They've got it at the Brickskeller in D.C. near DuPont Circle (along with
about 800 or so other bottled beers). I've got the bottle sitting above my
writing desk. Not a bad beer, although you ceratinly have to like the
stronger flavor of the rye mash instead of wheat. Thurn und Taxis Roggen
is the name to ask for there.
