    Headed to DC for the weekend and plan to hit two bottle shops that took care of me last year while in town. Does DuClaw have any Retribution or Oak Black Jack sitting on shelves right now? Looking for anything BA that doesnt get to IL. I'll be hitting up Chevy Chase and then staying near U-street by Bens Chili. Any info or bottle shops worth stopping at would be appreciated. thanks in advance east coast BA's!

    I haven't seen any Retribution, Black Jack, or BBA X-1 in a while on store shelves. It's probably almost about that time though. On the other hand, I might have a bottle or two poking around in my aging closet.

    Also, Alewerks Bourbon Porter is around, mostly at NoVA spots though.

    It has in the past shown up, but I havent seen Pretty Things beers in DC for many months.

    On the barrel beers you might find on the shelf, the only thing I've seen around lately ironicaly are barrel aged porters. Williamsburg Alewerks and Caldera's Mogli respectively.

    Flying Dog BA Gonzo on the shelf at P St. Whole Foods today. One of my favorites.

    Bourbon Barrel BORIS is around at WF/TW... one of my favorite BBA beers out there.

    Kind of a vague OP, but there's tons of stuff available in DC, incredibly liberal import/tax situation.

    Thanks for all the feedback. Just looking for anything I may not be able to get in the Midwest, especially the duclaw stuff like black jack and retribution.

    I think there might be some Weyerbacher Heresey floating around also come to think of it.

    At the very least, there is the Blue Mountain barrel aged series, which includes Dark Hollow, a good BBA Stout. I don't know if those are available in MD or DC. All over NOVA, though.

    took a little lunch break to total wine and was delighted to score a Barrel Aged Gonzo, Mogli and Dark Hollow. Not a bad start for my first stop. Thanks for the suggestions thus far BA, you east coast folk are allright in my book!
