They had the Dominion Brewing Company, a Virginia-based brewer, brew the Hop Pocket. However, a couple of years ago, the Dominion owners sold their brewery (the Dominion name and beers still exist, but are simply being brewed and sold by another brewer), and Bob and Ellie went looking for another brewer. Two years later, they've found another brewer, and Tupper's will officially be back on the market. They are having parties in the area to celebrate its return in the next few weeks. The first is at Hard Times in Bethesda on Jan. 19th, and then the DC Brickskellar bar on the 20th. I'm going to the latter event.

If you live in the area and haven't tried Tupper's, I recommend its purchase when its finally back on area beer shelves. More info about the upcoming events through the link below.

F*ing Sweet...met Bob at beer festival in Richmond bout 7-8 years ago and I was already a big fan...really nice guy and was shocked to see him pouring his own beers at his booth, it was a cool thrill. When Tuppers went away I was pissed, this is great news...over the holidays me and this guy were talking bout when he might comeback or if gone forever...great news. Anyone who likes good beers, this is one you have to try, it was a staple for years and will be again.
