Beerneuring – BAFS 2020

4 – DC Brau, Washington DC

Penn Quarter Porter – Not too shabby, good rich flavor. $2.50 pours on Friday nights.
In Session IPA- Nice and light after too many porters at said $2.50. A little lower alcohol. I’m not usually an IPA fan, but this one doesn’t hit you in the head bitter.

The Mexican Radio – So good! Dark and rich, yet light and easy. Brewed with ancho chilis that give you a great tingle.
I also tried a cask brew, no good. Only naturally carbonated and served at 55 degrees. Tasted like a miller lite that’d been left on the counter open all afternoon. Not my bag.
Go with the Radio.

Perfect places: I get the mango but not the black pepper

Turning Road: good. Your mom is grassy and floral
Freak Scene: I’m getting grapefruit, which is NOT in the description

Jan 25 at Old Ox. Got the I am Brut, an IPA “brewed with natural flavors.” Dry and grassy. Quite refreshing.

Jan 25 at Lost Rhino. Opted for a dark beer this time, the Shooter McMunn’s, a dry Irish stout. Perfect for a dreary damp day and at 4% ABV will allow me to navigate through cartopia back to the WOD. Roasty and malty with a slightly bitter finish.

Jan 25 at Beltway Brewing. Got the Old Town Brown, a brown ale. A bit sweeter than I prefer but a nice malty chocolate bitter finish.

Jan 25 at the Sterling Crooked Run. Got the Bali, an American IPA brewed with rice milk. (!?!) Lots of tropical fruit ( pineapple and mango?) and a nice hoppy finish. I like this one!

Jan 25 at Rocket Frog. Got the Angry, Angry Alice because I like imperial IPAs and I was angry that it was way more damp than I had planned for when I left my house this morning. A little disappointed with Alice though…just not a lot going on with it other than the “let’s up the IBUs” trend which I thought we had finally passed. Oh well.

I find myself at Granite City Brewery made my way thru Alexandria and a quick chat with Matt H! I’m having a flight of all the beers brewed here and Brussel Sprout appetizer…
I like the Zug Zwang because of its vanilla after taste and since it’s a dark beer makes me feel like a real beer drinker!

Brewery was totally empty when we got there. It was kind of nice.
Coat of Many Colors: pleasantly sour

Sunburst Finish: great nose. Fine beer
Ravaged by Wolves: just a delightful beer

Just want to mention that in 2018 when I won this contest I got to 28 breweries, while it’s now January 25 and you’ve been to 21. I think you’re my wife’s hero.

Zug Zwag vanilla porter: smells good. Tastes decent
[ATTACH=CONFIG]20963[/ATTACH]
Wicked juicy IPA: tastes like grapefruit juice. Would not recommend
The Duke pale ale: solid. Citrus.

This place was kind of dirty and the service was not great. They weren’t busy, they just seemed not to be doing much. And they were out of more than half their beers. And the ride there is not all that awesome.

This was at National Harbor right! I liked that Zug Zwag too!

Yeah, my first time at National Harbor. Kind of like The Wharf, but with less soul and walkability, which is quite a feat.
