Notable Releases - DC/NOVA/MD

FW XIX and Agrestic have landed in DC. Best of luck.

 

I love coconut but I think the coconut flavor in Maui's CoCoNut is a pretty good level. Question is, if you hate coconut why were you trying coconut beers? haha

 

Cause the guys at Dominion pushed a sample of both on me. I'm a victim, what can I say?

 

Haha, understood.

 

Where have you seen this? Dude at WFP told me yesterday its dropping next week or the week after

 

for the firestonewalker xix is that a drink now beer? Is it ready? or too hot and should be aged a bit.

 

In my opinion none of the Firestone beers need to be aged, they are all sold ready to drink.

 

FW Agrestic bottles still at TW McLean as of this afternoon

 

I have no experience aging Helldorado, but the one bottle I was able to snag this year was way too boozy fresh, and I'm usually a guy who likes his in-your-face-alcohol beers. My tasting notes were "Tastes of booze, vanilla, booze, honey, and booze. A bit boozy. With booze." I suspect some age would benefit that beer.

 

I really liked Helldorado, I didn't think it was too boozy.

 

Generally FW beers are very hot after initial purchase. Gotta age them and let them mellow out.

 

Anyone miss Flight of the Angry Beast, it's still at Ye Olde Spirit at a very fair price. They were also taking names for BCBS but stopped "half way" through their allotment so others can line up at BF opening for a chance.

 

Any info on whether ye old spirit shop will
have any variants?

 

Sorry, didn't clarify with them but from the conversation I had, I'd say they only got regular

 

Project Pam from Founders is at Connection Wine and spirits

 

Xocoveza is on the shelf at TW Springfield. Apparently no limits.

 

TW Springfield also has Death by Coconut, Plead the 5th, and Blackout Stout.

 

I know it has been released a while ago but today I stopped at Dominion and they had a few cases of Cigar City Jai Alai!

 

I've seen it consistently at WF in Alexandria. Plenty to be had. I've also started to see it on draft in NOVA.

 

The Alexandria Trader Joes had cases of it earlier this month and still has a few left.
