DC/MD/NoVA Beer Updates (2020)

I got some yesterday Total Wine, paid and extra buck, but it’s worth it! Cheers!

ps-And if you’re still looking for Goose Island Bourbon County original and three variations, Costco has got still for them cheap!

 

Good to know, haven’t seen variants anywhere up here in Frederick. At Riverside, their BCBS was quite reasonable $13.99.

 

Only 50 cents more than a four pack of Willettized!

 

Which variants?

 

LOL yeah, realize that Willetized may be the best BA Stout value/quality ratio on the planet right now, but for BCBS @$13.99 is $3-$5 cheaper than Ive seen in other local stores.

 

Caramella, #4 and Kentucky Fog.

 

For what it’s worth (not the Neil Young song), Goose Island Bourbon County is heavenly, well worth it. Lagunitas Willitized is a heavenly value, incredibly worth it! Both beers are a must, as they are not too many in their ballpark! Just saying...

 

Agreed. I haven't really been drinking stouts in the last year because they all taste so sweet to me, but this years BCBS is incredibly balanced. Wood again.

 

We got 2 cases(according to the store where I shop) for the entire Eastern Shore on Wednesday.$11.99 a four pack.I was very happy with the price. The last time I saw Willitized, it was $5 a bottle.

 

Whole Foods on P has Kentucky fog for 23, caramella for 17 and special #4 for 23. Straight up BCBS for 13

 

They usually don't, unfortunately.

 

Wow DTC is getting a huge Veil drop. I drove up there during the summer when they had Veil cans and there was almost no one on the road. Not sure how they get Veil and Dominion doesn't. But I hope Dominion starts getting Other Half cans on the regular. Those were good.

 

One guess why DTC gets all the Veil cans.... because it's a much larger space that can accommodate it?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but seems like Dominion is only getting OHDC cans? Whereas DTC gets cans from all three OH locations.

 

That's what I've seen as well. Must say the recent cans from Vitamin Sea (Sea for Yourself IIPA) are excellent. They still have them and they were canned 11/24. Not sure why people didn't grab them up but it's outstanding.

 

Agreed 100%. Great beer. Picked up a couple of 4 packs. Saw that Dominion just got Here's to Feeling Good All The Time by Bissell too. Very solid beer.

 

Check the date on this. The Brew Shop has been doing mixed four packs of IPAs, stouts, Crispies, etc for a little over a month now. I did not talk to them about this (although they are my LBS), but I think it's a great way to try different beers. Despite wanting to spend money on local breweries (DMV/RVA), I pulled the trigger on the Other Half mixed pack. I still believe that more bottle shops should do this. Looking forward to trying these.

 

Von Trapp announced yesterday that they will be start distributing to Maryland and DC in early 2021. I spoke with someone from Legends, and they said to expect Von Trapp in Maryland by the end of January, followed by Three Floyds in February. Definitely some exciting news for Marylanders!

 

Will be great to get regular access to Zombie Dust!
