I’m currently in Stowe and I’m leaving tomorrow. I’ve been drinking Hill Farmstead Harlan for the most part but I’ve loved all the IPA’s I have tried (Foam, Upper Pass, etc.). I want to take home a few 4 packs or cases back to MA. What should it pick up? Preferably nothing I can get easily back at Mass and only IPA/DIPA’s
Thanks in advance and I love your state!
Fiddlehead for a strong IPA. But actually these days the best ones seem to be available as far down as NYC-- I was shocked when a friend sent me a picture of Sip of Sunshine in a upper west side bodega.
Went there earlier and it was mobbed. Might try to swing back tomorrow if it’s a little quieter. Thank you!
Stop at the beer cellar in Waterbury. They'll give you lots of fun suggestions, very knowledgeable folks.
In Stowe, then stop by The Alchemist, and get Heady Topper from the brewery.
Love it! Thank you
Thank you! Any suggestions of which ones to get?
Definitely try again! There’s a line for a reason.
Stop at edelweiss deli on mountain road and get one of everything out of the beer case. They definitely have heady topper there in case the alchemist is too mobbed.
Both great but also readily available in fresh 12 packs all over MA.
I’ve heard great things
Try to get some Von Trapp I haven't seen any in Mass and it's pretty good.
Switchback make some very nice IPSs. Octane Cat and El Dorado Cat if you can find them. Zaboo is lighter but very flavorful
Vermonter here living in Buffalo… they have Sip of Sunshine in most grocery and beer stores… GREAT SUCCESS
The Alchemist. Heady Topper and Focal Banger
Go to the Craft Beer Cellar in Waterbury, look for IPAs from Foam, Four Quarters or River Roost.

Meh, the alchemist isn't what it used to be. Here is your list.
Any Ipa from Ten Bends brewery.... Zero gravity usually has good brewery only IPA's..... Bent Hill is putting out some awesome stuff...... Freak Folk bier in Waterbury is new, limited run stuff.....
Distribution has gotten far better over the years but good chance the stuff I listed will be harder to find outside VT.
It’s quite plentiful in MA these days
I was at the brewery when it opened yesterday. They have some fantastic beers. I do love a good German style beer
Bent hill brewery is closed this week FYI so you don’t waste a trip
I hate IPAs but I’d drink a Conehead anytime.
stick season vacations are starting

Luckily you can get bent hill at stowe public house
Yea the guys here are super knowledgeable. They recommend a beer from Wunderkammer that was just what I was looking for.
Went today and got some from all the ones you mentioned. What a store and the staff are incredible!
