Heady Topper is the only beer made by the Alchemist Brewery in Waterbury, Vermont. The goal is a hoppy beer without bitterness, and it works. Beer Advocate rates it as the number 4 beer in the world and number 2 in its list of Beers of Fame.
Heady Topper is hard to acquire. Heidi somehow managed to obtain eight cans -- double the usual limit. Heidi likes people to cheer when she arrives.
