I think a combination of multiple factors... They're still getting NYC beer shipped down here + from what I can tell, OHDC sales appear to be crappy and they're sending their beer north + other stores starting to also have other half cans which takes away the lure of needing to get DTC + how much haze can one consume.

Gaithersburg might suck but DTC is literally right off 270.

from Sapwood's FB:

Our last can release of the year is this Saturday, so we wanted to make it special! We'll have the "Max" version of Snip Snap (9.3% ABV with extra hops in the kettle and dry hop). We'll also have Cheater Hops #15 a 7.1% IPA with Strata, Simcoe, and Mosaic! Pre-sales for the Snip Snap Max/Cheater Hops #15 Can Release will start Friday afternoon. Both beers will also be on tap starting Friday if you want to sample them and miss the rush!


(if someone could pick up a 4-pack of the SS Max and CH#15 and ship them to me, that would be greeeeeeeat...)

If your parole papers stipulate that you can't leave Virginia, OHDC has been shipping to Dominion in Falls Church. But they're only shipping their i(allegedly) inferior DC beers. Nothing from BKN or FLX. You'll have to drive to DTC for those ((Not sure, OHDC may have cans from their other breweries, but they didn't have the specific ones in wanted the one time I checked, necessitating a drive to Gaithersburg.

Also, DTC gets a number of other good breweries that don't ship to VA....Fourscore, Sapwood, Elder Pine, etc, and oddly more frequent shippings from the Veil and Triple Crossing than anyone else gets.

Are there any other stores in the DMV getting Other Half BKN and FLX cans? Maybe Churchkey?

Sidefoam didn't even know the biggest brewery opening on the east coast happened a few miles from his house, I doubt he's following the nuances of where different cans of haze from different locations of said brewery are being shipped*

*I doubt anyone is doing that except you space.

Maybe not anyone else on this board, but i think you vastly underestimate the beer geekiness of some people in the DMV.

I'm just aware of said fact because though they are owned by the same people, DTC gets a much more interesting and wider array of beer than Dominion. Other than those two stores, I don't follow the DMV beer distribution details.

I know this may come as a shock to you but this is about the only place I get beer news
I don’t recall anyone mentioning that other half was opening a brewery in dc

For the record for me it’s probably about the same round trip time to go to DTC vs OHDC
