Also, to clarify I'm not talking about beer like Chimay or Orval, more along the lines of "Old Engine Oil" or "Saison Dupont" or "Panil Barriquee." The kind of thing you could get at Brasserie Beck or Brickskeller. Thanks! Wed Dec 05 10:52:11 -0800 2007 25909 erinnf 1 3182220 Mrs. Shortorder buys me unusual beers at Arrowine, in Arlington. Although I'm not familiar with the ones you mentioned. Wed Dec 05 12:00:08 -0800 2007 3181947 48538 shortorder 1 3182301 Check out Cleveland Park liquors. They have a pretty awesome selection of great beers. I've also seen Saison Dupont in wholefoods along with some other good stuff.
