The Beer Thread

Just went to Magruders and did a thorough search for hopslam.  Unless they're hiding it, they're sold out.

really? the magruders in Ch Ch? I was there at about 7pm last night and they had at least 10 cases on the floor and (so they said) more in back?

I guess its not out of the bounds of possibility but I'm pretty surprised

Yes, I probably could have asked but I have some hopslam at home already so no big deal

The Fairfax Whole Foods sold out of all 25 cases in a matter of hours on Tuesday. They had a one case limit per customer, and apparently everyone was getting a case. Or so I surmised from their facebook page.

I got three six packs in all from two different locations, neither at the aforementioned WF.

Wow, where is this?  Funny that with such a great beer selection, they still pander to tasteless hipsters with PBR.

this awesome restaurant way out in the "boonies" according to most, i'm sure, in the dc area . . . called the local chop and grill house, harrisonburg, va.

i'd say they rival most of the places we've tried in dc.

Address
56 West Gay Street

Which Guinness provides the best medicine?  Hope it's the Foreign Extra Stout.  Regular Extra Stout would be good, too.  Draft out of the can……meh.  Easily the least of all the Guinesses.

No, that would be "draft" out of the bottle.  It's really terrible now!  No widget anymore, just strange carbonation.

Oops, I meant bottle.  Awful stuff.

man i was confused, though i tend to get murphy's when there is a choice
