    I'm driving from Amherst MA to Jacksonville FL later this week and need people's suggestions on where to go to grab some beer (no draft since im driving). I'm taking 95 all the way down and am particularly interested in some Foothills stuff (particularly the Baltic Porter) and Duck Rabbit stuff (esp Rabbit duck if its still around). Additionally, I'm not sure how much lips of Faith makes it out there but I'd be interested and, finally, I'm open to ideas or suggestions from any other brewery as well. I'm not opposed to making a couple hour trip away from 95 to get what I want.
    Cheers?

    Foodery in Philly.
    Stateline at MD/DE line.
    Once Upon A Vine North Richmond.
    Tasty Beverage or Bottle Revolution in Raleigh (you'll have to go a bit west of 95 for Raleigh).

    sure someone else can fill in holes.

    I will add The Perfect Pour in Elkridge, MD to the list. They have a huge selection and get a bonus point for being next to a Fatburger.

    I thought about mentioning Perfect Pour but they aren't likely to have anything that StateLine doesn't and PPs prices are much more expensive. I guess it's possible that PP still has a Rare on the shelf though (they were asking $90 for it last summer...)

    I didn't get to stop at Stateline on my last trip because they were not open when we were passing through. I have heard great things about them though.

    Micky Finns in Florence, SC. Goose is the beer buyer and he knows his stuff. They get a lot of our rarer/allocated items. It is not far off the highway at all.

    distance - if he's not opposed to side trips, why bother with micky finns when he can just hit cbx?

    If you take the Capital Beltway (495) north around Washington, DC instead of south, Norm's Beer & Wine (136 Branch Road Southeast, Vienna, VA 22180) is a few miles west from the Beltway, just off Maple Avenue. Chain Bridge Road is the exit for Tysons Corner, Virginia (Exit 46A to merge onto VA-123 South/​Chain Bridge Road). Take Chain Bridge Road west and it becomes Maple Avenue in Vienna.
