Heady Topper in Philly?

Wait what? What did you just say? This is awesome. But you need to act fast. Like tomorrow fast.



This is what I know:

Heady Topper is awesome. Heady Topper was designed by Alchemist to showcase the complex flavors and aromas that hop flowers produce. This Double IPA is not intended to be the strongest or most bitter DIPA. It is brewed to give you wave after wave of hop flavor without any astringent bitterness. We brew Heady Topper with a proprietary blend of six hops – each imparting its own unique flavor and aroma. It is generally considered one of the best — if not the best — IPAs in the world.

Tomorrow (3/11), Philly is getting a special treat. Alchemist owner and brewer, John Kimmich, will be driving down 50 cases of Heady Topper.

Those 25 cases will be given to 5 bars.

Update: Those cases just reproduced. There will be 50 cases, which will be split equally among the 5 bars.



PTF knows 3 of the bars: City Tap House Logan, Strangelove’s, and Monk’s. I do not know the other 2 bars at this time. Do you?

Update: The other 2 bars are Bru and Good Dog.



I’m told that John Kimmich will be on a bar crawl and will be starting at City Tap House Logan.



Update: He will then go to Monk’s, then Good Dog, then Bru, and then Strangelove’s.



Cans should be available at City Tap House Logan at 5pm-ish and at Monk’s and Strangeloves by 6pm-ish, and Bru at 7pm-ish. I don’t have any specific info about Good Dog, but I would expect them to have them ready by 6pm-ish as well.

The cans will then be distributed to the 5 bars, iced down, and then should be ready for consumption between 5 and 6pm, but some bars are waiting for John Kimmich and crew to get to the bar before they distribute.



Cans will cost about $6 to $7 per can. You may not take out the cans; you must drink the beer at the bar.

When you see John Kimmich, please thank him for his generosity. This is very out of the ordinary for Alchemist so please show your appreciation, act like civilized adults, don’t slobber on him, and show Alchemist why we’re the best beer city in the county.
