Happy Monday, everybody! This week, Ryan and Alex are trying two beers! Heady Topper and Focal Banger, both from The Alchemist. The Alchemist is a family run brewery specializing in fresh, unfiltered IPAs. John and Jen Kimmich originally opened The Alchemist as a 60 seat brew pub in the village of Waterbury in 2003. After eight years of success and growing popularity, they decided to open The Alchemist Cannery, a 15 barrel brewery and canning line built for the production of their flagship IPA, Heady Topper. Today, they move all their beer weekly in a concerted effort to provide the freshest, hoppiest packaged IPAs on the market. Heady Topper is brewed only in Waterbury, Vermont and is distributed throughout the state. Their Waterbury brewery is not open to the public, however, they distribute a portion of Heady Topper to their Stowe brewery and Visitor’s Center for retail sales and tasting. They opened the state of the art Stowe facility in 2016, designed to be as low impact as possible while providing them with enough space to serve their community and the growing number of beer tourists to Vermont. Their second year round beer, Focal Banger, is brewed in Stowe, as well as seasonal beers that rotate throughout the year. Heady Topper is a Double IPA with a proprietary blend of six hops – each imparting its own unique flavor and aroma. There’s just enough malt to give this beer some backbone, but not enough to take the hops away from the center stage. Focal Banger is an IPA with a crisp and clean British malt character, that utilizes Citra and Mosaic hops. This week on FDB - we invent Backstairs, learn how far a convict will go for Insta-fame, Alex discovers what lemurs are, and more!

As mayor of Denver and as a two-term governor, John Hickenlooper oversaw and managed a major period of sustained growth in Colorado. This month he announced he's running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. On Saturday he sat down at the Flynn Center in Burlington for a conversation with Jen Kimmich, the co-founder of The Alchemist brewery, about economic development, retail marijuana, the presidential race, and lots more.

Heady Heights: When John and Jen Kimmich founded the Alchemist Brewery, they had no idea that they would lose their entire brew pub to a hurricane and by taking risks and trusting their instincts would end up running arguably the most popular craft brewery in the country and the beer that has been christened “the best beer in the world”.

How do you introduce a modern legend? Simple answer: you don't.Today, we sit down with Jen Kimmich of The Alchemist to discuss how a small Vermont brewery took America by storm.https://alchemistbeer.com/https://twitter.com/alchemistbeer See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

John and Jen Kimmich are the owners of the Alchemist Brewery. Their most popular beer, Heady Topper, has become a sensation up and down the East Coast. It’s been called liquid gold, sacred beer and the greatest IPA people have ever tasted, and craft beer lovers today go to crazy lengths just to get their hands on a case of it. The thing that makes Heady Topper’s popularity even crazier, is that the beer is only sold within a 20-mile radius near Stow, Vermont.

If you produced what many view as the best beer in the world, with a 100% rating by Beer Advocate, you'd probably expect to be living a life of fame. But that's not the case for John and Jen Kimmich —founders of The Alchemist Brewery and the folks behind the world renowned Heady Topper. With the crazy demand for the highly rated double IPA, it'd be easy for the Kimmich's to find a few investors and triple the size of their 9,000-barrel, Waterbury, VT facility. But instead, they chose the unconventional route — staying small. They'd rather be in control of every decision and not have to answer to a board of directors, even if that means not living large. In this episode, host Mike O'Toole visits the Kimmich's at The Alchemist. They discuss why they “don't want to be gigantic for the sake of being gigantic” and why getting big is not the only way to make an impact. For the Alchemist, success is about making great beer, contributing to a growing craft beer movement, and building a company to last in their Vermont community.
