Notable Releases - DC/NOVA/MD

Was in Seattle last April, walked into a store and there were 2 Sucabas just sitting on the shelf, minding their own business. I was in disbelief. It was too expensive for up there. I wonder if Seattle is becoming hard like SF this year.

 

I'll trade you one if you like. I already have one and should have another set aside for me. I also have 2 Sump (though not FW).

 

I was driving out to go backpacking in Olympic National Park in Washington State in August and stopped at a gas station that appeared to be associated with a Native American run casino next door. They also appeared to have a really good craft beer selection for a gas station. Upon closer inspection, sitting there was a FW box of Stickee Monkey, albeit at a ridiculously inflated price. That's my story.
I think i also passed on Helldorado on the same trip..kind of wish i'd grabbed one of those.

 

just left MOMs in Arlington, they have Adroit in house tasting til 7pm tonight. plenty of B/A/Y/S and others

 

saw these at MOMs Arlington (minus lunch)... Mo, Zo, Tiny Beautiful Something, Red Wheelbarrow, Mean Old Tom, Peeper

 

2/23 canned Double Duckpin and some Old Curmudgeon at Fair Lakes WF tonight.

Little bit of fruitbasket left too!

 

I had a nice bit of beer serendipity yesterday. I was meeting my son for lunch at the Whole Foods Fair Lake "Cheez Town." I was placing our order and saw a server passing a box of §ucuba to another customer. So I finished my order with, "...and a bottle of that!" I think I may have gotten the next to the last bottle unless they had more in the back.

 

Birch & Barley had Sucuba on tap last night along with a couple of other notables, Double Duckpin, Alpha Domina Mellis, SMS, Peche Mortel (3 different types, no BA), Luponic Distortion, and Sexual Chocolate among others

 

Sucaba is also still on tap at Rustico Ballston, so if you keep missing the bottles, as I have, it's right there for you to drink.
Or if you know anyone in California, just ask them to check their local shop. Also, the High Westified is drinking better than I remembered. Will there really be more bottles coming out?

 

4 bottles of Sucaba at Woodmoor Market in Silver Spring as of last night. $21.99

 

OTWOA, Dino S'Mores, and BCBS bottles at Lighthouse Liquors in Baltimore. Not sure if there's a pp limit on the BCBS but there were 5 or 6 on the shelf behind the counter.

 

Would anyone happen to know if Downtown Crown has any cans of Citra Splendor left? I'm assuming no, but thought it would be worth an ask.

 

I'm not sure if there's any left. I didn't see any on the shelves or on the floor Saturday night but when I asked they got me a 4-pack from the back.

 

Two cases of Trillium bombers bottled last Thursday at Cairo as of five minutes ago...

@thedcwineguy We have a VERY limited amount of VERY fresh @trilliumbrewing IPA's on the shelf today! Get 'em before they're gone. Limit 1 per person!

 

just got back from Cairo--they've got Congress St., Vicinity, and the Double Dry Hopped versions of Congress St. and Melcher St. for $19.99.

 

On my way to Cairo for the DDH Congress St. Never seen Trillium in DC before. This is awesome.

 

Lol wow, $19.99 for Trillium bombers? That's an $8-10 markup. Guessing they had to justify the trip to Boston somehow.

 

DC bottle shops regularly sell old, unrefrigerated Headys and Plinys for $30, so this is basically a bargain.

 

Still way cheaper than tolls or shipping costs....

 

Maybe for one bottle - if you trade for two, shipping costs mitigated and if you trade for more it's definitely cheaper.

Very true, but does anyone actually buy them? There's a reason they're old. These will definitely sell - it's not the worst markup I've seen - but it's still close to a 100% markup.
