Metro DC Brewery Discussion Thread

Are those the only beers they will have available?

 

awaiting the ft double orange starfish iso vanilla rye posts

 

Most likely, yes. Every beer that is set to release is usually put under their events section on FB. Those are the only two listed.

 

for reals tho, if anyone gets double orange starfish and is interested in sharing some beer rather than trading, I would be happy to meet up and open something nice of your choice. would love to try this one.

 

@Franch I'm game. That of course presumes that I land one tomorrow.

 

may the odds be ever in yr favor.

 

I'm not optimistic about being one of the first 60 tomorrow, but hoping to go, drink a glass or two of Double Starfish at the bar and take home some crowlers of Astro Zombie. I think I'd call that a successful day!

 

Wait, will there be Double Starfish available to drink on premises in addition to the 60 crowlers? I had assumed the 60 crowlers took up the whole batch. (???)

 

Well, 60 crowlers is 1,920 ounces. A barrel is almost 4,000 ounces. So if the batch was just half a barrel then all would be crowlers, but otherwise there will be draft too. My money is on draft in addition to crowlers.

 

Confirmed via Facebook that they will have it on tap as well.

 

Anybody happen to be there and know what the line is like (if any). I assume the mug club will snatch up most of the crowlers. I'm just debating if I should get there at 3 and try some on tap.

Thanks!

 

I'm here. About 25 in line already.

 

Who are all of these people who can line up hours in advance on a Thursday afternoon!?

 

Craft beer isn't exactly a cheap hobby. How do these people afford it without jobs?

 

beer is dumb

 

What privileges do mug club members have?

 

My guesses:

1. They work but don't have 9-5 jobs.
2. They work but have a stay at home partner or retired relative who can stand in line for them.
3. They telework and don't have stringent work deadlines.

Is that enough answers?
