Manchester Discount Beverages is ok. Meulmans Craft Drafts in Jamaica about 30 mins away is solid little store
Short answer is yes. More information is needed however depending on how your friend is arriving here and where are they coming from.
If he comes through Troy, Hoosick St Beverage is excellent and there are a couple of other stores in Albany that will be better then anything he finds in Southern Vt.
Make sure you tell your friend to go to Manchester Discount Beverage and ask for Rusty. Have them ask Rusty, "which shelf can I find Heady Topper cause I can't seem to find it?"...then have friend run for cover. There is plenty to choose from at Discount Beverage...unless they're going vermont whale hunting, it should fulfill most all needs.
Funny to see you posting on BA. Love your vids. I'm heading to Mount Snow this coming friday and cant head all the way up north... Did your friend do well on his trip, any tips for me?
Was just in Manchester visiting family for Thanksgiving. Rusty at Manchester Bev took good care of me on Black Friday. Mueleman's is closer to Mt. Snow, though.
Thanks for checking out my videos! Sorry, but he didn't end up finding time to check out any stores. Cheers!
