the Whole Foods in Foggy Bottom has been, until recently, my main beer buying destination. this past summer they lost their beer buyer (now working at P Street) and the selection of beer has suffered. it's not horrible, but is no longer spectacular. draft options just hasn't been as good. my guy isn't there anymore to hold bottles for me, give me advance notice when the good stuff is coming in, etc. while shopping there today i asked the shelf-stocker (new beer guy?) if they had received Sucaba, fully expecting him to tell me that it came and went in under an hour 2 weeks ago. instead i walked outta there with their last bottle. yeay me.
recently tried the sam adams nitro coffee stout in a can. meh. it's fine but just doesn't have much going on. maybe it's because i'm used to stouts with coffee being imperial, this one clocks in at "only" 5.8%.
