Mrs. Roadside samples the Honky Ale from the Alchemist, and favored it out of the ten styles on tap.

As the saying goes, "happy wife, happy life," so I always make sure I bring Mrs. Roadside to only the best brewpubs I can find. We discovered a great pub in downtown Waterbury, Vermont. The Alchemist features ten well-crafted brews on tap, and you can see here Mrs. Roadside savoring her favorite, the Honky Ale.

On this visit we took advantage of the more-than-reasonable sample offering — three ounces for a buck. The Alchemist serves up ten different ales, so for a cool ten spot, we shared thirty ounces of some of the best crafted ales around. Maybe you might not like a red ale, but if you do, this pub brews a nicely finished, well balanced version.
