Does anyone have any info about Backacre availability - is it sitting on shelves in VT? How many bottles could I get if I drove up to their listed retailers this weekend, for example? Any details about batch bottle counts would be great as well.
I always call first to make sure they have it in stock, as it goes quickly when available. The only stores I've ever got it from (Brewfest beverage and Meditrina) have limits, can't remember exactly what they were. But I think it was 2-3 per person.
I think they only distribute to a handful of stores and the bottles go very fast, so you should really call ahead first. The distro is very limited to near Weston (probably 10-20 miles at most).
Brewfest Beverage is where I got mine on a Sunday afternoon. There were a small handful left with a limit of 2 pp.
Thanks for the replies. I called a few stores and got basically the same story - seems like it comes in once a month or so, maybe a few cases per store, and it goes quickly with a bottle limit per customer. Not something very convenient for someone that was thinking about a drive up from MA.
Got mine at Hunger Mountain a few weeks ago just as the shipment came in. According to the beer guy who handed it to us, they receive a small shipment (2 - 3 cases) once a month. Limit was 1 pp at the time, as there was a line about 120 deep waiting for Lawson's/Heady.
