Notable Releases - DC/NOVA/MD

Abyss and variants at WF P st, 1 per on variants and no limit on just abyss

 

They have more Xmas Morning as well. Fair warning -- it's a shitshow in there today.

 

No heir apparent, stone Xocoveza, or enjoy by at TW Alexandria yet.

 

Free cases of Heady Topper couldn't get me back in a grocery store today. Perfect weekend to dip into the cellar.

 

The wine man said the variants are now gone, but the regular Abyss abides. And it is scary crowded in there.

 

I was tempted to up and leave and get there, but I was at WF yesterday and it was a shit show, I can only imagine it now.

 

Even worse at Trader Joe's - beware.

 

You gotta be crazy to be going out shopping now unless you ABSOLUTELY have to...

I got my X-country skis I am set for tomorrow

 

So now we're reporting lists of beers stores didn't get? lol

Any guesses on tomorrow or next week for these in NoVA? Definitely iso the two Stone six packs.

 

Xoco charred just dropped @ arrowine

 

Are stores supposed the be getting more of the regular Xoco?

 

Crystal City Wine Shop just dropped Heir Apparent, Coconut Quad, Drink by 2.14.15 Black IPA and Avery Vanilla Bean.

 

Thanks for the text about abyss...Guess ill find a new mule

 

The tap list for the Adroit Theory Dawn of the Dark Day next weekend looks ridiculous. Lots of variants. Lots of barrel-aged stuff.

Call me when they make a basic IPA half as good as Ocelot.

 

Given that I highly suspect they would argue that they don't really try to make IPAs, I'm not sure how this is constructive.

 

I count 20 IPA's and 21 DIPA's listed here:

I'm a pretty big fan of "This Time You Should Believe the Hype", but that's just my personal preference.

On topic - Stone''s Drink by 02.14.16 Black IPA was at Whole Foods Alexandria

 

$30 parking ticket added to what I spent at ***** foods, and then add on liquor at Schneiders...the wife won't be happy when she looks at the checking account...oh well, work day was productive, my boss gave me good news and I got beers I never thought I'd have.

 

Notable "release" at local tastings rooms across Northern Va on January 29th of a collaboration brew in support of a local brewer's (Forge Brew Works) family. Details of story within, but Kerri's Cure is a Belgian Pale according to the article:
