Notable May Releases - DC/NoVA?

Can I get a price check on the grapefruit sculpin. Right now in MoCo it's averaging $20 a sixer :/

 

It's consistently $17.99 in the DC area. Bottles and cans.

 

Anyone have any intel on when Stickee Monkee and/or Helldorado may show up in DC/NoVA?

 

TW Alexandria has The Bruery Cuivre for those interested...looked like a single case of 6

 

It's $16.99 at Dominion in Falls Church. I think most everywhere else is between $17.99 & $18.99. I only buy Ballast point stuff at Dominion since they seem to sell it at the best price around the area.

 

Not sure whether this is of interest, but I saw a case of Victory Golden Monkey was recently delivered to Lost Dog North Arlington.

 

Sorry.....Sour Monkey.

 

One more FYI, there are six cases of NYFRB at Safeway on Wilson Blvd in Ballston right now. $10.99 per sixer or $9.99 each if you buy four. No limit. Cheers!

 

At least 10 cases of NYFRB at TW Chantilly last night

 

I think it hit Norm's in Vienna yesterday...at least it was supposed to according to their email list.

 

Arrowine getting five cases of NYFRB today.

 

Not surprised based on the single I had.

 

Still a 98% for the strong version and a 96% for the light version. I don't see a freefall anywhere, Mr. Petty.

 

off the top 250. at least for the 5.9% version. I think it has leveled out a bit. But i think you take any highly rated limited supply beer and suddenly distro countrywide and the score will fall. Though this one is a bit more of a niche or gimmicky beer than most. i think it will sell well initially, but after people have tried it once they won't be going back for it over and over, like, say, a fresh squeezed or victory at sea, which will sell well consistently for the long term.

For those wondering about Solar Abyss, it loos like there's going to be a release party late in June at the Donovan Hotel.

 

A 92 on BA. hopefully there are some left.

 

Is it going to be draft only or are we talking cans?

 

I have no idea what the details look like; I'm just basing that off of a brief description on the brewery's events calendar.

 

here we go:
