Heady Topper - The Alchemist

Heady Topper, the elusive Vermont-brewed double IPA.

Consistently ranked among the best, and for good reason. A near-perfect balance of hops and smoothness. For an IPA, it’s incredibly drinkable.

But the real story is the scarcity. When I lived in Vermont (2013–2014), local stores would sell out the same day a shipment hit. If you knew when and where it was dropping, a 16oz can felt like a winning lottery ticket.

The only place I’ve found it outside of New England is from a cooler on Phish lot. Props to the dudes willing to transport hundreds of miles. 🤘⭕️🤘
