re: Let's talk ~~microbrews~~ good beer

Had a draft at the Silver Diner last night called Raven Beer ,not bad .

re: Let's talk ~~microbrews~~ good beer

Anyone scored one of the Sierra Nevada "Beer Camp" 12's?? My buddy found one at the total wine, now I'm on the hunt. Pretty cool idea, teamed up with 12 different breweries and are selling all 12 different brews in a limited time 12 pack. There's also a few tour stops across the country this summer. Shocker no DC love.

Re: Let's talk good beer

i couldnt find anything bells, ballast point or russian river from fenwicks or max's tap house this weekend. after reading about the sly fox ipa on here and trying and loving it, i am trying to break out of my flying dog shell.

was really looking forward to trying something from russian river and thought for sure Max's would have it ...

firestone walker union jack ipa - good, a little to smooth and not hoppy enough for me

firestone walked double jack - really good, had a draft at max's. i think i prefer double ipas over ipas at this point

laughing ipa - had from cask, it was okay. didnt taste like an IPA ..

anyone know where i can find some russian river around the DMV?

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I get your beer?

Follow this link to see a list of our accounts, but keep in mind that some accounts may not always have our beer.

Do you ship directly to consumers from your brewery?

No, we do not. We have done so in the past, but liquor laws are getting more and more complicated in the “reciprocal” shipping states. But the main reason is we just don’t have enough beer!

I have a store / restaurant / wholesaler and would like to carry your beer. How can I do that?

We are currently not able to accept any new accounts or distributors at this time. We are having a difficult time keeping up with demand as it is! There are certainly worse problems to have ;-) Both breweries are at capacity now and we are planning to stay the course for a while - pay off some bills, focus on beer quality, and keep the investors happy!

Are you planning to expand your brewery to meet such high demand?

We have been growing organically each year since we opened and have mostly reached capacity at both breweries. At this time, we have no plans for any major expansions. Our focus is on quality not quantity!

SO thats the problem. They have a distributor in Philly

The only time that ive had their beer is from my uncle in Maryland who is a 25 year home brewer who beer trades through the mail with folks from the west coast. He's also made Pliney clones which are damn tasty

Re: Let's talk good beer

i clicked on the link you posted, then clicked on the philly distributor and it looks like they dist to about 50 different places around there.

not that i noticed. 75% were in philly, then the rest were towns i never heard of. i assume they are all PA.

Re: Let's talk good beer

Good luck finding it. It's been selling out almost as soon as places get it. Plus it's quite expensive at 25 bucks a 12 pack. Some are very good some are very average. I'm about halfway through mine now.

Re: Let's talk good beer

Think ive seen founders all day ipa mentioned on here. Picked some up last night. Looking forward to tasting all six tonight.

Oh man my brother in law bought some of those over last summer. I tried one and almost kicked him out. Not a fan. Lol.
Edit: the regular chub, cant imagine a souped up version!
