Hey everyone my brother will be visiting reletives in D.C. And then on to Richmond. He can carry two six packs or four bombers. I was wondering what good readily availabe beer should i pick up? I like all styles. Cheers from Chicago!
Agreed, Hardywood is about the only answer here. Not sure what large format bottles they have right now though. Check out their site. http://www.hardywood.com/tasting-room
oh i'd also add any Williamsburg Alewerks bombers you can find (along with their pumpkin ale) at total wine or once upon a vine
the good Alewerks bombers (BB Porter, Cafe Royale, Bitter Valentine) are pretty much long gone at this point. their Pumpkin Ale is one of the only ones I actually like and is just now hitting the market. Center of the Universe has a decent hoppy bomber available in RVA shops, PocaHOPtus. Hardywood has quite a few bottles available, best selection is at the brewery compared to shops. their new tasting room setup makes for a bit of confusion as they now have 3 tasting rooms split over 2 buildings (2 inside and 1 outside). 1 room may have bottles a, b, c while another room may have bottles b, c, x and the third room may have a, c, y and z and there is little notice as to what room has what bottles (or even draft offferings...)
Lost Rhino out the other side of Dulles. Mad Fox growler fill 5 miles SW of DC. Port City close in towards Alexandria 3 miles south of DC.
He will be in D.C. from the 17th until the 23rd I would love to be able to get wings! I wish I had abduction. That's hard to come by when you're not an fwb.
I haven't had any beer from DC brau, what do you recommend that would be available in a bomber or 12oz? he cant carry a growler in his bag.
Most of the DC Brau beers are pretty solid, imo. Depends on what style you want but I'd reccomend any of the following: OTWOA (brewery only) Corruption Public Penn Quater Porter El Hefe Speaks All these are in 6 packs of 12oz cans (or singles at some shops), not sure what is available in bombers
