Notable Releases - DC/NOVA/MD

4 Hands is in MD, or at least in Baltimore, I've seen their stuff at a few places in the city.

Canton Crossing Beer + Wine had Cash Money last night when I was there.

 

Out. I called to confirm it was in stock, and they said the computers showed 11 bottles left. When I arrived 10 minutes later, they said the computers are incorrect, and they ran out earlier today. Hope this info saves someone an unnecessary trip.

TW Alexandria has it but won't start selling it until tomorrow.

 

Is Rum Pumpkin really that good? Other than barrel-GBS, I've never seen people running around for a Hardywood beer like this before.

 

No.

 

It landed at p street this morning. They still have a few bottles of helldorado and VM.

 

Very much depends on your tastes. I had it last year on draft ( edit #2 whiskey barrel, not rum, my mistake) and thought it was great. But then again I like the barrel aged pumpkin beers. No idea how this year's batch tastes...yet.

Edit...

Also could be due to the limited release.

 

Foolproof way to inflate demand: barrel age a beer and limit production. Doesn't matter if it's any good, people will want it!

 

it's okay. like all of their other BA stuff, it spends far too short an amount of time in barrels IMO

 

WF P St doesn't expect to put their 30th Anniversary out until next week.

 

Bell's 30th gone at P street.

 

So one post says the beer won't be out until next week, 10 minutes later that same beer is gone? Am I missing something?

 

What's the deal with this anyway? I find a lot of their BA beers spend just long enough in barrels to dull the flavors of the base beer, but not long enough to impart enough flavor from the barrel. It just seems like a giant waste of good beer honestly. Go all the way or don't bother Hardywood!

 

Re: 30th Anniversary at P St, Randy told me it's not even in the system yet and won't be for sale until next week.

 

I just left WF. They were 2 bottles per person, 4.99 each. There was at least one other person there buying bottles when i left.

 

Multiple cases of 30th Anniversary at Lighthouse in Baltimore.. $19.99 sixer

 

Sixpoint Sensi 2015 has landed... not much of it though.. at P St whole foods

 

anywhere I could pick up DC Brau cans to go (pref corruption or OTWOA but I think that one is brewery only).... I have a car in the District and can buy them there or anywhere on the way back to Fredericksburg.....want to leave pre-rush hour so the brewery will wait until tomorrow when I'll be staying in DC. wf P st?

 

You can buy Corruption at just about any beer store in the city. OTWOA is brewery-only, but currently on sale at the brewery. I think they open at 4 today.

 

I was just there picking up the last of the Bell's 30th Anniversary. I got two bottles and I saw someone else get two bottles, as well. Maybe @mancallede ?

Looks like Rodmans DC has it, as well.

 

Last I checked, they also have a pretty good selection of DC Brau cans at WF on Wisconsin Ave.
