Notable Releases - DC/NOVA/MD

I can't speak to distro or not as I am only going on what I have reached on the HW website and their event info. It says brewery only release but I have heard some people much more connected to HW state it would see very limited distro.

 

Wow. That is a pretty incredible taplist for a Foster's Grille. I wish Vienna's Foster's Grille had these beers. What is that pricing? Is that for growler fills? The dollar amounts I'm reading seem crazy.

 

Has anyone seen Alpine bottles in DC proper? I know this question was asked before, but I have not seen a response yet. Alpine bottles have been in NOVA for a few weeks now.

 

It seemed to be typical pricing for this area. I think it is Full pour/10oz/taster.

 

Man, I've clearly lived in the DC area too long if those prices are "crazy" to others. They seem perfectly normal to me.

 

Backwoods Bastard is in DC, saw it at Schneider's they only have a case. Rumor is that everyone is only getting max a case a week.

 

Broad Branch Market also has Backwoods Bastard

 

I must be a complete idiot reading this. For example, how much is a 640z growler fill for Enjoy By? The way I am clearly misreading the sign is that it is $9? Is that correct? If so, these are crazy good prices for any area. I am sure I am missing something here.

 

Harvest was on the shelf tonight at P St WF for $16.

 

I bet that's for a 32oz.

 

has anyone tried Bluejacket's Whiskey Barrel-Aged Double Mexican Radio? Is it worth trying to grab a bottle of it next weekend?

 

it's worth a fair amount of effort.

 

Yes and Yes. I had it back to back with the regular Mex Radio and it was quite good.

 

Backwoods Bastard hit at Norm's yesterday evening. They only got a case and they were selling one per customer.

 

Yes and No

 

Much better than the regular mexican radio and worth it.

 

When is it coming out (ie what does "next weekend" mean)? I think its very good, definitely worth trying to get a bottle.

 

Depends on how much they are charging for bottles. I thought it was good, but nothing to write home about. It's definitely one of the better local offerings for the style though.

 

I remember years ago in this area being able to buy a 4 pack with no issue. The times have changed.

 

If anyone's still looking to try this years Backwoods Bastard, Georgetown Wine & Spirits (2701 P St) still had some today. Have to ask for it though.

Stopped by Pearson's in Glover Park and apparently someone walked out with all the BB they had. Honestly, I'm starting to understand stores setting bottle limits. If it's gonna sell out anyways, might as well let some others get to try it.
