Craft Beer shopping recs for Arrington region & north

Post by Deleted on Jul 20, 2016 9:12:11 GMT -5
In the past I have been in a hurry to get away from the Lockn' hustle and bustle on Monday, and have waited to make a big beer buying stop until Total Wine in McLean or Arlington, maybe 3 hours north. Total Wine does a fine job of showing what is brought into areas by the big distributors (lots of West Coast stuff that does not hit New England especially), but wondering if anyone has a rec on a store that might have even more local and regional stuff to hit going North? Not keen on trying to squeeze into Charlottesville, but would if we must.

It has a lot of national distributors but also a good number of locals.
There are a number of breweries where you could hit the tasting room and load up, but Beer Run is the best if you want a variety selection.
For those stopping on the way in they also have a pretty good selection of canned beers.

Blue Ridge, Devil's Backbone and Starr Hill are all nearby if you want a brewery but time-wise a good store makes more sense.
C'ville may be an easy stop if school's not in yet. Even the grocery stores will have good variety.

This is what you need to know about Charlottesville.
While I was in school in Williamsburg, the back to school displays in the stores for the college students were all notebooks and calculators. But my girlfriend at the time (the relationship terminated in marriage) lived in Charlottesville and the displays were like this:

Follow-up question:
We are staying in Charlottesville on Wednesday night now, so we can be in line nice and early without staying in DC with friends like we usually do.
Going for grub @ South Street Brewery.
Would your Charlottesville, without leaving downtown, breweries without food rankings follow: 1.) Three Notch'd, 2.) Champion, then 3.) C'ville-ian?
Might not be able to make all of them, so trying to prioritize. Thanks in advance.

But how about this: every beer pub in C'ville--indeed every restaurant that's clued in--will feature all of the local beers. So instead of going to one company's gig, go where they have 20+ taps. Then you can get Starr Hill (dark starr) and Blue Ridge (steel wheels ESB).

Champion is a nice location but I don't personally luke most of their beer.
Cvillian is a little hold in the wall on main st. they recently hired a new brew master. the old one had a poor reputation. Ive never been personally.
waiting for Hardwood to open their room.
