![]() After purchasing a couple of must have Vermont flavors of maple and piney hops, we headed through the hobbit like door to hang out at the white-washed bar and sample a few local brews. They had an expansive amount of local beer both to drink on site (and in Stowe, as long as you open up your drink of choice on the street, you can wander the town, drink in hand) and buy to cherish around friends later. Always on the lookout for breweries, but none within Stowe proper, we opted for Stowe Public House and Bottle Shop instead. With work completed for the moment, we took off on foot to explore the town with its country shops, covered bridge, and venerable cemetery with headstones dated back to the early 1800’s. This little piece of metal now has a story of its own. Kind of ironic, since Oskar Blues is from Colorado. For only two bucks, we acquired an Oskar Blues Pinner beer tin sign. ![]() And we found a gem of a shopping deal here. Black Cap Coffee and Beer, nestled right across the street from the iconic spire of Stowe Community Church, offered a cozy spot to get a bit of work done as well as a little craft beer shopping. Parking in a little dirt pullout just past the bustle of small-town main street, we unstrapped our bikes and rode into town like the locals. Granted, they’re not that high to start with considering we are doing our best to live a Stout Life, but Stowe, will take away your cares and leave you with nothing but peace. Please help us maximize our parking spaces.Aaah, Stowe, Vermont. Just the mention of this quaint, postcard town, drops my stress levels to zero. Please do not visit in an RV, bus or pulling a trailer. 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.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.

These releases will not be announced or produced on any set schedule. John has begun pulling some favorite recipes from the pub, so you can expect almost anything to become available. In addition to these beers, we will be releasing small batch specialty beers randomly. Q: What beers will be available this summer?Ī: We will have mixed cases of Focal Banger, Heady Topper and Crusher available throughout the summer. Here are some answers to questions we anticipate: Thank you to everyone, from the bottom of our hearts. We are grateful for the expertise and support that Justin Bourgeois, of Community National Bank, has given us since the old pub days. To say we wouldn’t be here without them is an understatement. We also need to give a big shout out to our incredible contractor Sean Gyllenborg and our Project Manager, Mark D’Angelo. They have been incredibly competent and patient throughout this transition. Words cannot describe how proud we are of our amazing staff. It has been a long and interesting journey to get here.
