    A new thread every month seems silly.

    Anyone seen a new batch of OTWOA cans around DC?

    They just released a fresh batch yesterday, I believe. You'll probably have to go to the brewery to get some.

    I picked up a case yesterday. Canned on 7/31. I also believe it is brewery only.

    I picked up a case today and they said they have plenty in the back. So they might still have some Wednesday when they open back up.

    I saw about 12 bottles of ruination at Old Line on Saturday.

    Anyone have a chance to try Manor Hills 'splendor' (citra dipa)? Good aroma and flavor, but I have never seen a beer with such turbidity. Light gold in color but an impenetrable haze that makes it look like gold milk. I love unfiltered beers, but this is too much and frankly off putting. Personally, I can't wait until the market becomes fully saturated and those who half-ass it, lack imagination or don't treat their customers right start to feel the squeeze.

    Pretty sure 99% of the time cans are brewery only

    Anyone know if Helldorado has hit shelves yet?

    Another dumb question, sorry I just moved to DC: can you find cans of Union Craft around here?

    Do Firestone's Proprietor's Vintage Series actually hit shelves here? I've seen Velvet Merkin once, and that's it.

    Whole Foods P St usually has a full selection; they're also the best bottleshop in DC.

    I have had two pours of it and haven't been terribly impressed so far. The haziness didn't really bother me. I thought that was similar to Treehouse/Trillium stuff. Those beers seem to have an intense amount of flavor/aroma hops and a higher amount of residual sugars, resulting in a juicy flavor. It seems that's what Manor Hill is going for with Citra Splendor. The pours I've had have been a little too dry and not hoppy enough, in the aroma/flavor department. I like the concept but they definitely haven't nailed it yet. I did enjoyed their IPA though. I love Mosaic!

    Got some very fresh Heady Topper (7/30 release) up for trade if anyone is interested. Looking for Mexican Cake in particular, but will consider others.

    While I only know about MD's distro, I was told this evening Helldorado is expected next week or even the week after that even though some store owners were originally told the end of July. As usual, Firestone is slow getting out here. I had Helldorado in St. Louis this weekend, and I don't think it's as good as Parabola/Sucaba/Velvet Merkin/Stickee. It's thick and super sweet and not as complex. I know everyone will still go nuts for bottles, but I'm not sure it's worth all that much effort (Sucaba on the other hand..........).

    So you're saying that the color of an impenetrable very very light golden hue latte is what they were going for? Because you couldnt see through this with a maglight.

    To a certain extent, yes. I was saying that they're going for that fruit juice hoppy character that often results in a cloudier beer. That has started to become the description of NE hoppy beers, cloudy/juicy. I don't think they had a target level of cloudiness but more that they aren't worried about it.
