    did a quick search and couldn't find a thread that would address this question, but as releases/seasons change all the time, I figured I'd ask it anew anyway.

    I have a friend in DC for the week and asked if he could bring anything back to OR for me. I spent years in VA, but I don't know what all is seeing distro in DC these days.

    Curious if he were to drop by whole foods or a beer shop, what he might find that are current standouts. No walez, necessarily, but really stellar stuff in general.

    Thanks!

    one of the best beers down there is DC Brau's on the wings of Armageddon, but it is brewery only. That's probably what gets the most hype, and is regularly released, albeit you have to go to the brewery to get a 6er

    yeah, bourbon sidamo just dropped. lots of Maine around here too. pretty much everything they make gets 90 or better on BA. Tiny Beautiful Something, MO, Zoe, Another One, Lil One, Peeper, Red Wheelbarrow. I swear i saw bottles of Maine Beer 1 at Lost Dog a couple weeks ago. Maybe it was imagination. Maybe you stumble into a Lunch.

    Nice, that's where I'm hoping my pops picks me up a couple. I think I have one or two from last year's release I should open soon.
