I love backwoods bastard but theyā€™re both good beers. If you guys havenā€™t had Founders Black Rye I would give it a shot. They re-released it and itā€™s available at Wegmans (Where I bought it). tasty. Also, I agree with Woodchuck Private Reserve being the best hard anything ever. ---

Just returned from Stowe, Vermont where I had a ton load of Heady Topper and Switchback Ale. This HT beer is so crazy. You cannot even buy a 4 pack (limited 1/person) unless you arrived on delivery day to wait in lineā€¦ ā€œApparently,ā€ the guy at the local package store sold out in 1 hour to a line 250 strong. These site are pretty crazy tooā€¦ [http://www.headyspotter.com/](http://www.headyspotter.com/) ā€¦Anyway, we were able to have plenty at the Sunset Grille, down the road from our b&b. [http://www.sunsetgrillevt.com/](http://www.sunsetgrillevt.com/) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BEER!!! As for the Switchback, a case of 12 came home with me šŸ˜ƒ ---

Yeah the Heady craze is huge. Thereā€™s a handful of people in the Buffalo area who make runs to Vermont quite often, yes they are that nuts about beer. For me, I just sit back and throw them some cash, makes getting it here quite easy:) edit: and the selling-out-the-day-of is a very common occurrence. ---

I guess I will bite and try this beer from VT. Hope it isnā€™t another Stone which was good but I think was hyped a bit too much IMO. ---
