Yesterday we went with the Dunnebiers to Waterbury, Vermont to go to the most special brewery on earth, The Alchemist, where they brew one best.beer.on.earth called the Heady Topper. It is served in cans, it HAS to stay cold, and they can't keep that shit on the shelves because it is so delicious. We pulled up to the brewery, after Josh had steadfastly driven us an hour from campus, to read a big sign that said, "We're out of Heady Topper." It was a tragedy, but we went in and got a sample anyway and mulled around with a lot of other sullen-faced people. They've got kind of the perfect situation going on there because they've created this beer that they can't keep on the shelves and by not keeping it on the shelves, people want it even more. People show up and stand in line to wait for it to open on Monday, canning day.
We went back into Waterbury to have lunch at the Prohibition Pig where the rest of our party all had "the most delicious pulled pork on earth." We shared some fries that you dipped into different sauces, from BBQ to a delicious vinegary pepper kind. We checked out the art fair going on and then headed to Ben & Jerry's which is obviously the real happiest place on earth. Disney World can eat it. Honestly, I know you Minnesota 
peeps will understand why, in spite of the fact that it's not a couple of hippies running it anymore, there was no way in hell I was coming to Vermont, suffering through at least 3 weeks of constant rain, and was not going to Ben & Jerry's. Anyway, the world hates me because when we go our ice cream, they didn't have red velvet. Tragedy. I got their limited edition salted caramel which was good, but was not red velvet. Katie got some kind of candy bar ice cream that looked scrumptious. I did decide as soon as I walked into the factory that it is what heaven will smell like for me. Dear God.
After B&J we headed back to town with full bellies and sleepy eyes. It as a lovely, sunny, Vermont day.
