DC/MD/NoVA Beer Updates (2017)

I believe at the previous Jream release (Tropical and BlackBerry Currant), if you weren't in line by 11, you didn't get cans. With all the Jream hype, I would play it safe and get there early, especially given the particular weekend.

 

Right, it's intended for the DC metro area (the DMV as some people call it), which includes part of Maryland not the entire state.

 

Can someone make just a DMV thread, and a rest of the state of Maryland thread so people won't get upset. There's great beer everywhere across the state, but some can't handle that evidently.

 

This is the DMV thread. Here is the MD thread:

Anybody know the bottling dates on the Modern Times stuff hitting NOVA?

 

I think the Fortunate Islands cans are 6/6/17. Not sure about the other stuff.

 

I'm drinking a bottle of Tetra City that's dated 6/6/17. Good stuff. The other beers I had were growlers from Dominion--Blazing World, Orderville and Booming Rollers. All excellent, esp Orderville.

 

Any Arlington heads ever been to Heritage Brewing Co? I live real close and had never noticed it and was unsure if it was just a gimmicky kind of place or actually had good brew

 

I've been there, they make pretty good beer for a local spot. The whole military theme puts me off but if you like or don't mind that the its worth going by.

 

I stopped in for a couple rounds a week or so ago. I enjoyed the visit. Beer was decent, staff was very friendly. I wouldn't recommend a special trip, but since you're close, you should def stop in.

 

Excited to see Ithaca Brewing in Maryland!
Had one of their Flower Power IPAs in Boston last weekend and really enjoyed it

 

Did Stickee Monkee already come and go in DC? I've been out of the country for a couple weeks.. If so, is there any hanging around anywhere?

 

I saw it at CBC on Sunday. No clue if it's still there, but it might be worth a call.

 

Does burial distro to DC. Vaguely remember seeing cans but not sure if it was one time thing

 

I was just in the Fairfax Wegmans and they had 6 bottles of Stickee Monkee on the shelf.

 

What is the deal with Aslin? Was poking around on the "best beers in VA" list and looks like they have a few good ones. Worth a trip over there? Do they sell cans/bottles consistently or only on certain days or based on release?

 

I'd encourage you to check the Aslin thread. Lots of info there.

 

They have limited hours and it's usually cans Thursday and growlers plus leftover cans Fri through Sun, not sure about this week with the Saturday can release though. Sometimes the cans will sell out the day of (depending on the beer and quantity), sometimes they will last a week.

You may or may not think it's worth the trip, I've had my share of terribly flawed beers but I think they have fixed that for the most part.

 

I agree that you should check out the Aslin thread, but I want to add that its in the South Atlantic subforum.

 

Can you shoot me a link? I can't seem to find it with the search feature
