This video documents that uncanny success and John Kimmich’s hearty appreciation for Cask’s pioneering gear. That system has focused on canning Focal Banger, the brewery’s highly revered and hazy double IPA, and other canned creations.Īlong the way, the brewery (a B-Corp with a big philanthropic heart) has done great things for its community and the taste buds of Vermont beer nuts and beer traders/seekers around the globe. In 2016 The Alchemist purchased a second Cask system (the ACS X2) for a second brewery (with a tasting room and event space) in Stowe, Vt. Today that ACS has filled nearly 20 million cans of the now legendary Heady Topper and a few other beers. The first Heady cans turned out to be especially vital: just two days after they began canning, the couple lost their original location to a devastating flood. Better still, the cans rolling off that ACS sported a novel request for consumers to drink the beer from the can. It still gives us goosebumps to talk about it.
