The Alchemist Pub And Brewery

Sterk Wit, our Belgian-inspired double white releases today on draft AND cask at 3pm! ….might just be the best batch yet……

Pretty big announcement for everybody:

As you may know, for several years we’ve offered to our guests an in-house hot sauce.  Jeff has been working his recipes for both the mild and hot varieties and has been the only one making these sauces.

Well, the time has come to sell!

That’s right, starting immediately, you can own your own spicy piece of The Alchemist by buying one (or both!) of our currently two available hot sauces.

As with John’s hand-crafted beers though, they are only available at the restaurant.  Quality comes first, and as a first effort at selling food, Jeff, Jen and John want this to be just perfect.  If you’ve ever had them with your meal here before, it seems hard to disagree that they are!

We’ll be selling two varieties: a Green Jalapeno and a Red Habanero.  The flavor profiles for both is really rich and full, and while appropriately hot, do not depend on heat to impress you.

How about some ingredients:

• Organic Fresh and Dried Chilis (Jalapeno or Habanero)
• Distilled Vinegar
• Filtered Water
• Sea Salt
• White Sugar
• Fresh Garlic
• Corn Starch

Simple, well balanced and complete.

And just as important, we’d like to thank Jess Graham for the fabulous labels.

When you arrive, ask any of our staff and they will gladly accept $6.00 in exchange for a bottle.

We are delighted to announce a very special event that we are hosting.

On Saturday, April 3rd (2pm – 3pm), in conjunction with the Vermont Arts Council and its on-going Art of Action Program, we will be hosting a presentation entitled “The Art of Fermentation“.  The Arts Council’s description is very good:

Presentation on the history and art of fermentation, with The Alchemist’s Executive Chef Jeff Lang, Brewer John Kimmich, and Red Hen Bakery owner Randy George.  Samples of kombucha, kimchee, bread and beer.

The modest price of admission is 5 dollars, and the proceeds collected will go to Revitalizing Waterbury and The Waterbury-Duxbury Food Council.

Seating is limited to 30 people.

We are trying something new here as well.  To make purchasing a ticket as easy as possible, we will be using the PayPal system.  Please note that in clicking the button, you will be taken off our site to compete this transaction.

Thank you in advance for your interest in supporting local initiatives!

Todays cask is Heady Topper! As fresh as it gets…also released on draft. Get it while you can because it doesn’t last long.

Just a little inside info for those interested:

An aged keg of Uncle Daddy has been released from our vault. It’s not on the menu and is a delicious pumpkin ale…..
