Do a quick search and be rewarded with a whole mess of threads dealing in this very topic.

 

Hunger Mountain Co Op at 9 am sharp was a very easy case for me a couple weeks ago.

 

Where in VT are you going to be? Or are you willing to driver wherever needed?

 

Drops every Tuesday noonish at Beverage Warehouse in Winooski, just north of Burlington. Watch for their FB post.

 

My post above left out that it was THURSDAY at 9 am sharp at HMC

 

Just FYI the Bevy changed their schedule a few months back. Now it is 10am & 6PM every Tuesday and Thursday. But you are right you can just check their FB as well.

 

I'm headed up to Burlington from Boston tomorrow evening, any last-minute tips for scoring a couple 4 packs tomorrow evening (which I know is a long shot!) ? thank you!

 

Is it unheard of for cases to linger into Friday at Hunger Co-op or Winooski Bevy? I may be able to pass through that area but it will be on a Friday.

 

Yep. The 10am drop is the previous deliveries second half (so Tues 10am is actually the second half of the previous Thurs drop). That way the Bevy can ensure a specific time. The old way meant waiting until whenever the truck showed up which varied between 11am and 2pm and meant those waiting could be waiting for hours.

 

I'd say your best would either be the 9am Hunger Mtn drop on Thursday before you head to HF, or to just hit up a few of the Stowe stores that get it on Friday. My understanding is most have a 2 four pack limit, so you should be able to get a case worths in 3 stops.

 

Just find out where it drops on Tuesdays, then wait it out there for the truck. You're already all the way up there so why not just wait it out ya know. You'll kick yourself in the ass if you don't get it.

 

Like others have said your best bet is Hunger mountain coop Thursday morning be there at 8:30 and you'll get a case of Heady

 

Echoing what everyone else said on this thread: Go to Hunger Mountain Coop on Thursday morning. Being there by 8:45 should guarantee you a case. Then you can hit up Montpelier Discount Beverage (either before or after - I believe it opens at 8) which is roughly a half mile from there for another four pack/person.

 

If you're in Stowe around 5ish, head one town north to Morristown and you may be able to find a couple four picks at Tomlinsons. You're going up at a good time where it doesn't stay long in shelves but at least it stays a little longer than say summer ....
