I love your comment about not making this beer "elevated" or, in my opinion, self-important. I feel that way about pretty much all beers. Lets just love beer for what it is.
Great points regarding the choice to package exclusively in a can. I'd like to see 12oz in 6 and 12 pack options at some point. Wider distribution range would be awesome too.. supply the demand!
FACTS.....Heady topper just dropped again by me in So Cal and I picked up several cans. There has been times when I have dozed off with half a can left....wake up 5 hours later and take a sip and I can confirm it still tastes as good as the first sip......Absolutely Phenomenal work, nothing will ever top this beer, has been my favorite for years!
I agree about the aging. I've brewed a few that are good right after bottling but the best is found over time. some I've had bottled for months, and it just seems to get smoother and better tasting, to me. Same thing with my coffee. a roaster pulls samples at certain times of the roast because the beans change over time and it may be a matter of minutes but you need to try it to get the perfect roast for the perfect bean. trial and error makes for some good drinking! thanks for the info
I love Heady Topper but it does not taste good even after a month. It loses all of the tropical fruit aromas and taste and basically taste like Columbus hops, like a really earthy ipa after that time.
I always want to know when the hoppy beers I drink were canned. Two days? Two weeks? Two months? What about once the beer sits in someone's fridge for awhile? There's never a good reason not to date cans.
Yeah…just did my first Alchemist trip yesterday…was blown away they didn't date their cans. Especially when they claim to care so much about freshness, etc. Bullshit
You want fresh beer...try Tree House.... and they don't advise you to drink out of the can... LOL... all I've ever tasted drinking from a can is aluminum. Tree House in a few years has some of the best beer found world wide.. not just NE.. if a beer tastes better from sitting in a can you've done something wrong... beer should always taste it's best the freshest it is... no matter who is making it.
There's no arguing the "pros" for canned beer. Personally, my only concern is unsafe chemicals in the can liner. I don't want BPA in my beer, or my food, so avoid cans. Until they're demonstrated as safe, it's glass for me. And kegs--I brew my own. I wouldn't turn one down, though! Proust!
So I guess the Alchemist glasses are to drink coors light out of or something? Oh and it's no sin to drink the dregs. I personally love the extra yeast and particulates. Never understood why bright beer is deemed the only way. I love the opaque amber.
Don't pour it in a glass because if you do you will oxygenate the beer. However, if you do... make sure you pour it vigorously to give it a good head (and oxidize it) :P lol
+rsteag The idea behind pouring it vigorously is to establish a healthy head on the beer. The heady-ness (pun intended!) will remain due to the proteins in those bubbles. The whole point of excellent head retention is to keep all those aromatics and flavor IN the beer and keep oxygen OUT. Just wanted to get this out there so people reading will understand the reason for what seemed contradictory by John. Cheers!
He did mention it offers a good nose in the glass. I suppose you could compare it to a speeding ticket... if you're going to be irresponsible, you might as well go all out!
I have had friends of mind complain about the sediment in Heady Topper and basically "not the get the hype". Not everyone is a beer nerd... Most people are used to drinking a filtered beers from cans and when they get some gunk from Heady are turned off.
This is a good lesson on how to pour a conditioned beer. Although, I'd say the decision on whether or not to swirl in the yeast cake hop particles and proteins would depend greatly on the style, and personal preference. It is nice to see a beautifully brewed and stored craft brew with one nice steady pour, and after a good chill in the fridge, but with most of my beers I pour them in one pour, straight off the top, and if poured fairly slow in one pour the entire sediment cake stays firmly on the bottom. It has to be disturbed pretty good for much of it to come off. .. especially after 28 days from canning. now newly conditioned, just carb at say a week after bottling/canning _ You're gettin' it in the beer regardless.. I bottle everything, and my fellow testers bring me back 'their' bottles.
Came home to visit family and had one by chance while eating breakfast at BTV waiting for my plane. Oh how i wish i could have brought some back with me to Cali.
I wonder if they use antioxidants in there beer, heady topper is out of control good and for a ipa holds well in the fridge thats why i wonder if they use antioxidants like smb or absorbic acid/ lodo brewing
A coworker brought me back a can from Vermont. He raved about it. I love IPA's and I thought I've had some of the best ones. Then I drank this......it's GOOOOOOD!
While I agree 100% with the points he makes I must say he neglects a huge reason for it I'm sure. ADVERTISING. If it's in a glass no one knows you're drinking Heady Topper. Brilliant point to push home with your beer to keep your label in peoples faces!
I just turned 21 last month and this summer I'm planning on taking a road trip up to Vermont to go get a case of this incredible sounding beer. When does this beer usually arrive in stores? I certainly don't wanna make the 3 and 1/2 hour drive and be unable to find it lol.
John - Thanks for the great, great beer. I am currently trying to make Heady Topper candy. Still in the R & D stages, but I am having fun trying. The trouble is I can't get the Heady to go flat! It just wants to stay LIVELY!
picked up two 4 packs after hearing about all the hype,... it is really amazing. I plan on grabbing some every time I go to VT! Amazing beer. Keep it up!
I don't understand the point about drinking straight from the can. By doing that you're not releasing the CO2, meaning you're going to fill your belly up with gas. It's the opposite of how a traditional bartender from Belgium, Czech Republic, etc. would tell you to drink beer. Beer is beautiful from a glass when it's correctly poured. It's also desirable to see how a beer *looks*!
@@Nathan-fd6tw not really illegal people trade and sell beer online all the time there’s even dedicated websites in the us that sell. I’m in USA and over 21
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Of course it can. No one is able to remove all oxygen from the beer before canning. And even when canning you introduce some. There will ALWAYS be some. And some are more than enough. Read up on physics, chemistry, and also you can read up about the DO of canned Heady Topper from Kimmich himself.
There is oxygen in the beer when canning. That is enough for oxidation to happen in the can. What The Alchemist are doing is trying to get that DO as low as possible, but you can never get it completely out.
I completely agree. My first thought when seeing the aged can pour was “that looks oxidized” and I’m sure it’s not the same drinking experience. I would be disappointed as hell if I poured a HT and it looked like that. He might still like the flavors it presents at that point but to me that’s got to be like drinking a different beer. You’re right on about dissolved oxygen when canning. There will always be some O2 pickup in the process and the beer WILL oxidize over time.
WOW! I just drank a Heady that my buddy hooked me up with from the can that is 3 days old. You guys make a great product. I sell packaging for a living and cans are the best bar none for IPAs. Thanks for making a great beer. CHEERS!!!! DJ
Hey, very late comment and not sure if your comment is still true to this day. But a trip to Portland and you will find Heady Topper and focal banger there.
Thanks for posting this. I'm curious - why do you feel the need to attach beer, cans, glassware, etc to any particular class of citizen? Seems unnecessary to me. I'd prefer beer be sent out into the world without that baggage.
Get real the real reason for cans is they are cheaper then glass. Beer carries the aluminum flavor when you drink beer that has been canned in my opinion. Im not a professional brewer but I know what Im tasting.
I love how people in the comments are arguing with the creator of the beer. HAHA. If the brewer creates a beer to be drunk at a certain time, in a certain way then that's just how it is... with any eatable creation it all comes down to the creators intentions. If they intend their Imperial IPA to be drunk out of a can at 10 weeks old then that's the best way to drink that beer. Everyone's pallets are different, and that's cool and all, but you cannot argue with the guy who created the beer and tell him he's drinking it wrong...
Yeah, but he is spouting some major BS. Oxidation of beer takes a long time. It's preposterous to say that it happens when you pour it into a glass, beer may be aerated but not oxidized. Also, there's no CO2 blanket in a can...a lot of homebrewers think because CO2 is heavier than air that it will stay on top of the beer. Nope, that's not how gas works. Source: I'm a pro brewer, won gold at WBC this year.
I know who you are, man... Jake, from Crooked Run. I live in LoCo too... Very small world! I've been brewing for years too, and while I agree with you, this guy's "source" is that he is also a pro brewer and creates one of the most sought after beers in the world... That pretty much trumps everyone else here no matter what is said. Even if it is bro-science. Haha. Whether he's bs'ing or not doesn't really matter in the end. People will always buy HT and drink it how they want to. I just don't see the point in bitching about it. This is a cheap youtube plug for his beer.
So when you're drinking from the can you're allowed to mix all the sedimented part at the bottom, but if you pour on a glass it's suddenly a refermented bottle? Makes no sense
Best DIPA ever. Thanks for not filtering and educating people on how to enjoy it. Too much of our culture in general is homogenized... To enjoy great, pure products we must learn to take a step back from convenience!
In the past month I went up there twice travel just about 1260 miles total. My question is when the hell are u coming to Jersey so I don't have to travel 330 miles each way. I love your beer man but I don't know how long my car can take this abuse.
+Skip Nasty People line up outside the brewery in Vermont and it sells out almost immediately. I live in New Hampshire right next to Vermont and I've never had this lol
it's just what happens with the 'extract'/wort over time, and yeast in suspension in young/green beers can play tricks too. It's also aging/natural-clarification.You can see a pretty extreme lovibond change in a beer from week 2-4 to say weeks 8-10... and the flavors really change quite a bit along the way. Unfiltered beer, conditioned beer, is a pretty neat, ever-changing animal. Contrary to what anyone might hear, MOst beers are better fresher... sometimes there's some sharper flavors in a super-green beer, than can be less harsh after it looses it's power, but some of the other great flavors may fade along the way... I say anything under 7% you should drink within a week or two of bottling if you have that luxury... some lighter ale's can be an exception, but fresher is better...
I love your comment about not making this beer "elevated" or, in my opinion, self-important. I feel that way about pretty much all beers. Lets just love beer for what it is.

Love the Alchemist products, the brewery, the vibe. Thanks for the great beer it's well worth the drive up from PA 3-4 times a year.
John, you're the best!
Hands down my all time favorite IPA. I'm in SoCal so it comes by a couple times a year. Phenomenal beer, greatest of all time.
Its funny how the color changes with time. Nice video! Hope I can get my hands on this beer someday.
FACTS.....Heady topper just dropped again by me in So Cal and I picked up several cans. There has been times when I have dozed off with half a can left....wake up 5 hours later and take a sip and I can confirm it still tastes as good as the first sip......Absolutely Phenomenal work, nothing will ever top this beer, has been my favorite for years!
yeah, i drove 400 miles to VT (first time to VT) just for your beer. It was worth it. And your brewery smells freaking amazing.
I agree about the aging. I've brewed a few that are good right after bottling but the best is found over time. some I've had bottled for months, and it just seems to get smoother and better tasting, to me.

I love Heady Topper but it does not taste good even after a month. It loses all of the tropical fruit aromas and taste and basically taste like Columbus hops, like a really earthy ipa after that time.
Why aren't the cans dated off the line? It's irritating as a consumer to not know the age of the beer so that we can judge it accordingly.
I always want to know when the hoppy beers I drink were canned. Two days? Two weeks? Two months? What about once the beer sits in someone's fridge for awhile? There's never a good reason not to date cans.
its a larger problem in the trading community than those buying straight off the shelves
Yeah…just did my first Alchemist trip yesterday…was blown away they didn't date their cans. Especially when they claim to care so much about freshness, etc. Bullshit
Can dates are nonsense
Pretty sure that's illegal.
Thanks for the great beer. It is well worth driving up from PA to visit VT and acquire the fine libations, food and incredible scenery.
You want fresh beer...try Tree House.... and they don't advise you to drink out of the can... LOL... all I've ever tasted drinking from a can is aluminum.

There's no arguing the "pros" for canned beer. Personally, my only concern is unsafe chemicals in the can liner. I don't want BPA in my beer, or my food, so avoid cans. Until they're demonstrated as safe, it's glass for me. And kegs--I brew my own. I wouldn't turn one down, though! Proust!
Canned beer is for bums. Period.
So I guess the Alchemist glasses are to drink coors light out of or something? Oh and it's no sin to drink the dregs. I personally love the extra yeast and particulates. Never understood why bright beer is deemed the only way. I love the opaque amber.

I actually prefer the particles in my beer. Is it advisable to shake up the can before opening like a cold brew coffee?

Vermont Beer! Hell Yeah! Only the Best!
Color of the "aged" heady seems really dark against the fresh of the line one? Oxidiation probably.
Unless the can is faulty, oxidation cannot occur in a can sir.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Of course it can. No one is able to remove all oxygen from the beer before canning. And even when canning you introduce some. There will ALWAYS be some. And some are more than enough. Read up on physics, chemistry, and also you can read up about the DO of canned Heady Topper from Kimmich himself.
John Abrahamsen there has to be an oxidizing agent AND reduction needs to occur. If the can is filled and sealed properly, reduction cannot occur.
