It wasn't a bottle share, so it wasn't a contest to bring anything rare, but Stella and Blue Moon? That's not even making an effort!

these are the same people who, if asked to bring cheese to a party, would show up with kraft singles and velveeta.

I had a good friend in college who did that
these girls were always throwing  a "wine and cheese party" and he showed up with MadDog 20/20 and Cheeze Wiz
and they were always gone by the end of the night

Big long article on Aslin here. They get into their current state of affairs toward the end of the article.

I noticed yesterday on social media they were doing "upgrades" at their current location... seems like a waste of time and energy to do upgrades only to move in the very near future.

note: I have not read that article above just yet, so maybe the reasoning is mentioned in there.

Seems the tune changes daily. I think I'm done with Aslin until they either start canning decently priced four or six packs, and/or have a nicer taproom to hang out in and drink a pint.

My only experience with Aslin was their clusterf*ck of a bottle release a few weeks ago. Given how much of a schlep it is from my house, I'm waiting until they actually figure out wtf they're doing till I head back down there.

'This Friday (today), Jailbreak will serve up $5 pints of its latest brew, Ephemeral Volume I. This New England-inspired IPA boasts a medley of tropical fruit, peach, tangerine, and subtle hints of dark pine that is sure to be the winter favorite of hoppy beer lovers.'

here's the best story that i've found on the Aslin move: http://www.dcbeer.com/news/aslin-announces-move-herndon-installs-new-brewhouse.  sounds like the city told them one thing, but the fire marshall has different ideas - and his rules override the city's. 

their production should be increased by now thanks to a new brewhouse, so Space: soon it should be easier to get their stuff?

Nice.   I read about that this morning. Interesting concept. Not at all interested in a machine that dispenses their products, tho.
