THE ALCHEMIST, Stowe
What started as a husband-and-wife brew pub in Waterbury, Vermont, has become one of the most popular craft breweries of all time. The Alchemist was made famous by its Heady Topper, an American double IPA that brewer John Kimmich says is best fresh, cold and sipped from the can. The brewery also turns out beers that range from Farmer’s Daughter, a Belgian-style saison, to Luscious, a British Imperial Stout. The tasting room has been under renovation, but the beer garden is open Thursday-Sunday. There’s curbside pickup if you order ahead, and brewery tours can be reserved online.
