Reports of a possible tornado near Warren on up to Stowe.

Great..now they'll be flying cows around...

 

[kingslug]

Have to wonder where Stowe gets its weather info. Not that I'll complain if they get the foot wed/thurs they show coming.

[kingslug]

north and west. cancelled my reservation near cannon. made a new one in stowe. plan is jay friday, sugarbush saturday, killington or stratton sunday.

So glad the wife rented our place out...just...great.

Sporty ride up there Thursday..super early start Friday would be the plan...hmmm.

ya i was going to drive up late night thursday into friday, but i think getting as far as stowe after work thursday night is the safer play, so i got a cheap room at the stowe inn. have only passed thru stowe on 100 this season, haven't been up mountain road at all. will be nice to grab some beer at alchemist and dinner from doc pond. hill farmstead opens back up on the 7th.

Heady Topper...the best.
Driving to Jay in a storm would be ..less than fun.

 

[KustyTheKlown]

heady topper, not even close to the best, but was ahead of a trend.

Like the hill farmstead offerings better.

yea, hill farmsteads hazy NEIPAs are incredible, and most other brewers have really ran with the style in the past ~decade. topper was ahead of the curve for sure, but I've had many hazy new england IPAs that i think are better. other half here in nyc brews at least 10 id rather have than a heady.

i like getting/trying other things when i find myself at alchemist.

just checked their site. they are pretty limited right now. just heady, focal banger, luscious (imperial stout), and another 9% milk stout that i have not tried called knuckle dragger. i'd prob get 4 of those and a 4 of focal.

pro pig brews and cans some of their own good stuff now too.

too bad hill doesn't wake from hibernation til april 7. i always make a hill stop when i ski jay, except for this year. i was there in December, and my cellar is running thin.

Haven't tried much else from them...whats better?
Frost makes some good ones. I've stumbled out of Public House several times after sampling what they have. Great beer store and bar.

Blind Tiger Ale House NYC..I hear a can snap open...hmm I say is that a Heady Topper that just got opened....bartender looks at me...how the hell did you know that..shhh don't say anything...ok..i can be bribed. It was like gold around here years ago.

i like focal banger better than heady topper, but in general i like other breweries better than alchemist. i'm just gonna be in stowe this weekend, only reason i brought them up. for my money, hill farmstead, frost, foam, foley brothers (lots of Fs here) are doing better beer in vermont. treehouse and trilium in MA do NEIPAs better than heady toppers in my opinion, and other half in nyc is like the king of the style. they pretty much only produce hazy IPAs and imperial stouts and have some crazy number of varieties they have produced, prob well over 100 different beers.

I live literally 7 minutes from Treehouse and have never been

 

[kingslug]

I quit drinking for a year..then the minute I get to Vt I have a Sip o Sunshine in my hand... hard not to drink beer in VT..too many good ones.

they brew many great ones, but their Julius is one of the very best NEIPAs
