    Will be in Maryland later this month and would like to grab this. Couple things:

    1. How widely available is it? Will most stores have it?
    2. How easy is it to find on draft? Any specific recommendations of places I should go to grab it? I'll be in the far DC suburbs, out by Howard County.
    3. Longshot, but anyone know if Nationals Park might have it on draft? Thanks!!

    I've had it on draft in DC many times. It's also pretty readily available in cans. Not sure about Nationals Park. Double Duckpin is also in season and I would definitely check that out if you can get your hands on it. Available mostly in cans, might get lucky and see it on draft somewhere. Cans are readily available in Baltimore but not sure about DC. I'd also recommend their Old Pro gose if you're at all interested. Enjoy!

    Thanks buds. Beer at Nationals Park looks kind of meh but maybe I'll rip a Flying Dog.

    Double Duckpin is awesome, don't hesitate to buy it if you see it. I wish it was easier to get for me living in VA.

    Have not been in a beer store in Maryland that does not have Duckpin Pale Ale. Sold in certain places in Camden Yards. Like others said, Double Duckpin is much better. Duckpin Pale Ale is a nice beer but IMO very over priced.

    There are 3 local craft stands at Nats Park. They are in section: 138, 225, and 309. When I was there last week, they had Mad Fox, Port City, Atlas, and DC Brau. The selections rotate. That's your best bet for beer at the ballpark!

    There is an Anniversary IPA made by Samuel Adams. Exclusive to Nats park. Can't comment on how it is, but it's something that can only be had at the ballpark which is pretty cool.

    If you want Duckpin THAT bad, just go buy some at Whole Foods on P St and pour it into the Beer Belly before you go into the stadium > http://www.thebeerbelly.com/The_Beerbelly_Product_Line_Up_s/1.htm.

    I think the last canning of Double Duckpin was late May. 5/26 was on my cans

    Double Duckpin is a well made beer but you have to REALLY like super sticky, very resinous beers. It's not my style but I can see how someone would really enjoy it.

    Had this today! Loved it. Sticky and hoppy and tasty. Thanks, all.

    Also tried their Old Pro Gose, which I thought was good, too.

    I know that Family Meal in Frederick has had it quite often. Also, Family Meal is an amazing restaurant that is a destination in and of itself. Decent beer selection and stellar food. They had Duckpin there when I was there in the beginning of June.
