surly doesn't distribute to DC... does it?

Negative, but I get it shipped to me. 

jerk.

last month, conn liquors in dupont had surly in. wasn't terribly priced, either. that was pretty cool, maybe they get more.

I popped into conn liquors for the first time in a year two weeks ago and he said they no longer get Pliny (which was over priced in there anyway), but I was going to buy a bottle that evening if they had it.

o st liquors across from pizza p has it.  $29.99 - no joke.

Pffffffffffft.... I'd maybe pay half that. The last time I bought Pliny at Conn Liquors was last summer and I think it was $11.99

yah, all their prices there are high, but that ... that's just ridiculous.

i saw Pliny at Conn Liquors a while back, it was either $20 or $30... and it was several months old.

Who's going to the Shirlington Beer Fest? That's where I'm spending my birthday weekend at.

[James Ford]

I think you are referring to the Cap City Oktoberfest in Shirlington (?)

Nope, not going.

Had half of a Westvleteren 8 last night. Soooo good. Now the anticipation builds until I crack the Westy 12.

[James Ford]

I'm not a fan of the style, nor am I really a fan of Bell's, but this went very well with the sweet potato chili I made last night.

you should really tilt the glass a little more when pouring

So, uh, at the risk of getting stuff thrown at me for this beer being lame (as though all beer isn't lame white-trash crap by default  ), I need to know if Founders Coffee Stout is available yet.

[James Ford]

Look for it in October. I know I will be. It's definitely not lame.

What is lame is that Founders announced they were moving it from four packs to six packs and keeping it at the same price. Then months later they announced they had changed their minds on that decision.

So, uh, at the risk of getting stuff thrown at me for this beer being lame (as though all beer isn't lame white-trash crap by default  ), I need to know if Founders Coffee Stout is available yet.

[sweetcell]

nothing from Founders is lame.  i'm not the biggest fan of the All Day IPA, but everything else in their line-up varies from solid to superlative.

FYI, their coffee stout is called "Breakfast Stout" (made with coffee and oatmeal... and chocolate).

even when it comes to lowly beer, you have impeccable taste.
