Notable Releases - DC/NOVA/MD

Any intel on Harford or Cecil counties? Heard today they might not get anything at all.

 

Unless it's going to places unexpected, I'm only seeing kegs of Stout and Barleywine in DC.
Churchkey is doing bottle pours of everything else.

RFD appears to have a keg of Coffee saved from last year that they're tapping.

Max's also had keg(s) of Regular and BW. Nowhere else in MD though to my knowledge.

 

Couldn't agree more Jace. Grabbed some more SSMS this morning along with coffee. Who is Singlecuts distributor?

 

Just got home from Max's. 2016 is delicious as usual but their keg of 2015 made me sad that the bottles bombed last year. Really incredible beer.

 

Also, that was either a misprint on the Max's website or it never came to fruition. They had plenty of bottles of BW but no keg.

 

CM has always seen limited distro. Total/wegmans/wf type places getting 1-2 cases.

Kentucky Christmas morning has been brewery only or maybe 5cs total distro. Hardywood is expanding though, could be different this year.

 

They're coming in with Pekko. A relatively new distributor who is bringing in some impressive brands. Logsdon, Modern Times, SingleCut, Kent Falls plus some Shelton Bros stuff.

 

a little late to the game but MOMs is reporting the Arlington store has abraxas and the dissident. also say the Merrifield store has abraxas

 

I'm travelling and had someone ask the guy at Friendship in Abingdon and he confirmed the distributor they use didn't order for Harford or Cecil

 

My heart goes out to anyone who felt compelled to go out before sunrise and wait three hours for their 2015 bottle of Rare. You sir, are a real man of genius.


Full Disclosure: Waited fifteen minutes for a bottle of coffee. Sorta like a reallly long Starbucks trip.

 

Glad I never got into stouts. And I fucking love coffee. But I just don't get it.

 

Quite frankly I've come to see them as something like a good port, 4-6 ounces mildy chilled is about what I want, so at most 8oz of stout. 6 actually.

 

Well now they have one less bottle of Abraxas but still maybe 3 left for anyone who missed it

 

Do Lickinghole bottles ever make it up to NOVA?

 

Yes, we get their full distribution

 

Anyone else notice that that there weren't as many places to get BCBS on draft friday?

For example, I called Rustico and they said "the beer director" hasn't determined if they'll get any, but they have bottles (meh).

Is NRG hoarding it from non-Churchkey places so they can have future 7-year vertical events for Churchkey?

 

Even the barrel aged stuff? Looking for those VABB they posted today

 

We get all of their barrel aged beers that see distribution, but not all barrel aged beers see distro, some are brewery-only. I think both of the BB variants they posted today are brewery-only.
