Notable Releases - DC/NOVA/MD

@starrdogg has single handidly created the need for a bottle limit on ssms

 

at first glance i thought they were, but they're actually 16.9oz

 

Full disclosure: I'm the one ordering the beer for the store mentioned below so shameless plug, you could say....

Odd Provisions in Columbia Heights got a shipment of Singlecut today, SSMS (11/17) and Weird & Gilly (11/30), (come buy it all, no need to put limits on it). Also more Prairie Bomb! and some Funky Gold Mosaic, as well as some other cool stuff, from a few different distributors.

As far as the store goes, I'm trying to stock it with a wide range of beer but with a heavy emphasis on cans and large format bottles. Come check it out sometime.

 

Saw Singlecut just started canning. Prices still pretty high. Tired Hands prices, 20$ a 4 pack.

 

Fuck me. I thought I read 1 pint 9 ounces. Which doesn't = 22oz. So not only can I not read, but I suck at the maths.

 

Weird & Gilly is another banger.

 

For the MD folks, Champion Brewing Co. just started distribution this week through Backup. Just in time for the release of Fruitbasket coming in about a month.

 

BCBS/BW at TW McLean.

 

High West-ified, Biggie, and Agrestic too.

 

Bottle limit?

 

One per, at the front desk.

 

Three cases of High Westified at Total Wine Fairfax, minus the two six packs my wonderful wife just grabbed. Apparently, no limits and out on the floor.

They also have it at TW Ballston and Leesburg, according to someone on the phone at a TW that didn't have it. I'd call those two first before rushing over, though.

 

Omnipollo Yellow Belly, Hansenns Oude Geuze and others at CBC on H St. I've wanted to try Yellow Belly for a while but CBC is pretty out of my way. Anyone have an idea if this has popped up elsewhere in DC?

 

@TW Ballston
High westified 1-six pack pp (2 cases left)
Agrestic
BCBS

 

Nice!

 

Lizard of Koz at Costco Pentagon City $14.99

I still didn't buy one, but that's promising if this BA series veers in the direction of stuff I'm interested in (Better Half etc)

 

Don't get the hype around Bourbon Biggie Smores. Pretty unremarkable imo.

 

Koz had way too much blueberry. I dumped it

 

yeah it is! we've got it at Little Miss Whiskey's for $12 a bottle. Got SSMS for $15 as well (those are bar prices, I'm the owner).
Also FWIW we've moved 10 bottles of Heavy Boots... Barrel-Aged and had zero complaints. I sampled from 2 of the bottles and didn't perceive any sour/infection flavors at all. I dunno if we got lucky but our batch is mighty tasty

 

Agreed. I had it last night. Tasted like IHOP blueberry syrup in FIS.
