    I know that backacre really only distributes in Southern Vermont. Just trying to get more details. Like What days are they distributed, and to what stores. If anyone could please help me out id appreciate any info


    Cheers

    I think their distro is pretty spotty. I don't think there's set days, just goes out when it can. I've found it at Manchester Discount Bev, but it sells out as soon as it gets there

    Or just go to Three Penny Taproom in Montpelier and drink one there, they always have it

    It typically drops at the start of the month - 4th or 5th - at brewfest beverage in Ludlow. Meditrina in Chester also usually has some.

    When are you coming up?

    I think they deliver to most places to start the month. Vermont Country store in Weston also gets it. Problem there is, at least in the past, they have no limits and people come and just get cases at a time. Brewfest at least puts limits at about 2 per person so it lasts longer.

    Follow manchesterdiscount on instagram, if you have a instagram account that is. They post everytime they get backacre in, and it seems to hit most other places the same day. I think the last batch made it as far north as hunger mountain co-op, which was 3-4 weeks ago i think.

    Have not seen it as high as 20 yet, but it has been creeping up there. Last couple of bottles I got were something like $18.50

    Thanks. I grabbed the last bottle at Meditrina on Sunday. They checked for more bottles but said that was it.

    Wanted to grab two to hold onto one along side with the extra release 4 bottles I have.

    I think it just dropped recently. My fiend scored 2 bottles over the weekend.

    I've stopped at Meulemans' on my way back from VT a couple times, and seem to get lucky with Backacre. Last time I went they had Cantillon Gueuze, which was a nice surprise for such a little store in the middle of nowhere

    I wish I lived closer to some of these southern VT deliveries, seems like an easy score if you time it right! Just glad a buddy of mine happened to stroll into one of the stores right after delivery!

    Meulmanns and Manchester Bev Depot both have FB pages and post what they have or are getting. Manchester sends out emails when they get something interesting- sign up.
