This is the Heady-Topper 4-pack!

To the great delight of beer enthusiasts in Central Vermont, the owners of the Alchemist Pub & Brewery in Waterbury have opened a 15 barrel, small production brewery specializing in fresh, unfiltered India Pale Ale.

John and Jennifer Kimmich built a state-of-the-art canning line to package in 16-ounce cans their flagship Double IPA - Heady Topper. Canning allows to package, preserve and protect the beer against the impact of UV light and oxygen.

Eight years after opening the Alchemist, which became a big success, and ushered in a renaissance in the dining & nightlight scene in downtown Waterbury, the region was hit by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene on August 28 which caused tremendous flooding and lots of property damage in the Northeast.


Many homes and businesses along parts of Rt 100 and Rt 2 in Waterbury suffered severe flooding, which left behind a coating of mud and debris. Plans call for the Pub & Brewery to re-open sometime in the next 5 or 6 months, or more - who knows. But, in the meantime, we've got the Heady Topper in a can!

 

Be sure to read the instructions first, ("Drink this beer in a can"), or be adventurous and enjoy from a glass!
