I am looking to buy some fresh Union Jack and Double Jack in the Baltimore area. Visits to Wine Source and Well's (two best places I know) only had Union Jack bottled in late September. Is this about as fresh as I can expect to find in the area, or is it simply a matter of finding when it is delivered and buying soon after? Also, anyone know how Wookey Jack holds up with age? I passed on a bomber from late August today, not sure if I made the right call.
The last time I drank some Wookey, it tasted fantastic after being in my cellar for a few months. I'd give it a shot. Cheers!
Do bottles of the more "standard" Firestone beers (DBA, Pale 31, Oaktoberfest, Easy Jack, etc...) ever make it to the DC area?
That's a "no." Union jack more often now than a year ago. Double Jack, dates can be really spotty in both formats, but it's usually available. Wookey jack 4pks are showing up, 22s are out there. Porter 22s once a year it seems, Opal has shown up once as well. Then one 6pk of the BA'd stuff per account, per release. Pretty weird distribution strategy if you ask me.
