    Of course it is, while your there look for HF and Lawson's too. Nice drive, leaves are changing you can grab a brew in one of the local pubs. If I was two hours away I'd make it a once every 2-3 month trip. I could stretch a case two months without getting burned out.

    If you have to ask you might as well. If you don't you may always wonder what if. Arguing what is best is pointless but Heady is one of the best DIPAs I have had. I have driven further for less, I would make a two hour trip for Heady if I could.

    I would make that drive every time I ran out of HT.

    No beer is worth a 2 hour drive in my opinion. There are plenty of great beers out there.

    It's a great beer, but be sure to call the brewery before heading over to be sure there's some available. I've been in the area a few times and stopped at the brewery to find out that they've sold out for the day. Would be kinda crappy to drive 2 hours for no reason.

    It depends on what else is available within two hrs. I wouldn't do it, but I have stuff I like as much or more within 15 minutes.

    I've driven two hours to buy\drink beer nowhere near as good as Heady, so I'd say yes.

    Depends on how much of it you buy.

    Oh hell, who am I kidding. Yes.

    A two hour drive is nothing, unless it's solely for the beer. Make a weekend out of it. The area is spectacular for hiking, camping, skiing, or for touring breweries. Make a weekend out of it, and a two hour drive is a no-brainer. We go 2-3 times a year to the Stowe area to hike (will be there in 2 weeks)- 3+ hour drive that's worth every minute.

    although, since you said you are going tomorrow (Monday), it'll be hard to make a weekend out of it... in any event, it would be worth spending a couple days up there.

    check ahead of time...they tend to sell out fairly quickly, from what I hear

    no brainer. should probably just get a case while you're at it. you will be happy you did. looks like the route might take you in to Burlington which would make for a nice lunch stop/break. Waterbury has plenty of
    cool spots to grab a bite/brew too. great time
    of year for a little VT drive no matter what.

    This is the right idea. Get up early and drive, have lunch and load up the trunk with those silver cans, take a nice hike, then drive back. I can see doing this once a month!
