But you save $7 per case.

OH doesn't ship their (superior to DC) NY beers to VA.

This is one of the best $pace takes as of late, that the beer coming from NYC is better than any of other half's othe offerings.

Are you agreeing, or being facetious? I can never 100% tell with you.  ;) I can't really take the credit for the take. I think Brennser has said it here first. And multiple people  have said it on Beer Advocate, including people from both NYC and DC.

BTW, I made it to Downtown Crown to pick up my beer yesterday. I had this stout my Burial. One of the best pastry stouts I've ever had. Super tasty, but not super sweet. 14% but didn't taste like it (but did feel like it.)

Also, I tried the first of the three different Other Half anniversary beers I picked up. Best OH DIPA I've had in a while. I usually am a citra  and usually don't go for the New Zealand hops so much, but this one rocks harder than Split Enz.

We do know that brennser's palate is very delicate, however, I don't agree… There's 20 frothy gravy IPAs on draft at all times at the DC location and I'd gaurantee you or breenser couldn't tell the difference if they were coming from BK or DC… kind of similar to that lossless vs. 320kps argument.

It says 14% of untappd and DigitalPour, I haven't seen any labels.

lies, all lies
what are we to believe

Their website says 14%.

The other two Burial imperial stouts DTC had on draft also said 14 (one was a barleywine/stout blend.)

true dat… i believe i've only ever tasted two of their beers, and this was 5+ years ago.  they were indeed high ABV, i don't remember the price, but i do remember liking them.  depending on the lineup, i'd be willing to chance it.

An Oskar Blues tap takeover wouldn't normally excite me, but looks like they're sending some big guns to Downtown Crown Friday. I know at least one boardie is a big fan of BBA Ten Fidy.

Six beers on tap including…
-Double Dale's Imperial IPA
-Western Mutant West Coast IPA
-Double Barrel-Aged Ten FIDY (Bourbon & Brandy)
-Double Barrel Ten FIDY (Port & Bourbon)
-Barrel Aged Three Wisemen Ten FIDY
-Double Barrel Ten FIDY (Four Roses & Appleton)
👀 Flights, full pours, and crowlers available on all!

I am… but not typically driving up 270 and getting bombed. Maybe I'll consider a vial pour.

I did just place an order for a few four packs, so maybe that will be a good pick up time!

I was going to add that though I was saying I was "excited", that doesn't mean I'm planning on going. I probably won't be (unless there's something I *have* to buy and pickup.)

The stouts will likely last until Sunday. The Burlal stouts did. They now serve the high abv stouts in 4 oz and 8 oz pours only (no more 16 oz pours of 14% beers.)

The old seasonal standbys are in at DTC as well-  Nugget Nectar and Hopslam.  FWIW…Cheers!

Has anybody checked out Juicy Brewing?  Initial reviews are good. https://untappd.com/JuicyBrewingCo It's in the same location as the original Aslin (good luck at not pissing off the neighbots like Aslin did.) So another beer plave 35 mins from my house.

looks really new, just posted this 30 mins ago

Juicy Brewing Co
Good news!
Starting this week (Feb 4th and 5th) everyone is welcome and can come into our hazy territory!
Taproom open to public for drinks and limited to go options.
Open hours (ongoing):
Friday 12 to 8pm
Saturday 12 to 8pm
Limited quantity of to go crowlers will be prefilled and available each day.

Serious question, do new or potential new breweries excite you at this point? I mean, we are at absolute peak beer in terms of where we live and what we have access to. There's at least a minimum of probably 10 above average breweries to support within a 30 mile radius of DC, maybe more? Plus shipments of essentially anything you want… Just curious as the option of another haze brewery gets me about as excited as going to Panera Bread in the Wheaton Mall.
