i have a non craft beer drinking friend and his wife staying over in Burlington for couple days layover while on their way to Montreal. They're willing to pick me up some Vermont goodies but I don't want to make them go out of their way or stand in line at crack of dawn for any releases. Any recommendations on where they may be able to go to pick up some heady and sips without inconveniencing them too much? Any other suggestions of what other popular local brewery bottles/cans I can have them look out for while up there?
Basically, Only way to get heady or sip is to be at the store when or just after they drop. That being said city market and healthy living have scheduled drops , their will be lines. Almost forgot the Neveragewarehouse,they will have the longest lines easier to find: 14th star tribute, zero gravity conehead, crop Idletime, frost beer works, and foley brothers all very good
Austin. Austin, Massachusetts? Go to the alchemist website. They have the stores listed out by day. Same for Lawson's. There will be lines at the places mentioned above and Rt 7 Liquor. Other places, not so much.
If your friends are picking up any substantial amount of beer for you make sure they are aware that there are limits on the amount of alcohol you can bring into Canada. Also, might as well have them grab you some Dieu du Ciel in Montreal.
