Damn, that sucks, dude. They're growing like never before, so they're going to reduce availability? What kind of (drunken?) rationale is that?
And thanks for the recs, Jacob, I'll definitely take those notes with me -- all of my favorite beer joints, Norm's in Virginia, Perfect Pour and Belby's in Maryland, Total Wine, Whole Foods, Wegman's, etc. -- all are pretty good about beer, too, so I'll definitely look for all of those.
