Heady Topper is an excellent beer, but anyone coming to northern Vermont should also look for Hill Farmstead Edward on tap. Shaun Hill may be our best brewer. Lawson's Finest Ales are also very good, as are many beers from Lost Nation in Morrisville and Trapp's in Stowe.
Sadly, these beers don't ship so you'll have to come visit to try them. Or invite me over and I'll bring a few along. Mike came very close to a Heady Topper last spring.
If you're able to come in September for the autumn color, you also have this to look forward to:
