Will be in VT on Thursday 8/21. Planning on going to Beverage Warehouse. About what time would I need to be there for the 10 am Heady drop? Do they reduce limit down from a case if the line is long? Plan to head down to Warren Store after that for Lawson's and lunch. Sounds like from what I've read on the forum and their fb that I am likely ok to get some Lawson's if I head straight there from Winooski (obviously slightly dependent on what is out that week). If the limit is reduced at Beverage Warehouse, is there a spot that has 4 packs on Thursday morning or are most sold out?
U Save Beverage on Williston Road in South Burlington has some, as does Healthy Living (I believe), on Thursdays. Don't bother checking Trader Joe's or other grocery chains for it, Alchemist prefers local businesses and doesn't supply them (normally). U Save has a two 4pk limit and it goes fast, but I believe that HL has no limits. Most of South Burlington gets their HT delivery on Thursdays, but it goes quickly. HL will probably be your best bet. Too bad you're coming up on the 21st, because the last Second Fiddle/Hodad release until mid-October is this upcoming Thursday!
Thanks ... And do you think I would need to hit up South Burlington or if get to Beverage Warehouse at X(?) time, I should have a good chance at a case from the 10 AM drop?
Do not show up to the Warren Store after 10:30 and think that you will definitely get Lawsons. If you wait til after lunch, you might be lucky to get some.
Sip of Sunshine is changing things a bit, with a 3 limit, it was actually around till friday morning. Up untill a few weeks ago, you would be 100% correct.
Yeah, as I said in my original ... Obviously depends on what's available that day. From my perspective I'd rather get a case of Heady than 3 or 4 bottles of Lawson's. Obviously both is preferable. I am right thinking Beverage Warehouse early/first is the right move?
We hit up the beverage center a few weeks back at 945, and the line was already 50+. The first twenty or so people got cases then they did half cases till they ran out. They split their shipment for morning and afternoon.
Where are you coming from? Why not hit the Warren store first, then go up to the Burlington area (afternoon shipment)? Also, the Mad River area gets Heady on Tuesday, so you might find some still in stock. There should be some in Waterbury for sure.
Its crazy to hear how quickly warren store sells out now. I use to go right around noon no problem. Good to know however.
