Cantillon announced churchkey as its DC location for zwanze day, September 14.  Nothing on CK site yet.

It was a disaster last year. Unless they sell tickets this year, I won't be going back.

Yes, had it on draft for beer week and picked up a 6 pack last weekend. I'm not a fan of Flying Dog, but this one is outstanding. It's probably the best beer of theirs I've tried and one of the best cheap DIPAs out there ($12/6).

Where did you pick up a six pack from and are there any left?

Debating what to tailgate with for the Terps game on Saturday. Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold might be the winner here.

I picked up Flying Dog's The Truth two days ago at perfect pour.  They had a few left.  Very nice dipa.

Are you guys changing your font sizes?  My posts appear smaller on my screen.

Thanks guys. My wife just picked up a sixer of the Truth at P Street.

Now is that something i can bring over to a friends for snacks and beers? My wife says "DIPA's" aren't for everyone."

But what beer is? These friends brought a sixer of porters to our house last time. Good, but not our favorite. If they had brought Fat Tire or Brooklyn Lager, that totally wouldn't have been for everyone either. Everyone being my wife and I.

Should one have to tamper down your tastes if you're bringing over beer to a non-beer geek friends house?

If you're bringing something to a friend's house, I find it a nice gesture to bring something you'd think they would like/enjoy.

Also, if there are four of you, you should be bringing more than one six pack, so bring one that you know they'd like and if you want to bring a sixer of something fancy for you and wife, then do it.

There are four of us, but none of us are alcoholics. So a sixer will probably suffice.  Also, one person just had a baby and is nursing, so likely not drinking anything at all.

Also, we are bringing all the food, so they'll likely supply some beer as well. And it won't be catered to our tastes based on past experience.

If you drink more than 1.5 beers you're considered an alcoholic?

I hope you're bringing some mashed potatoes to that party!
