Heading up to D.C. next week what are some breweries I should check out in the DMV area that I should check out?

DC Brau, Solace, Aslin, Veil and Commonwealth make my favorite local IPAs. I can't vouch for the experience at the breweries, though.

Bluejacket is a pretty good spot if you are near the ballpark. Good selection of different beer styles and decent food options.

Churchkey and Sovereign are good beer bars. If you want a higher end dinner experience than Churchkey's elevated bar food, eat downstairs at Birch & Barley. You can order any of the beers from upstairs.

Edit - I suppose Commonwealth's brewery isn't really local, as Virginia Beach is 4 hours away. Still good beers and you can find them locally.

I really enjoyed Bluejacket when I was there a few years ago.

I've visited Commonwealth. Very low key, open air with picnic tables. Agree on the IPAs. Very good.

Any of you guys in the Austin area interested a beer fridge or two? I have two of these that are in great shape. They are the "all fridge" models, meaning there is no freezer portion at the top. I'll sell them for $100 each. If you buy one (or both) I'll include the stand I built to stack them as well.

Danby Compact Fridge, 4.4 cu ft

Here is a pic of them in action:

A near perfect 'clear' IPA, West Coast style.

Yeah, well, sometimes nothing is a real cool hand

I was recently wondering if people around Texas and this thread were still into that beer, I hadn't seen it in a long time!

I assume it's not posted about as much anymore because it's readily available. Not too long ago you had to get to the store somewhat quickly after it hit shelves.

Still think it's my favorite local IPA. I know Pinthouse makes good **** but prefer a good batch of Yellow Rose.

A few beers remain from my 2018 MM haul. Think this one was from Maca.

Good stuff

I check the date on the bottles most times I'm in H-E-B. If the date is within the last month, I usually pick up a 4 pack.

A local buddy makes them and raffles them off in a group on FB. He does amazing work.

Let me reach out to my buddy. He's friends with the owner so shouldn't be a problem.

Hit up some old west coast haunts yesterday. Got some lunch Plinys at West 4th and Jane. Then hit El Segundo Brewing Company for some Stone Cold Steve Austin Broken Skull IPA and a Power Plant Triple IPA - for my money the most well balanced Triple IPA after PtY.

Then hit the Library Alehouse, but their tap list and vibe isn't what it used to be.

We ended up at Firestone Walker Friday night. We had a bunch of stuff but the highlights were their Bretta Blanc from the barrel series, and 2020 Parabola poured over a bowl of vanilla ice cream.

Yesterday I made it over to Silva brewing. It's a small operation that Chuck Silva, formerly of Green Flash, has in Paso Robles. He has a west coast IPA that is phenomenal. It's super heavy on the Citra, and IMO was as good or slightly better than the Pliny I stumbled on while walking to dinner.

We'll be hitting SARA this afternoon on our way back into SJC.
