    Haha yeah I still check it every now and again! Lucked out they had just gotten the MT cans in like 30 mins before I got there.

    I think I discovered it in 2010, probably a few months before I joined BA actually! I credit that store and ChurchKey's opening the prior fall for really opening my eyes to the world of craft beer beyond DFH 60 Minute and Dale's Pale Ale.

    Heading to NOVA today. Has Good Gourd landed yet?

    No CC in nova besides sporadic drops of jai/invasion/cracker/maduro cans. I've personally never seen draft or glass bottles of CC in nova or DC, I think kegs happen once in a blue moon, but no 22/750s so far.

    Good Gourd as in Good Gourd I can't believe people chase down pumpkin beers

    3 Stars - two headed unicorn @ dvines on 14th st, $15 375ml

    Just shared it with my wife during dinner. Excellent funk; the best sour I've had from a DC brewery. Looking forward to future 3 stars barrel sours.

    Pretty sure it's an August release, doubt it will be hitting NoVA at this point.

    Bummer. Their fb post from mid-August noted it would see VA distro but I have not seen or heard of it landing anywhere yet. NOVA or RVA would have been the areas to get it most likely.

    Maybe try contacting the distributor, Brown? They are based out of RVA so maybe all the GG ended up there. I've never heard of any bombers of CC in NoVA aside from the Hardywood collaboration.

    Larry at Chevy Chase was the original DC Beer celebrity, way before even Al at Connecticut Ave. Once Larry started stepping back, that place embraced their status as a beer destination less and less.

    I've reached out to both Brown as well as CCB through email as well as their social media. Crickets so far.

    Seems like a lot of effort for a pumpkin beer.

    Anybody know if Victory at Sea is a year round beer or is it still seasonal (and if the latter, when does it get released)? I see it listed at Total Wine, just wondering how long it's been sitting around...

    Listed as year round on their website.

    I believe it's technically year round though here there are definitely periods here where it's no where to be found.

    Looks like DC got some Otter Creek/Lawson's Double Dose this year. Craft Beer Cellar posted they had it on Facebook, but it was gone by the time I got there. Any more around?

    I saw some at TW Mclean last week and passed right by it. Had no idea it was a collab with Lawsons!

    Picked up a 4pk at d'vines over the weekend -it wasn't on the shelf and the manager got it from the back. Would definitely call ahead.

    On the pricey side, but really good stuff!
