I'd LOVE some more videos from you guys!!

John, you're the best!

Love the Alchemist products, the brewery, the vibe. Thanks for the great beer it's well worth the drive up from PA 3-4 times a year.

I love your comment about not making this beer "elevated" or, in my opinion, self-important. I feel that way about pretty much all beers. Lets just love beer for what it is.

Great points regarding the choice to package exclusively in a can. I'd like to see 12oz in 6 and 12 pack options at some point. Wider distribution range would be awesome too.. supply the demand!

Its funny how the color changes with time. Nice video! Hope I can get my hands on this beer someday.

Thanks for the great beer. It is well worth driving up from PA to visit VT and acquire the fine libations, food and incredible scenery.

this shit is gooooood. love focal banger too

I agree about the aging. I've brewed a few that are good right after bottling but the best is found over time. some I've had bottled for months, and it just seems to get smoother and better tasting, to me. Same thing with my coffee. a roaster pulls samples at certain times of the roast because the beans change over time and it may be a matter of minutes but you need to try it to get the perfect roast for the perfect bean. trial and error makes for some good drinking! thanks for the info

Currently drinking a Heady right now here in Arizona. Fantastic beer!

Hands down my all time favorite IPA. I'm in SoCal so it comes by a couple times a year. Phenomenal beer, greatest of all time.

Need this in MIAMI!!!

OMG...I cant wait to try this beer!

Great video. I finally have a friend in the area who is bringing me some Topper. I am stoked!!!

I love Double Mountain and Alchemist. Great beer!

Double Mountain Brewery!! Hood River representing! Great shirt and brewery

Cool, never heard of this brewery but will try and get my hands on a heady topper now.

Gotta make a trip up to Vermont.

John - Thanks for the great, great beer. I am currently trying to make Heady Topper candy. Still in the R & D stages, but I am having fun trying. The trouble is I can't get the Heady to go flat! It just wants to stay LIVELY!

Thank you for this lovely beer, only a bit hard to get in Belgium :)

WOW! I just drank a Heady that my buddy hooked me up with from the can that is 3 days old. You guys make a great product. I sell packaging for a living and cans are the best bar none for IPAs. Thanks for making a great beer. CHEERS!!!! DJ

Can't wait to try it. Save me some for Friday. ;)

This is a good lesson on how to pour a conditioned beer. Although, I'd say the decision on whether or not to swirl in the yeast cake hop particles and proteins would depend greatly on the style, and personal preference. It is nice to see a beautifully brewed and stored craft brew with one nice steady pour, and after a good chill in the fridge, but with most of my beers I pour them in one pour, straight off the top, and if poured fairly slow in one pour the entire sediment cake stays firmly on the bottom. It has to be disturbed pretty good for much of it to come off. .. especially after 28 days from canning. now newly conditioned, just carb at say a week after bottling/canning _ You're gettin' it in the beer regardless.. I bottle everything, and my fellow testers bring me back 'their' bottles.

picked up two 4 packs after hearing about all the hype,... it is really amazing. I plan on grabbing some every time I go to VT! Amazing beer. Keep it up!

You Da Man

Please get this to Oregon!!!!!!!!

yeah, i drove 400 miles to VT (first time to VT) just for your beer. It was worth it. And your brewery smells freaking amazing.

that was really interesting thx 🎉

A coworker brought me back a can from Vermont. He raved about it. I love IPA's and I thought I've had some of the best ones. Then I drank this......it's GOOOOOOD!

Came home to visit family and had one by chance while eating breakfast at BTV waiting for my plane. Oh how i wish i could have brought some back with me to Cali.

Gotta get me some Alchemist glasses...a lot easier to get my hands on than their beer.

I just turned 21 last month and this summer I'm planning on taking a road trip up to Vermont to go get a case of this incredible sounding beer. When does this beer usually arrive in stores? I certainly don't wanna make the 3 and 1/2 hour drive and be unable to find it lol.

In all seriousness, the greatest and most complete beer I've ever tasted. Thanks, John!

Mind blown! Did John say it's best at 10 weeks...I've never heard of anyone sitting on Heady Topper. Wow!

5:12 Look at the color difference! Is that from oxidation? Fantastic beer btw, Heady Topper is in my all time top 3.

I had a year old Heady, it was still very good

You want fresh beer...try Tree House.... and they don't advise you to drink out of the can... LOL... all I've ever tasted drinking from a can is aluminum. Tree House in a few years has some of the best beer found world wide.. not just NE.. if a beer tastes better from sitting in a can you've done something wrong... beer should always taste it's best the freshest it is... no matter who is making it.

Hands down the best beer on earth. case in my fridge right now and I'm in NYC! LOL Please one day distribute to the NE, we love HT and Alchemist!

Hitting the east coast this summer.. hoping to find a six pack to drink in the hotel while on my trip!

i need some of this

Vermont Beer! Hell Yeah! Only the Best!

Nice Oregon double mountian shit way to show Oregon beer some love. Now show us some more love by bringing us some heady!!!

I actually prefer the particles in my beer. Is it advisable to shake up the can before opening like a cold brew coffee?

I have had friends of mind complain about the sediment in Heady Topper and basically "not the get the hype". Not everyone is a beer nerd... Most people are used to drinking a filtered beers from cans and when they get some gunk from Heady are turned off.

hahahaha! as if beer sits in a glass for 20 minutes!

Made my second trip up there today. I love this beer. I'll be cracking one open on Oct. 31st when sober tober is over. Lol

This video made me wanna go camping for some reason

I wonder if they use antioxidants in there beer, heady topper is out of control good and for a ipa holds well in the fridge thats why i wonder if they use antioxidants like smb or absorbic acid/ lodo brewing

So I guess the Alchemist glasses are to drink coors light out of or something? Oh and it's no sin to drink the dregs. I personally love the extra yeast and particulates. Never understood why bright beer is deemed the only way. I love the opaque amber.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! BRING IT TO PASADENA!!!!

Why aren't the cans dated off the line? It's irritating as a consumer to not know the age of the beer so that we can judge it accordingly.

My only question: when's Heady Topper coming to Michigan?!

Got friends in California wanting Heady Topper - please ship there.

I need to try this beer. Can i please have this beer shipped to me?

I would love to try this but live in washington :(

I love Heady Topper but it does not taste good even after a month. It loses all of the tropical fruit aromas and taste and basically taste like Columbus hops, like a really earthy ipa after that time.

from wisconsin wish i could get my hands on a 4 pac

Down here in Miami is M.I.A. We need this A.S.A.P.

Not a fan of the HT, but man I love Luscious!!

Can I get that can so I can harvest the yeast?

There's no arguing the "pros" for canned beer. Personally, my only concern is unsafe chemicals in the can liner. I don't want BPA in my beer, or my food, so avoid cans. Until they're demonstrated as safe, it's glass for me. And kegs--I brew my own. I wouldn't turn one down, though! Proust!

i drank some out of the can and some out of the glass, neither took 20 minutes.

You could put that stuff in a marathoner's shoe and I'd still think it was the most amazing nectar on Earth.

Very cool. Now if I could just get some in Ohio........

How the HELL do you make a can of HT last more than 20 or even 10 mins? It simply cannot be done.

Did you ever check Aluminum contamination in beers ?

FACTS.....Heady topper just dropped again by me in So Cal and I picked up several cans. There has been times when I have dozed off with half a can left....wake up 5 hours later and take a sip and I can confirm it still tastes as good as the first sip......Absolutely Phenomenal work, nothing will ever top this beer, has been my favorite for years!

this is what started the ne ipas and cans.

yay. Double Mountain

Please keep your distribution small. I want an excuse to take a road trip to Vermont from California ;)

I just need to send my bank cards to their address lol

killer video. i like swimming holes. great beard.

Please, please, pleeaasse bring to Michigan. You say this beer is for the common working man and we have a lot of them here :-)

now bring it to california!

Yes age it in aluminum

i have a new hero

Aging an ipa for 8 months? No thanks

bring this brew to Michigan!

The DO must be insanely low for that kind of shelf life. Impressive.

Thanks for posting this. I'm curious - why do you feel the need to attach beer, cans, glassware, etc to any particular class of citizen? Seems unnecessary to me. I'd prefer beer be sent out into the world without that baggage.

My question: What are you going to do when the Patriots have 7 Rings and you have only 6?

I'm sure these guys won't fess up to the hop brands and content, but I know a dry-hopped beer when I taste them. :)

I don't understand the point about drinking straight from the can. By doing that you're not releasing the CO2, meaning you're going to fill your belly up with gas. It's the opposite of how a traditional bartender from Belgium, Czech Republic, etc. would tell you to drink beer. Beer is beautiful from a glass when it's correctly poured. It's also desirable to see how a beer *looks*!

While I agree 100% with the points he makes I must say he neglects a huge reason for it I'm sure. ADVERTISING. If it's in a glass no one knows you're drinking Heady Topper. Brilliant point to push home with your beer to keep your label in peoples faces!

Shout out to Double Mountain with the shirt!

Color of the "aged" heady seems really dark against the fresh of the line one? Oxidiation probably.

and now the $64,000 dollar question: why don't you distribute to the great state of California?????????

I've never had this or Pliny, I kind of feel like a idiot.

I prefer beer out of cans.

American people how much is a four pack of alchemist is it expensive?

Moonraker YOJO

So when you're drinking from the can you're allowed to mix all the sedimented part at the bottom, but if you pour on a glass it's suddenly a refermented bottle? Makes no sense

In the past month I went up there twice travel just about 1260 miles total. My question is when the hell are u coming to Jersey so I don't have to travel 330 miles each way. I love your beer man but I don't know how long my car can take this abuse.

It will never sit for 20 minutes:)

Don't pour it in a glass because if you do you will oxygenate the beer. However, if you do... make sure you pour it vigorously to give it a good head (and oxidize it) :P lol

Huh? Drinking beer out of a can is about as convenient as it gets.

sounds a little too complicated for me

Best DIPA ever. Thanks for not filtering and educating people on how to enjoy it. Too much of our culture in general is homogenized... To enjoy great, pure products we must learn to take a step back from convenience!

I wonder why the color darkens with age?

Ohio please
