They flubbed it. They built it two years too early and didn't leave much room to change it. That era was all about people waiting in line for cans. Since then Trillium opened Canton, and gave out similar little pours. They recognized that mistake fairly quickly and now do a robust draft business. Treehouse built a massive new brewery that was all about cans. They also underwent major renovations and now do a pretty massive draft business. It's spectacular. Lawson's sat back and watched all that and they absolutely nailed it the first time. A cozy Vermont tap room with everything you could want in all seasons, plus an adjoining space focused on can delivery. They can open the can space earlier, and seal off the taproom, then move the wall when the taproom opens.

I'm disappointed that Jon Kimmich hasn't felt the need to update the Alchemist. After all, they started as a pub selling their own beer on draft long before they canned anything. I also have to say that other than Heady Topper and Focal Banger, many of the beers are not impressive (The red ale is excellent).

Donovan’s Red is supreme. I’m going to a Halloween party tomorrow and I want my heady but I really don’t feel like sharing.
 
Not sure I want to try this particular brew but you've got to be impressed by the guy who unintentionally brewed beer in his stomach and got pulled over for drunk driving.

Seems like this should be a no-brainer for our cash-strapped state university. Lots of great marketing opportunities. UConn Gold? Husky Hops? Yellow Snow?

Beer, Here: Merchandising of College Sports Leads to Team-Branded Ales (Published 2019)

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette and more than 20 universities license their own brands of beer. Those deals seem like no-brainers, but they come as the N.C.A.A. grapples with letting athletes strike their own.

Montana has Moose Drool. We can have Dog Piss.
 
I had a tart ale at Homefield Kitchen and Brewery in Sturbridge that was exceptional. I bought a 32 ounce Mason jar to go. Yum.

In summary, I need to travel more, Bend Oregon and a few other places to visit.
 
Trillium's "Tiles" series are really, really good. I just have one can of Citra Cutting Tiles left, which might be my favorite though I think I've only tried, Mosaic cutting Tiles. Unfortunately I missed the limited release of Luxurious Tiles.
Hope to pick up latest - Galaxy Cutting Tiles tonight.
Begs the question: What are peoples favorite hop? Nightshift has a one-hop series that affords the opportunity to taste each one.

Galaxy Cutting Tiles is fantastic...had it back in April. I think Galaxy might be my favorite hop although it's tough to choose with each offering unique flavors. BBBright with Galaxy by Treehouse is another great showcase of the hop

I've had all of them except Galaxy and Vic Secret. Citra, Mosaic, El Dorado, Nelson Sauvin and the regular one (which says they used Mosaic so not sure how it's different than Mosaic Cutting Tiles).

Going up to game today with my boys. Haven’t been to UConn in years. Sorry if this question has been asked before , but do they sell beer at gampel ?
 
Nope. I suggest that you visit the alumni pre game facility before you head in.

I remember my first (and only to date) Heady Topper. We were visiting in-laws in VT years ago and the husband was very proud that he snagged a couple for his guests. I knew it was hot at the time and it took some effort to procure it. I felt bad I didn't care for it. In my defense, the one beer in question was closer to lukewarm than cold and I hadn't made the IPA leap at the time.

Anyway, we just got home from the same trip today and like I said in a previous post, a condition of the trip was a stop at The Alchemist on the way home. I'm now on my 3rd Heady Topper after that Florida win. I love Heady Topper.
 
But I have to admit, I'm not that thrilled about Triple Sunshine. It's a bit too strong for me. Hobbit Juice from Beer'd is my favorite very strong beer to date. Love Double Sunshine.

I was
up in Rutland area for Thanksgiving. Left yesterday morning. As we were going through Ludlow stopped in a craft beer store. They have always had a decent selection but have never seen Heady down this far south. Just as a was walking in they were wheeling in the Heady and Focal. So was able to pickup 2 four packs of each.

Brother was in from Danbury for T-Day. He brought a few beers from Stony Creek, which I guess you guys generally dislike since I did a search for them on this thread. Never had any of their offerings. I just opened my first, a Ruffled Feathers. I don't know what it retails for, but it's certainly decent to good at a minimum and may grow on me. It hit their can tasting notes of mango, citrus and stone fruit (mostly pear/apricot IMO).

I don't care for the Cranky's. But it only takes one good one to turn things around (see #No Filter).
 
Everything I have had from Bridgeport's Aspetuck Brew Lab (Black Rock) has been great.
