Notable Releases - DC/NOVA/MD

Try Whole Foods Foggy Bottom

 

Perhaps not super fresh, but it doesn't seem to have a significant drop-off. Don't regret picking it up.

 

Outside DC - it's good, but not worth either of those drives.

 

Has anyone seen Rye on Rye lingering in the Baltimore area? I missed it at my local store

 

Anyone know the date on the current batch of Wings?

 

9/15

 

How's it holding up? Im debating a trip up there on Fri/Sat to grab some.

 

Its drinking great, I think Wings holds up very well, especially if refrigerated the whole time, which they do at the brewery.

 

You know, I agree with this wholeheartedly. I actually prefer OTWOA with about 4 or 5 weeks on it. Fresh, it's super dank and still delicious, but with a month or so on it, it mellows slightly and just becomes this chrysanthemum of joy.

 

I like it better fresh, but I know others who prefer this beer with a few weeks on it. Definitely still a very good beer at one month old.

 

Saw BA narwhal in VA total wine today

 

Fresh Wings is incredible. I bought a three six packs of the 9/15 batch and drank my last two cans tonight. They were still delicious, but not quite as juicy as they were 2-3 weeks ago.

 

Any insight on any bars having harvest ale or a bourbon county draft offerings within the next month?

 

I would concur. I recently finished up my last one from a sixer that was canned in mid August. I love dank beers so fresh it was pure joy. Held onto some cans and tried at 5 weeks and then the final one at 8 weeks. Still very good throughout!

 

Anyone know of the bottle limit for trickery? I am debating on making the trip.

 

We'll have Harvest at Meridian Pint later this week.

 

Looks like your in the district but Foster's Grille in Chantilly had Harvest on Saturday. First time I went there and was surprised by the draft list.

 

Hill Farmstead just registered this as a beer name. Expect a C&D letter, John.

 

No word yet that I have seen. I'm guessing HW, will at the very least, announce additional details about the release early next week.

 

Did I hear right that Trickery is going to go into distro this year? I've generally been disappointed with Hardywood's BA offerings in the past, but this seems like a beer that was actually made to age in barrels vs. their usual base beer + 3-4 months in barrels for the hell of it formula.
