Yet another fellow BA needs help with Vermont itinerary

Since Fiddlehead and Alchemist open at the same time, and this Saturday may be particularly crowded due to the festival in Burlington, it may be hard to hit both Fiddlehead and Alchemist. Fiddlehead is usually really quick in and out for can releases, so if you want to try for both, I would hit Fiddlehead first.
Last weekend there was plenty of SoS and Heady in Barre on Saturday. I stopped in a 9:45.

 

Are you talking about Beverage Baron? Per alchemist they get their delivery on monday and it lasted all week? Wow...

 

They have been selling on Saturday starting at 7am too. Check their facebook. I think they hold a portion for Saturday am. They have SoS for this purpose too. There was plenty in the cooler last Saturday when I stopped at 9:45.

From their page:

We will be selling 10 cases each of Heady Topper and Sip of Sunshine Saturday morning at 7am. Limit 2-4pks of each per customer!

 

Thanks!

 

By the looks of what's been going on lately, if you're not at Alchemist by early afternoon you'll probably end up empty-handed. Especially with the festival going on there will most definitely be a significant line before open. @jhavs is right, do Fiddlehead and get yourself some awesome VT beers. On the way to HF swing by Alchemist to see what the situation is (their website updates what is available pretty quickly). Stop by Lost Nation for some lunch on the way up to HF, the Gose is a classic and the food is awesome.

 

Additionally, I'm sure you could find some IP swap partners for your Fiddlehead brews to grab some Alchemist options.

 

Last years Fiddlehead release on Brewers Festival weekend sold out way early, lots of pissed off people. Fiddlehead is not the best at keeping people updated on Twitter either.
