Belair area, maybe WineWorld off of rt24 (Abingdon) or Jim's Bottles up RT1 near Hickory. I understand that Stone's Brewery is about to be distributed in the area, so can Russian River be far behind?

The Brickskeller (RFD's sister beer bar near Dupont) has several other Russian River beers in bottles, but not the Pliny the Elder. Other places that *might* have it include Rustico (http://www.rusticorestaurant.com/bar.htm) in Alexandria or Birreria Paradiso (http://www.eatyourpizza.com/about_birreria_paradiso.php) in Georgetown. If they don't, there are other great beers there (and good food), so it wouldn't be a total loss. :) As for a store, the broadest selection in DC is at Chevy Chase Wine & Spirits (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1760). The Vienna Whole Foods (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/4086) also has an excellent selection. Excellent choice in a West Coast DIPA, by the way. Its one of my favorites.

They have a huge beer selection Wed Sep 05 18:10:42 -0700 2007 2903923 124764 dining with doc 2 2923847 My beerlist from Max's taproom doesn't list any Russian River beers currently, although things do change....
