they're opening a facility that will more than quadruple their output. how can that not increase you chances of tasting it some day? trades, people coming back from VT trips, special events in bars here, etc…

Why not just drive to VT some weekend? Or fly - tickets are cheap on SW

but there is always hope or dope if that doesn't work

We split a Waldo last night. Four thumbs up from us. Bought two six packs, might have to get more if i can find it.
ugh, i'm hoping i can find some today. i haven't had a chance to go looking yet.
so i picked up two sixers on wednesday. i'm halfway through the first one, and i'm not particularly impressed. amazing aroma but the taste is only OK. i'm getting some alcohol heat, some astringency and something that i can only describe as the taste of turpentine (even though i've never actually tasted it, only smelled it). none of these characteristics aren't so strong as to make the beer undrinkable, but they detract from my enjoyment. i had two last night, over 3 hours, and it was a slog. glad i got to taste this beer but one six-pack would have been enough.

Picked up some Waldo yesterday. This is my first new favorite beer in a very long time, I'll be sad to see it go. Love the bright tangerine / mango / pineapple mashup right in the middle of all those hops. Well balanced, hides the 12% blast. I may have another tonight…
where did you find it?

I got some more at Schneiders in Cap Hill yesterday for $11.99/six pack. They still had a decent amount left.
I bought it at <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Quench!+Craft+Beer+%26+Wine/@39.0765724,-77.0032002,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x89b7c55a87f41bff:0x94c56b922f1a070a">Quench</a>;, though I probably paid too much for it.
They also still had it (Waldo) as of yesterday at Total Wine Fairfax for $11.99, $10.99 if you have the coupon.
If you're into drinking beer for the sake of getting drunk, that seems like a prety awesome price point for a 11.5% six pack.

Im drinking. Halfway, to drunk. Gurl.

the Brew Shop said DC brau had issues with selling the cans in VA
so they have all of them on draft!
only bummer was they only had Perennial Pink Pallet Jack on tap tonight
She said they were going to rotate the kegs until the kick
which one should I get a growler off? (they also have those 16 oz growlers)
also saw Devil's backbone had this
Had this tonight and am a very satisfied customer
oh and walkie…after a few of these EG's I'm wit ya

That Cran-Gose is by far my favorite Devil's Backbone beer. I enjoyed a sixer of that and a four pack of Victory Kirsch Gose last weekend. Mmm mmm.
Shared the DC Brau pack with friends tonight.
The rye DIPA and the imperial stout were both home runs. Wish they'd make them regular beers.
Also had a Waldo side by side with a Wings, and i ting Waldo took it. L just wish Waldo was 8% with that much flaor.

Yeah had some at the Fest and thought it was good, not as good as the Victory
just love that tart cherry
Cap city had a gose on tap…meh
So ended up having some really good brews
Adroit Theory's both offerings were great and I had more than one of each:
White noise IPA was a stand out
The Imagination Atrophy - Caramel Macchiato Milk Stout was possibly my favorite of the day
Mustang Sally's Porter was really good with excellent body and flavor (look out for these guys, nothing crazy, sticking to traditional styles but making them well)
Three stars - Dissonance (Berliner Style Rye) besides the Gose's this was the only sour offering, but I loved it
Full tilt - Hops the cat was very satisfying and would certainly get that if available
honorable mention
Spencer Devon's - The Chimney's Wee Heavy (scotch ale)
Tin Cannon's - Cavalier Joe Porter
Rock Bottom's - Milk Stout
Heavy Sea's - Loose Cannon Hop3 IPA (barrel aged)
DB - Cran Gose
picked up a growler of this
and love it!
(WF arl….mostly because they had the Cigar / DC brau colab on tap at arlbrew, but got there at 5:19 and was denied by a closed sign…so headed to WF to see what I could find)
Used to run for the hills with these fruity beers, but keep finding ones I love
just love the tartness

Picked up a 32 oz crowler of Aslin Mind the Hops for $12. Then two 32 oz growlers of Ocelot Home @Whole Foods for $5 each. Both fantastic beers. Mind the Hops is my favorite Aslin DIPA, and Home is the best Ocelot beer I've had. Damn, I've got a lot of beer to drink.
didn't make it to aslin on the way back from charlottesville, however we did have dinner saturday night at the Pro Re Nata Brewery. their BBA'ed imperial stout was awesome, the IPA was really good, the belgian pale was kinda forgettable, and the cherry bock was good for what is was supposed to be (sweet bocks really aren't my thing). good place to bring kids, lots of room for them to run around. i wouldn't make a trip down there just for this brewery, but it's a solid choice if you're in the area.
a few weekends ago i went to afriend's wedding where several craft beers were being served, but 3 Star's peppercorn saison ruled the roost. seemed like that was all that anyone was drinking. i don't think i had ever had it before. glad to have had an evening of unlimited sampling, greatly enjoyed it.

Given the reason for your trip (if I'm recalling correctly), seemed like Champion would have been the fitting brewery to hit (assuming there was success???)…but it sounds like PRN is a definite must hit if we're down that way at some point…
