Notable Releases - DC/NOVA/MD

Lizard of Koz showing up all over NoVA.

 

Did Michigan Maple Jesus ever touch down in Maryland? I bought a bottle in NY in October and have been looking for more ever since...

 

I saw Canton Crossing had it and Shawan Liquors had a case yesterday.

 

I was talking to one of the guys at a local bottle shop last night about this and it sounds like it's more of a distribution issue. He said his distributor will get it in for weeks at a time by the case, maybe get sixtels of lunch and then he won't see Maine for another 2 months.

 

Agree with the above statement. I love Ten Fidy as it was one of my gateway beers into the craft beer world but the BA Ten Fidy is just average. Similarly, I would not chase it but if it were on the shelves somewhere I would give it a second try.

 

Thanks for the information!

 

Plenty of World Wide Stout at Lighthouse Liqours in Baltimore. Actually saw 2 Maine Another One as well.

 

I found Jesus (Michigan Maple Jesus) at WFP today. Not sure that they've finished unloading, so you may need to ask them if you don't see it.

 

It's at Connecticut Ave Wine & Liquors

 

Eh, Yes and no. Premium brings in products on an everyday basis that are extraordinarily expensive.

They're bringing in Wicked Weed sours at $285 1/6. To give you some context, Bourbon County kegs typically come in at $204 1/6.

While the majority of the Premium staff does not sell this stuff, the folks who do are trained better than any other major distributor I've ever worked with.;

Premium is not afraid of expensive product. My guess is they made their decision based on how WW Stout bottles sold the last time they brought it in. At least in an on-premise setting, bottles are dying. Even if offered, I would not have purchased any bottles of his lot.

Saw it at TW Ballston yesterday at the customer service desk.

 

Noticed a "For Rent" sign in the Pipetown Traders window today. Trouble in paradise?

 

PSA - Lizard of Koz is only $16 at WF Old Town. Probably not going to find it much cheaper than that.

 

It's not DC, but TW McLean had several cases of WWS as recently as two days ago.

 

yep - always some gems there, but definitely check out the dates as they are also always some shelf turds

 

A few beer hunting notes:

They had a bunch of MT Trueland at Conn Ave. Curiously all the dates were smudged (8/22). I'll let you guys make up your mind on that. Lizard was $20.

WFP has Michigan Maple in the back $11, Collage 2 $26, and three Capt Lawrence sours at $13. Sunday Mole on tap for $7.

 

Stopped in at TW Ballston - Lizard of Koz, WW Stout, Trip in the Woods, available and very disorganized.

 

Norms had Lizard of Koz and Bruery Share This Mole

 

What was TW charging for Koz?
