Hey all, had the tasting last night, 15 beers were had, I am still in DC, I brought along 3 Carlow Brewing brews and some Celebration stout (I am between houses and didn't have time to bring a lot) but wait till ya see what the lads gave me to take home!!!!!!! I am in the lobby of the hotel here on the piss and I will post later, but there were some savage brews last night. I now see however how the US guys have thousands of ratings.. they literally sample a couple of thumbfulls of each beer!

oh the envy!!!

And to top it all off, a pal of mine shipped to me from LA the following:

Avery Mephistopheles Stout
Avery Samaels Oak-Aged Ale
Clipper City Heavy Seas Peg Leg
Watou Tripel
St. Bernardus Abt 12
Bells Expedition Stout

I also have beers from the tasting at home too and I had a Dogfish Head World Wide Stout last night, blew my socks off 18% !!

Sounds like you have access to a great selection there garthicus!

Ah Jesus, I wish I'd seen this. I am in Washington DC, I would have met for a couple of scoops. Never mind going for a couple of pints with folks from home.

There is another place too, RFD, got tons of beer on tap.

Don't know if you are still overhere, if you are, drop me a message, I'll take you down to Total Wine, so you can get some micros to take with you.

They have about 300 micro brews (about 6 shelves high per stack, and about 10 stacks), sorted by region

Let me know if you're still around

Cheers
Gavin

Ahhh $hite! I am home and all, I went to RFD for dinner and beers too, Hopefully I will be back soon and I will give you a shout!
