I enjoyed it ALOT.

    Heady was never sent to New Jersey or Delaware.

    considering the cannery itself has been limiting it to one case per person, it might be a while before they can send more to Boston/NYC/Philly.

    this was the last update regarding their expansion:

    http://www.alchemistbeer.com/hoppy-holidays/

    "As of right now, we hope to bump up capacity in early January, and that would give us more beer in cans 28 days later. We can’t be any more specific than that because we still have all kinds of work to get done. I can assure you that we will first get as much Heady Topper as we can to the loyal residents of Vermont. When we have taken care of our people, we will then focus on getting it to the Boston market.

    they changed the limit about two weeks ago due to the holidays I believe. From what I understand they are still not having a hard time selling out quickly. They say the limit is for the time being, it may change if things cool down...hopefully.

    It came to Philly twice; once in April and again late June. Both times most places got only one case, two at most.
