Metro DC Brewery Discussion Thread

Because cans!!!!

 

Ha, came in to post just this. I'm not sure what the heck happened with that dark/malty batch, but they have fixed it. Really Rosie is back on at the brewpub, though no growlers.

I also had a chance to visit the production house last weekend and got to try the Baron Corvo for the first time (!) - it's an instant favorite of mine.

 

New batch of Range Life utilizing all Idaho 7 hops is on at the Right Proper brewpub today. Tasting pretty damn great!

 

Ocelot bottles soon! (from their facebook page)

 

And apparently making more home: https://twitter.com/OcelotBrewing/status/714832800743047170

 

According to the flyer, it's supposed to be released at their anniversary party on 4/30.

 

They confirmed on Twitter today that they will be bottling Home! Sooooo psyched!

 

Anyone know what the crowler limits are on the Aslin IPAs? Called but no one picking up.

 

2 of each pp

 

Are they all $14 or are IPAs less than the DIPAs?

 

All the same price

 

All the same price, $13 (before tax).

 

damn, rather just get a 64 oz growler for a few bucks more

 

I agree that the prices are definitely up there for a brewery so young, but at the same time they seem confident they can maintain and or up their IPA & DIPA game. Should they make an error at those prices, some fans will probably end up complaining more vocally.

 

I thought growlers are cheaper ($22 or $24)? Did they raise their prices again?

They seem to waste a ton of beer when filling growlers. Maybe that's why the prices are so high?

 

I wanna say I got a 64 oz of Master of Karate for $18?

 

Master of Karate was $24 for 64oz. Champion and BSB was $22. I think Mind the Hop was $18, but that was before they raised their prices.

I think going forward they are only filling their IPA's in crowlers, which are 32 oz. and $13 a piece. At their current prices (and distance from me + tolls) the only thing I plan to buy in the future are Orange Starfish, Mind the Hop, and their Deceiver variants; their prices are too high to justify otherwise.

 

It'd be awesome to get some Aslin on tap around DC. Ocelot's deal with Meridian/Brookland Pint got me hooked on their hoppy beers, but it's hard to justify driving out to Herndon just to try Aslin.

They seem to be doing just fine for now though, and i'm sure they'll expand soon enough.

 

Is it really that hard to drive from DC out to Herndon? People do the reverse of that five times a week. Keep drinking your DC Brau I guess.
