Notable Releases - DC/NOVA/MD

K-1 got it today I think.

 

Can anyone report what the canning date is on this shipment of Jai Alai?

 

Any Jai Alai at TW in NoVa? Maybe I'll have better luck on this one.

 

yes, check their website.

 

Norm's allotment was canned 9.15

 

Dominion got 9/15 as well. And should be selling more today

 

Got some Jai Alai today at TW and also 9/15/15 canning date. One six pack per customer at 10.99

 

TW Chantilly had bottles of Alpine Hoppy Birthday, Duet, and Nelson today, for those who might be interested

 

How much do they cost?

 

Dominion announced they had Alpine Nelson, Hoppy Birthday and Duet in bottles also. I'm pretty excited to know Alpine is hitting the area with more frequency and in bottles.

 

The Alpine bottles were like $8 at Dominion I think. Westover had a few cases of Jai Alai this morning - I don't know if there are limits.

 

Are these in Green Flash bottles w/ Alpine labels?

 

Yes. It's Alpine*.

 

So they finally started bottling! At least before, if you had a bottle you knew it was made at Alpine proper. Now, I wonder how they're differentiating between them. Same labels and everything?

 

The bottle is embossed with the Green Flash logo, there is no mistaking it (if you look at the bottle).

 

I tried to determine this, myself. The actual glass has "Green Flash" on it (I don't know the exact term, but the glass is somehow raised in the "Green Flash" logo). However, the label specifically says brewed and bottled by Alpine Beer Company in San Diego. Since that isn't Alpine, CA, I'm inclined to guess it's brewed and bottled by Green Flash.

I want to say $8, could be $7. Sorry for the bad memory.

I should note that these seem to be dropping all over NoVa. Dominion Wine and Beer and Red, White, and Bleu both got.

 

Any Alpine bottles we're getting on the East Coast are brewed and bottled at Green Flash. Same as draft. For what it's worth, I think they knocked Nelson out of the park. Hoppy Birthday was 90% right and I haven't had Duet in long enough to give a guess.

 

Deschutes 27th is out on shelf at P St. Whole foods.

 

Do the Alpine bottles have dates? I'd like to go pick a couple up but if they aren't dated I'll pass @ $8+ per.

 

They have "drink before" dates......the ones at Dominion were dated somewhere along the lines of "drink before March 2016." Not that anyone would advise drinking them 120 days out, but I assume they are pretty fresh at this point.
