Hypeslam starting to hit town.


Cans only this year. Split a case with a buddy  ($62).  Bottling date 1/28/16.  It's excellent!  Worth the hype this year IMHO.  Gets better as it warms.  No syrupy sweet presence like last couple years....and the buzz....  It's more like the feel after a session with hop's cousin than your typical DIPA head.

so . . . what's on tap for your super bowl?

mine is as follows,

growler of troegs nugget nectar and a growler of victory 20th anniversary ipa or Deschutes red chair nwpa.

Got a growler of Ocelot Talking Backwards and it further justifies that they might be the best brewery in the DMV right now.

Had a serving of this beer at Smoke and Barrel Wed night. Motherfucker is the real deal.

It's already been said, but yeah... this beer is outstanding. Those Aslin beers are just as good as this, if not better... one of the only times in my life I wished I lived out on 66 somewhere. I'd be hitting that brewery up weekly for fresh fills! It's about time the DC area starts putting out beers that can compete with the NE hops. I can only hope the quality control keeps these beers in check.

Sidehutch, hop on your bike immediately and get out there.

I highly doubt I'll even try hopslam this year, nor does it even come close the flavor profile I enjoy anymore. I was pretty excited to have some fresh Lunch in my fridge, but my pallet has been taken over by beers with that tropical juice bomb feeling. Ahh yeah, brah.

I went to Aslin and Ocelot last weekend. I liked the current IPAs at Aslin a little more than Ocelot, but both excellent. I also checked out the Sovereign this week and had a Lou Pepe Kriek. Their bottle list is amazing. They limit the rare stuff to 1 bottle per group. It would have been a very expensive trip otherwise.

Beltway Brewing in Sterling is having a tap takeover by Grimm (from Brooklyn) this weekend, if that means anything to any of you.

I hope you were wearing a diaper when you read those per ounce prices.

I didn't see prices. Can't make it out that way Fri or Sat anyway.

Hoping to hit Aslin for the first time Sunday. Hope they still have their IPA's flowing. Perfect Valentine refreshment for my hophead wife.

Pricey compared to Ocelot



I think I may prefer the amazing artfully rendered beer board at Aslin

The cheapest growler fill at $31 does not make Space or me for that matter happy. I won't be partaking and was considering it.

Space, I saw Aslin posting about their DIPAs running low the other day, i'm guessing they won't be around Sunday (unless they brewed another one).
