The Great Resurrection Bottle Chase

So the chase is on.

I went to The Perfect Pour in Columbia earlier today, and they didn't seem to have the Resurrection bottle shipment in. The employee I talked to seemed uncertain as to whether they'd receive it or not. Maybe that changes, and she said they take shipments daily until 5 PM so please report back if you locate it there.

Beer in Baltimore says Wells Liquors got in a shipment -- 10 cases, 120 bottles -- this morning. He also says they told him Bond Distributing got 400 cases, sold in two days to the various clients.

Personally I arrived at the source, Brewer's Art, at 4 sharp, to pick up a few bottles. Its a miserable day today, but thats alright, I got what I wanted. We'll see how long they last there.

Please report back here via comment or email if you find Resurrection anywhere else. Its a curiosity deal more than anything.

Update

HoCoJoe reports the following - Pine Orchard Liquors in Ellicott City has some in stock (5PM on 12/17/08)

Update #2

Reader Chodite also reports the following - Honeygo Wine & Spirits (aka import and craft beer heaven) as well as Swan Song Spirits. Both in Perry Hall, both have Resurrection in stock.

Thank you both!

Update #3

HoCoJoe adds: Perfect Pour now has it in stock.

Update #4

An addendum -- they're $12 at the source, just an FYI. PS its blistering cold out, I was at BA tonight they shut down the upstairs for a wedding but to/from my parking space about three blocks away just wow. Especially walking into the wind, you feel that kind of cold in your bones.

Update #5

Strawberriesinparis adds: My cousin got 7 bottles from Well's!

BBG says "excellent!" Should make for a hell of a party. I'm digging the label art, personally. Brewer's Art has a flair for the aesthetic with their tap handles, with the design on the bottle labels and the establishment itself.

Brewer's Art To Bottle Resurrection

Its one of the worst-kept secrets out there but stupidly (maybe for the better) I forgot to write about it: Brewer's Art will soon bottle is signature brew, Resurrection. It has been solidly reported at Beer in Baltimore and Midnight Sun. The special day? December 16. As always seems to be the case, it will be in a 750ml bottle, corked and caged. Awesome.

The Resurrection is a fantastic beer and will go great alongside their other bottled offerings: Ozzy, Le Canard and Green Peppercorn Tripel. Unlike the Canard, the Resurrection bottles should be hot sellers so be on the lookout for them.

For The Resurrection Fans

Not sure how many of you out there are fans of "Resurrection" made by Brewer's Art, but I'm absolutely in love with this beer.

Most of us don't live in the city so a trek to Brewer's Art, although desirable, is not a frequent thing. Luckily I've found at least two places in Columbia that regularly feature it: Frisco Grille (which is a GREAT beer place that I'll discuss later on) and the Greene Turtle.

Feel free to argue with me, but I think it's the best regular beer in Maryland (made by Maryland brewers). Its refreshing with some sort of subdued Belgian candy sweetness as well as some tartness/sourness and complexity that makes it incredibly drinkable and enjoyable no matter the weather.

Oh, bytheway, Brewers Art's "Ozzy" is now available in bottles at The Perfect Pour. I doubt they'll stay on the shelves long so be sure to trek over there and grab one or two.
