The Alchemist thread

[BadJustin]

I think it's just going out to the local bars.

Cases of Focal at the Village Market in Waitsfield over the weekend. No idea if it's a regular thing or what.


Also I had 4 cans of PM, all Band-aid phenols. Drain poured every one. YMMV, clearly.

edit:B1

 

[DCLA]

I had b1 & b2 of Petit Mutant recently and b1 had not improved at all. B2 tasted like cherry pie. Not a lot of funk/brett character to it. I don't think these beers were meant to age nor do they age well.

if any of you guys get focal i'd love you up with chicago goodies

On-site consumption only.

 

[jeblikesbeer]

Not exactly true, as I said a few posts back Village Grocery had stacks of it over the weekend.

Charity event per Jon who talked to store owner, he posted earlier in this thread. One time thing, AFAIK.

First place I've heard it was available retail. Cans in restaurants- Stowe, Waterbury, Burlington(idk), but no talk of it going to stores regularly.

Ya, it was a pallet each of Focal, Heady, and SoS donated is what I was told.

Correct.

Indeed, glad to hear you enjoyed the beers. Much appreciated, thanks!

Just had a can tonight at the Bench in Stowe...it's really good, much better than the truck sale cans in October, IMO.
Not being a dick, but I'd be happy to send some next summer when the new brewery opens up. Non-heady brews are tougher to come by as the truck sales are whenever they are and the last publicly available Focal was at their fundraiser at ECHO - with the last batch of PM. (with the exception of the stuff at Waitsfield market)

Crusher cans would be very welcome too. That **** is fuckinamouth.

<3 you!

Anyone know or have an inside tip on what The Alchemist is bringing to VBF this year? They are only pouring on Friday and I REALLY hope it's more than just HT.

If anyone finds out please pass along info.

Haven't they said to have permanently abandoned the truck-sale format?

 

[coldafpipes]

Maybe they're just switching formats away from the truck sale to things like the fundraiser.

 

[Senator Spaceman]

Yeah, I think they're going to be sticking with the lottery system for upcoming releases. At least until the new facility is open. Which is unfortunate because I used to love going to the truck sales.

 

[user 307594]

Yea, no. I was getting ******* loaded the last time I had ready access to Crusher tall boys. So good though.

 

[BravoDawg]

Anyone know when Alchemist stuff is released besides heady? I'm love to do a trade for some of the other stuff. I know outside of Heady their stuff is rare. Thanks for any knowledge!

There is nothing available for current retail sales. Focal Banger (cans) go directly to restaurants/bars only or other event/fundraiser stuff.
Sorry dude

*edit : so just heady for now
** read they are done doing truck sales
