The Beer Thread

I never use my 64 oz growlers anymore. Only 32 oz growlers from here on out.

And I only get something in a growler if it's either a fantastic buy or a limited draft only release.

I average two growlers a year.

In in the vein of continuing Julian's beer knowledge: what the hell is a growler?

I'm a tad concerned regarding your consumption this weekend.

A big jug where you can get draft beer poured into with usually a screw on cap.  Basically a way to get 64 oz of draft beer to take home with you to drink at your convenience.  I don't know why people are complaining about Maryland laws.  Because all the liquor stores around here will sell you growlers full of beer and so do the breweries.

so would I bring my own jug thing or do they rent it to me?

You buy the jug and reuse. I imagine you can get one at Whole Foods in Richmond.

Dear Lord, I don't wonder to that hippie part of town off on the west end!

I got a growler yesterday of DC Brau's new DIPA Solar Abyss. It's really good and very well balanced for 10% alcohol. I hope they still have some next weekend.

You are like a walking advertisement for Whole Foods.  Perhaps that is why you don't have money for a car.  Store that charges 20+ percent more for the same item as every other grocery store in the area.  Plus the stores are way too small.   I can only imagine how awkward getting growlers filled at a Whole Foods would be.   They do have a decent cheese selection which I would say is their one redeeming quality.

Just moved from DC to Alexandria, where are the best(wide selection,not crazy pricey) stores to buy "good" beer? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[James Ford]

Total Wine and Whole Foods. I can't think of anything else. Rick's used to be good, but they closed.

The internetz says Unwined.  Never been there.  Looks spendy.

Thanks for the recommendations. I hit up Total Wine and was pretty stoked about the selection and prices, plus I found a Thai restaurant nearby that was pretty good called Rice and Spice. Unwined is pretty close to me so I will have to give it a look at some point.
