I havent seen Manor Hills IPA on the shelves in over a month and every RAR Nanticoke either doesnt have a dob date or has a 7/11/16 date.

Got some more wicked weed (gose and golden ale), disappointed i havent seen Pernicious yet.

Yet again, only real fresh IPA beer I could find was grapefruit sculpin.

Manor Hill has had some reopening issues and their reopen got pushed back till October-November due to the flood in July. I read that in Mid Atlantic Brewing News. http://mabnonline.brewingnews.com/publication/?i=346275#{"issue_id":346275,"numpages":1,"page":1 }

Hopefully when they get back on track quality improves.

Thats interesting, thanks for the share.

Bells Expedition stout is available at perfect pour. Expensive at 19.99 a sixer but they had about 4 cases. I think I am going to drink a sixer then put a sixer in the coldest part of my basement to try next year. I tried a 2014 and it was really really really good.

is expedition a one time release or seasonal? I couldnt find the answer on line.

It's a once a year release. Not a seasonal.

Well I need to load up then, thanks mike. Had a bottle last night and this is my kind of stout. Having tried a 2014 cellar one and now a fresh one, letting this stout sit for a few years really makes a huge difference, much more mealy and bodied. fresh is really good too.

Tried a farmhouse/saison bottle from Hill Farmstead/braisserie last night and it was really good. Like beer champaigne but much more mellow and smoother than any saisaon/farm i have ever tried. Going to save the second bottle for a special moment, might have to try and get a few more bottles for the holidays coming up. if they are still there. this is a beer that non beer drinkers would enjoy. light, crisp, subtle flavors, nothing overpowering or off putting.

praire bomb - had a bottle last night, not as good as i remember but that was after splitting a bottle of the saison above. def not worth the 12.99 i paid for one 12 oz.

its like a beer explosion around the DMV with all these new breweries suddenly on the shelves.
