Heady Topper Double IPA Waterbury, Vermont
Alcohol 8%
Price $12 (4-pack of 16 oz.)
The brewery is located in Waterbury, VT just 20 minutes southeast of Burlington along I-89 and right next to the Ben & Jerry's factory. It is again a very nondescript building, but close to the highway. They sell growlers and 4-packs of cans. (Perhaps check their facebook ahead as they were out when we visited; they had just filled all of their Burlington area orders.)
This beer gains rave reviews from everyone we've met. And Beer Advocate has ranked it as the #3 beer in the world. Pretty impressive if you ask me. To me, the hoppy flavors dissolved into a fruity goodness, swirling around my mouth. It was a very different experience from other beers I've tasted. I also like this brewery's business model. This is the #1 beer their customers like, and so it is the ONLY beer that they brew. Simple, smart, and lucrative.
The BF describes this as "#1 beer that I've ever had... that's still in production". That's pretty good if you ask me...

The MV is calculated by dividing the FS by the price, giving a better analytic that takes into consideration price as well as overall taste
