    So I'm heading up to Vermont this weekend and I wondered where I can find....

    I'm kidding! I am going, but know where to go or would use search if I didn't. I hope you all find beer nirvana this Memorial Day weekend and forgive my attempt at humor.

    I heard you can get some beer called double sunshine in VT? Can you grab me a 6 pack?

    I'm headed to Vermont this weekend also. Just wanted to check in and make sure there wasn't going to be any beer left when I get there.

    I'm going to Vermont too! Bringing up some Trillium to a local for some Heady/Focal since I assumed it would be sold out come Saturday afternoon. Are you lying about the deliveries on Monday? If they do drops then that'd be great.

    Focal Banger is on premise/resturaunt only. Heady will be delivered on Monday unless the world comes to an end on Sunday.

    So here is a legit question, where around Mad River or along Rt100 can I get Sip of Sunshine? I know I missed the Thursday Warren store delivery of other Lawson's stuff. I might make a run to the Warren store Saturday morning anyway. And will likely stop at Folely Bros. Also, what's the new Brewery in Killinton?

    Roaring Brook Brewing:

    I haven't seen it around here in southern VT...but maybe on your way up you can find it in Rutland (since it sounds like you're going through Brandon). Check in with Terrel St. Bev in Rutland.

    Hmm that's weird. Then how did the guy who I'm trading with get Focal to trade with me? I'm pretty sure they've been sending it to stores as well unless he smuggled unopened cans that he bought at restaurants. I'll see what he says.

    Won't be in Rutland. Brandon is a quick shot over 73 from our place in Rochester (especially Foley Bros, which is just over the mountain). But I will look for Roaring Brook. We may go to Cal Coolidges, so will go by Killington.

    There was a lottery for tickets to a release party a couple months ago that included half a case of Focal. Unaware of any other way to get it retail, though I guess it's possible somebody's connected or slipping some out of a restaurant account.

    I ended up with some good stuff. Citrennial and Pieces of Eight from Foley Brothers, Second Fiddle four pack (excellent) and 14th Star Tribute cans, which were everywhere (all their beers). I also landed Sip of Sunshine and Lawson's super session #2 on tap at Doc's Tavern in Rochester. Best of all was discovering JD's Beer Cave in Hancock. Nice selection and a growler filling station with good local offerings from Zero Gravity, Lost Nation and others.

    There was a charity can sale in Waitsfield May 2nd at Village Grocery, not very well advertised, and I honestly don't think they knew they were getting Focal till it showed up.

    Any idea if Pieces of Eight is still available at the brewery?
