    My Bro-in-law is throwing a huge Independence Day party in NJ, and I would LOVE to show up with some Heady Topper. It would add that perfect touch to the PPV Grateful Dead show we'll be watching :slight_smile:

    It's really hard for me to get up to VT (4hrs), let alone spend the day driving around from place to place looking for it. Is that pretty much what it takes these days? Especially a case or more? No such thing as "shooting up to Burlington and snagging a case" huh? If you have a secret method you've been dying to tell someone, PM me. I can keep a secret.

    why drive to Burlington when you can get it in Waterbury / Stowe area?

    Nope. Unless you get lucky, you've got to spend a big part of a day driving around.

    Seriously?

    Skip the heady. Fire up the bong and munch on some mushrooms

    As much as I love Heady, grab some 077XX from Carton and save yourself a drive.

    Totally doable. Pick a day. I'm too lazy to look myself right now, but I saw on HeadySpotter.com "for sale on ______ at _____ o'clock; Can buy a case." I went there that day and left with a case.

    Again, hardest part is the drive. But take it slowly, make a good playlist, and enjoy the scenery.

    Nice. Thanks guys. I think I'm going to take a day off during the week a week or so before the 4th and snag some.

    I think they sell cases at Hunger Mountain Co-Op in Montpelier on Thursdays. They also have SoS, Pieces of Eight, and the large bottle Lawson's.

    I went in January to Hunger Mountain Co-Op. Easy to score a case of Heady, plus a 4pk of Sip of Sunshine. But I was already up in Killington, so the hour drive was not bad at all. Thankful to have a family member who has a place up there!

    During the week, don't think you should have a problem at all. Just use HeadySpotter, as previously suggested.

    All you have to do is be at Hunger Mountain Coop about 8:45 on a Thursday and you should have no problem getting a case of Heady. Then head to Warren Store for Lawson's and hit the small stores in Waitsfield on the way back as they usually have a limited number of 4 packs of Heady left from Wednesday delivery.

    Any recommendations on how early I need to get to Winooski Beverage Warehouse for the 6pm release?
    Thanks!

    This is totally doable just be aware that the week before the 4th Heady will go real fast
