    Sure, but I'm not even just looking to local breweries. Just anything I can get in/around DC. Glenns has RAR sours on a fair amount and currently have $19 fills of RAR Saving Astoria but it's orange/tangerine so not particularly holiday themed.

    FYI just came across Drekker Brewing outta ND and they seem to be seeing some DC distro now (CBC, Dominion, etc). Seems like they have some very well reviewed sours.

    Dominion in Falls Church has been getting a drop every couple of weeks. They have some solid beers.

    Personally, I like to support businesses that make choices that align with my own.

    Not making choices is its own form of choice, and not one I’m down with, generally.

    Tried the Braaaaaaiinsss peach/passionfruit and the Brain Squeeze Raspberry/Mango. Think I like the latter better but both are above average. The Braiiiiinsss was a little sweet for my taste but def can still drink one or two.

    Is there any Hardywood Christmas Pancakes on shelves in or near Chantilly?

    I know this isn't real close to Chantilly, but I found some this past weekend in a Giant grocery store in Springfield in the beer cooler. Might be worth a call to your closest Giant.

    Check Total Wine in Chantilly, and Norm’s in Vienna as well. Also, B Side in the Mosaic District is part of the NRG Restaurant Group (Churchkey/Rustico etc) and often gets in limited releases.

    If anyone gets their hands on Lemon Lime Puck Face, it is a must have. I found some at a liquor store in Delaware over Thanksgiving break. Maybe my favorite sour I've ever had. I'm assuming the regular version is pretty good too.

    Does K1 post old stock on Instagram frequently?

    They posted an IPA I really wanted the other day, so I went in and found out it was canned back in July. Yikes.

    First sour of the night? Yeah.

    Taste is subjective. I thought it was pretty damn good. Not overly sour, not overly sweet. I've had other sours by much more highly regarded breweries (cough cough Trillium) that I thought were pretty bad.

    What’s the going price for regular Bourbon County Stout this year? Overheard some folks saying Total Wine has it at $20. Is that everyone’s experience?

    Cheapest I've seen is $10.99 but the general consensus is between $11.99 and & 14.99. Twenty bucks for regular is ridiculous.

    This was of course second hand and they could have been talking about another store compared to TW or variant pricing. Thank you for the reponses.
