    Will this be the year that everyone gets sick of overly sweet syrupy stouts?

    Seems that way. Total Wine here in Alexandria had dozens of CBS sitting around.

    Also, not quite DMV, but we made the drive up to Dirt Farm Brewing yesterday and I can safely say I've never been to a brewery with a better view than you will get there. Absolutely stunning from their patio. Beer was solid, but the view was worth the trip alone.

    I sure as hell hope so, but no I don’t think so.

    Have you been to Kloster Andechs, Banff Brewing, or Pelican Brewpub?

    I tried it at the brewery but didn't take detailed notes. It was good, but I prefer Partly Cloudy.

    Yea, I had a can last night. I really enjoyed it. It's juicy with a little dankness, but clean. I like their hoppy beers more than Aslin nowadays.

    I wasn't that impressed with Partly Cloudy and Sun's Out, but their one offs have been really good, most notably Super Dope

    Hi All,

    I sadly missed the drop but does anyone know of any stores that have Commonwealth Marviloso variants still available?

    Happy New Year!

    Two recent IPAs from local breweries that really impressed me: Solace/Meridian Pint's Cheat Day and Ocelot's Moonlight Drive. I've had a lot of great IPAs recently (Treehouse, Monkish, Veil, etc) and these are right up there.

    Anyone want some 6 bottle shippers? I have 3 upright and 2 horizontal which are in average condition. I wouldn’t be opposed to trading these for a couple of fresh IPAs but not a requirement. I am local to Arlington and work in College Park.

    Best IPAs I've had in 2019: Triple Crossing Bright Lights, Ocelot Gorgeous & Alone, Solace Cheat Day (obvious bias)

    3 day old Hopslam has hit town. Seems a bit cheaper than year's past too.
