Fodor's Expert Review Alchemist Brewery

The brewery that launched a beer revolution in Vermont with its "Heady Topper" now welcomes guests to its shop and tasting room (known here as the Beer Cafe). Intense demand still keeps stocks of beer for sale limited. Tours ($25) of the brewery last about 30 minutes and include a commemorative tasting glass and a can of beer; it's best to reserve in advance.
