The Beer Thread

DC Brau just announced that they'll be year-round canning Penn Quarter Porter from now on.  Available at Growler Hours on Saturday.

Also, not sure if this was known or not.. but I just found out, OTWOA will be brewed and canned every two months, with the next batch being brewed on Monday.

Also, here's the draft/growler fill list for tomorrow:
Public
Corruption
Citizen
PQP
Tasters Choice (Coffee Dopplebock)
Colliding Hempispheres (Belgo-American Brown Ale)
Yonder Cities (Farmhouse IPA)
Seasons

I'm unfamiliar with that last one.

got to be north of Baltimore tomorrow morning, looking to grab a beer and some lunch on my way back.  any recommendations? i've got to park in the city, and all that non-sense.  would like to get a growler fill too, if that's a thing to do.

Brewers Art is definite stop if you haven't been there before.  They have great beer.  And if you are there you might as well go around the corner to the OWL Bar.  Great history to that place.  They don't make their own beer but they have a nice beer list with Union Craft  beer on the menu.

Heavy Seas Alehouse has good food and beer selection if you like Heavy Seas Beer.

If you want to go to the cool Hampden area visit golden west they have good beer and food.

Where'd you find details on Wings being canned every two months? I guess that was smart of them to not make it available at all times if they want to continue to charge $18 a sixer for it.

It was just a mention on facebook lastnight.  They were teasing they'd add something to the year round canned lineup today and everyone was hoping it was OTWOA and one of their responses was that OTWOA was already in cans and they would be brewing it every two months.

Edit:  The post directly beneath that one on Facebook is about them giving away tickets to Ghost at the 930 during growler hours on May 11th.  More importantly, it states that this is also the date of the next OTWOA release at the brewery.

I just remembered Brewers Art doesn't open until 4PM.  There is also Max's on Broadway in fells point they carry about 100 beers on tap I believe.  And Pratt Street Ale House which is downtown. 

Wharf Rat in Fells is also fun.  They sell mostly Oliver Beers, but I like them.

Got to drink two 9oz pours of KBS at Fairfax Whole Foods yesterday. $5 per pour, in a plastic cup.
The keg kicked in 36 minutes.

ended up checking out max's taphouse on saturday night.

any place with 3 berliner weisse's on draft is alright with me.

I'll bet the vast majority of Max's patrons don't know what a berliner weisse is.

they do seem to have a seriously ambitious draft list that doesn't quite match the clientele. 

whoah….

Stone Enjoy By 5.17.13 is coming to VA.

Given that that date is our 10th anniversary, that bottle will definitely be added to my bottle collection.

i wish heady topper would come to va.  i wish i wasnt an asshole.

Will never happen. When most of your sales are people driving to your brewery and purchasing multiple cases at a time (and the rest is to ship it locally within 30 miles), why would you spend the money to ship it  far away?

I gotta say I'm pretty disappointed with those bottles. I had the 4/1/13 a few weeks ago and it was mediocre at best.

The same thing I do. Just keep being yourself.

Head to DC Brau during the next canning of Wings, definitely the closest beer in a few hundred mile radius that has similarities to Heady.

Pratt Street Ale House I guess is Oliver's brew house?  I am not sure but they have twenty versions of Oliver beer on draft.  Good place to stop after a game.
