    Hey guys,

    So I'm originally from down South, but I'm in Boston for the summer. I'm trying to take advantage of being in such close proximity to so many amazing breweries up here, and naturally, Heady Topper is on my list. The Alchemist posts their distribution locations and days on their website, but they're all weekdays and I work from 7-4 every weekday. The only day I could get up to that part of Vermont is on a Saturday or Sunday. Is there any chance that any of those locations (most likely the ones that receive shipments on Thursday or Friday) have any left over on Saturday? Any info on where to be and when to be there would be great.

    Pretty tough on the weekend, unfortunately. Particularly during the summer. Craft Beer Cellar in Waterbury has it Friday night / Saturday morning sometimes. If you're here for the summer, maybe try to set up a trade with someone who lives in Vermont?

    The above only applies if you're looking for cans to take home. If you just want to drink it, it's everywhere in their distribution area in Vermont. Go spend a weekend in Waterbury or Burlington and enjoy all the brews; whatever you bring home is a bonus!

    Beverage warehouse does a Heady release at 10:00 am on Saturday. Not sure it will happen on the 4th or not but every other Saturday at 10:00

    Thanks for the reply! I was going to make a whole day out of it and spend time in Waterbury just trying as many different beers as possible. I'll try my best to get up there early and see if I can snag some to take back.

    Most of the Heady deliveries this week were crushed by all of the "visitors" to our fair state, good luck, cause there are a buttload of people with the same plan you have.

    Do like I did last November, call in sick one day. Of course you need to maintain radio silence on social media if any of your co-workers are also friends

    Being summer heady flies of the shelf, I would not drive up here expecting to find some late Friday or sat. Step 1 go to trillium and get some bottles( anything hoppy) step 2) Set up an in person trade in Waterbury or trade via shipment. Trillium should trade $4$ for heady, pm me if u want
