    Most Wegmans have BA Rasp. If you need some, lemme know.

    Wine world in Bel Air has tons of Uncle Jacobs by avery. 15 a bottle though. Couldn't bring myself to purchase at that cost. Also, about 4 old cases of nugget nectar.

    Yeah, I popped a BA Raspberry Stout recently and the barrel character is faint to non-existent.

    Yes. With the HW barrel releases, it neds to be drank within a month of bottling. The 3 months of aging imparts a fresh flavor that dissipates rather quickly.

    I was surprised they had it too. About 3 cases of Uncle Jacob's, Avery IPA, Raja Double IPA, and some other variants.

    WF P is unaware that Founders Sumatra Mountain Brown even exists; no telling if/when theyll have it.

    Wonder if Avery is coming back to MD. That would be awesome.

    The Hardywood BA Raspberry with Vanilla Beans was maybe the most barrel-forward beer I've had from Hardywood. I was pretty impressed actually. How's the regular Raspberry compare?

    Someone mentioned this in another thread. MD not listed on the Avery website, so I'm really not sure what the story is. No hype behind it either. Maybe I'll ping Mr. Avery himself and ask. Love to have them back here!

    Founders Sumatra Brown and HW Raspberry Barrel Aged Vanilla Beans are all pretty abundant at TW McClean

    Avery must be back in MD, Max's in Baltimore tapped four of their beers today. I'm not mad about this development.

    It is too bad they can't move inventory faster...lots of old beers dying a slow death in there.

    I popped HW's BA Vanilla Raspberry with a year on it a month or so ago, and really enjoyed it.

    Yeah; the thing is, once that barrel fades away, you basically unlock the same base beer whether or not you realize it. Only takes about 4 months for that flavor to dissipate. HW's brews are enjoyed best fresh unless they're Foolery/Trickery/Ruse.

    Can confirm, Avery is in Maryland to my surprise. I haven't heard anything about it but I picked up a 4 pack of Raja last night in Baltimore.
