The Beer Thread

I love Carlos spicyweiner.  And I think, nugget nectar is overrated.

Fixed that for you.

Decided to attend Savor for the first time this year, tickets went on sale at noon today.

paging NoVa beer nerds:

what are the good bottle shops in northern VA?  someone is looking for sours… which stores might have some?

danke

Arrowine
Lee Heights Shops, 4508 Lee Hwy, Arlington, VA 22207

Lost Dog in N. Arlington

a few blocks from there is a place that carries probably 100 different bombers in stock
K-1 Daily Store
Address: 2516 Columbia Pike, Arlington, VA 22204

Arrowine definitely carries a lot of sours

Total Wine always has sours. Chantilly location does anyway… I got the last bottle of "K is for Kriek" there. Twas tasty.

Wall of Beer en Westover….muy cerca del Lost Dog (justo enfrente)

Selection is great, but prices are steep and the beer has often been on the shelf quite some time.

The Boulevard Tank 7 won the 2015 WaPo Beer Madness competition. Never tried.  Thoughts?

Is Milwaukee's Best really the best beer from Milwaukee?

Shockingly cheap …$5 a 12 pack…

I don't know that I like it much though…

I'm talking about Milwaukee's Best Premium just to be clear

it's a above average saison, nothing really unique about it but it's a nice beer.

acquiring a bottle of yellow rose IPA next week.  anyone tried it? the texas IPA fanboys have basically made this thing out to be the headytopper of texas.

Love you, carlos

it's a very good saison, one of the first that got me into the style.  one of the reasons it won is because of how widely available it has become… people will vote for what they know.

meh, i must spend too much on beer.  $12 for 4 bottles of quality 9% beer doesn't seem that noteworthy to me.  it's $11 at Total Wine.

Love you more, sweetcell
