i did a beer trip to d.c. myself just a couple of weeks ago. rick’s wine and gourmet at 3117 duke st across the river in alexandria was pretty solid. i found some of the local beers i was looking for and bell’s 2 hearted ale from mi. not sure it is worth going way out of your way, but if you are down there it is definitely worth a look. i’ll be at the festival this weekend so i may see you there. — josh

Chevy Chase Wine most likely has the largest selection in the area. If you are in Adams Morgan, stop by De
Vinos (http://de-vinos.com/) on 18th Street. It’s a very cool, locally owned, wine and specialty beer shop
with great service and a knowledgeable staff. I go there weekly to pick up Belgium beauties.

Enjoy DC!

According to BeerTravelers.com the following looks very promising:

Chevy Chase Wine & Spirits, 5544 Connecticut Ave. N.W., 202-363-4000
A small, narrow storefront, literally packed with beer, wine and liquor. Most of the beer kept cold. More than 850 available.

Thank you all for the recommendations. However, as I said in the original post, I’m not looking for brewery, brewpub or even bar recommendations; I need to find a good LIQUOR STORE so I can bring beer back with me. Please recommend a retail shop instead, please

Take a stroll over to the DC-Beer email list:
http://www.dc-beer.org/mailman/listinfo/dc-beer

It’s an incredible collection of people from the DC/Baltimore area who can tell you all that is going on. Evidently there’s a few new places that are definitely worth stopping in.

Also, if you shoot me an email I’ll forward you a listing of local events.
