About The Alchemist Brewery

The Alchemist Brewery is a brewery in Stowe, Vermont, with a beer cafe, a beer garden and daily tours. Its website says the cafe is a nod to the original Waterbury-based brew pub. You can come in and drink a draft Heady Topper.

The beer archive on its website lists dozens of beers made over the years. They run from IPAs and imperial stouts to lagers, saisons and fruited sours. Heady Topper and Crusher are both listed as American double IPAs.

The beer garden is a large outdoor space with Adirondack chairs, picnic tables, an outdoor bar and cornhole. A covered patio adds shade and comfortable seating. Dogs are welcome outside only.

Warren's Kitchen food truck is on site Tuesday through Sunday, and live music and events run at the brewery. It is one of the most reviewed beer spots in Stowe on this site.
