![]() You make good beer, but I’ll ask all my Stowe friends to avoid the place. I mean, what kind of crazy hostess power trip are we dealing with here?Īre there THAT MANY people lying about reservations to have a beer? Give me a break.Īfter she walked us over to a table she said “table reservations are for a strict 90 minutes- which we enforce”.Īt that point I’d had enough and we walked out, not a chance I’m ever drinking another Alchemist beer if that’s how customers are treated. I offered that we would show ID to prove who we are- at which point the hostess informed me that I was causing trouble by looking at her IPad. ![]() I have our name again.Īpparently she wasn’t happy I looked at her iPad and said “if the person who REALLY made that reservation shows up, they’re going to be upset!” Hostess was upset, put her hand over the list and asked again. I said “we have a reservation”- she asked for the name, I glanced at her IPad and said “it’s the top one”- and gave my wife’s name. When we walked in, we stopped at the hostess station. Please help us maximize our parking spaces.My wife made a reservation on a Wednesday afternoon. RV & trailer parking is allowed only after 4 PM. Parking on the street causes issues with our neighbors. Parking on Cottage Club Rd is prohibited. We have lots of educational information and educated staff. However, our viewing area is in the brewery, right next to our canning line. However, we have plans to create an outdoor area for sampling beer in the very near future.Ī:No. Q:May I drink beer outside on your beautiful lawn?Ī:Sorry, no. Q:How do I know what is available for sale each day?Ī: You may visit our website to see what is for sale each day and the 4-pack limit for each beer.Ī:Yes-we will have 2 ounce samples available for tasting. If we do run out of mixed cases later in the day, we will have plenty more Focal Banger to sell. We are starting out with a limit of 1 mixed case so that we can spread our beer out as much as possible, but still make it worth a trip for beer. Please help us keep our neighbors happy and our parking lot manageable by visiting us throughout the day.Ī: We hope not. If you visit us later in the day you should still have no problem leaving The Alchemist with beer. It is not necessary to line up prior to our opening at 11am each day. This causes an unnecessary line and traffic for the parking lot and creates trouble with The Alchemist's neighbors and the town. We hope that it becomes simpler for locals to buy a 4-pack at their local store.įull credit to who posted the above back in July. It is our belief that lines will diminish at these stores when our retail shop is open in Stowe. Our larger retail accounts will be pulled back more than smaller accounts. All bars, restaurants and stores that currently carry Heady Topper will continue to do so. We will pull back about 30% of our distribution so that we can have daily Heady Topper allocations in Stowe. All canned specialties will be sold at this price.Ī: We will continue to distribute Heady Topper (VT only) but not Focal Banger. Of course, 4-packs can be sold singly, but only up to 3 four-packs of Heady and specialty per person.Ī: 16 ounce cans are $12.50/4 pack or $75/case plus tax and deposit. When we open this summer we will start out with the following purchase limits per person: 1 case of Focal Banger and 1 mixed case of Heady Topper and current specialty (to be announced at opening). We also want to make sure our customers and beer enthusiasts can purchase enough beer so that the visit is worthwhile. We want to spread our beer out as much as possible. We are trying to accomplish 2 things with our daily allocations. Q: Will there be limits on beer purchases?Ī: Yes. We will not be promoting or ticketing any limited releases. When these beers are ready for sale, they will simply show up in our retail cooler. John will be bringing back many favorites from the pub days. Other beers will rotate throughout the year. Feel free to ask the staff for recommendations.Īlso, not listed in the guide above is Doc Ponds, for food and drink:Ī: We will sell sample glasses of beer to taste, merchandise and packaged beer to go.Ī: We will have 2 year round beers that are available every day for sale- Heady Topper and Focal Banger.
