    The girlfriend's sister is going to be in Richmond next weekend, and I'm hoping to get her to bring some beers back with her that I can't get here. Looks like Bells and New Belgium are topping the list. Anything I'm overlooking? And more importantly, any places I can point her towards? I'd love to make it as easy as possible for her in order to raise my chances of her bringing it back.

    Have her stop at the best brewery in Richmond and see what bottles she can snag, these guys will blow up soon!

    Once Upon a Vine North and Whole Foods Short Pump are good starting points. The Total Wines have a nice selection. If the Hardywood Brewery is open have her stop by there.

    I'd look for Williamsburg Alewerks as well. Try to find their Bourbon Porter, Coffee Stout, and Pumpkin Ale. They are the best brewery I've had here in Virginia. I haven't had Hardywood, though, and hear great things about them. Also, if you can't get Schlafly Pumpkin they distribute here and I'd definitely try to get some of that too.

    Thanks for the help guys. Not sure where she ended up stopping, but she ended up bringing me back a sixer a piece of bell's two hearted and oarsman as well as a bottle each of hardywood's belgian DIPA and the bourban aged belgian DIPA. Looking forward to trying over the next week or so. Oh, and I also got the remnants of her starr hill variety pack. Not exactly the most glamorous haul, but still nice to try some new stuff.
