Notable Releases - DC/NOVA/MD

God I wish. That would be a game changer. Nobody in nova does crowlers that I know of

 

Darn, I think DC Brau does, worth asking I guess.

 

I thought I overheard the guys at Aslin say they were getting a crowler machine in a few weeks.

 

I picked up a 4 pack at Wine Source last weekend. Didn't really check to see how many were sitting there. Nice session.

 

Avery Tweak, Bitter Valentine and DB Adventure 12 pack were at Calvert Woodley when I was there yesterday.

The Sovereign was cool. I had Grimm Purple Prose and HF La Vermontoise. My lady had Pannepeut and De Ranke Guldenberg.

 

Saw a few cases of Hopslam by the registers at the Giant on Washington Blvd in Arlington, if anyone's still looking.

 

the beer has landed in DC. who wants to come drink?

PS the boxes go to "X". ffs.

 

Why do I feel like someone's trying to sell me candy out of their white van?

 

Or speakers.

 

[brad pitt] what's in the box? [/brad pitt]

 

Harrison St. HT all out of Hopslam.

 

also does anyone want any twelve shippers.

 

@Franch. Just to be clear - I'm interested in any bottle shares; just making jokes for good fun.

 

cool, my white van is behind union station. bring yr waels.

 

WF @ 2323 Wisconsin Ave NW has Sump in the cooler; 7 bottles left as of this evening

 

presume I moved here too late, but any hopslam in the district left?

 

I believe Whole Foods P St. had it but I'm sure its gone by now. Your best bet may be to find it on tap.

The Harris Teeters in Virginia received their allocation this past week and there may still be some floating around.

 

Saw it today at Safeway in Falls Church at the Willston Center (off 50)

 

I saw a few cases yesterday by the registers at the Giant on Washington Blvd in Arlington.

 

I know I'm a little late with this, but like an earlier poster, I hit up both the Grimm Tap Takeover at Beltway and Aslin Brewing on Friday. Got to the Grimm event around 4:45 and it was a LOT more crowded than I expected. Waited in line for ~45 minutes to put in growler orders and to get a flight and waited another 45 minutes for them to fill the growlers. As mentioned, they were pouring cans of Lambo Door for those in line, so that was super cool of them. I'd only had a couple of things from Grimm before, and I was generally pretty impressed by the offerings, with Lumen and Super Spruce as the standouts and Lambo Door coming in just behind.

I was pretty damn impressed with my experience at Aslin. I thought the clear standout was Bringing Sexy Back, a mosaic IPA that really blew me away. It was one of the best beers (if not the best) I've had from the DC area, and truly was on the level of the best NE IPAs. I actually enjoyed it more than anything I had from Grimm! Their DIPAs were also good, but not on that same level. The other beers could use a little work, but for a fledgling brewery, these guys are crushing it.
