I cut out early this afternoon to ride since it’s such a Beautiful day, and it dawned on me that I’ve yet to collect a beerneuring point at Cap City Brewery in Shirlington, even though I blast by on the nearby 4MR trail on a regular basis. So I stopped and ordered a Prohibition Porter. As the menu says “traditional English style ruby-brown Ale with pronounced chocolate malt character.” I couldn’t agree more. Especially the chocolate part. Delightful.

Last week I stopped by Franklin’s in Hyattsville MD and took a test flight of their many concoctions. My favorites were the 13th Anniversary Larger and Oatmeal Stout. I really didn’t like the Cheery Picker, nor did I fancy much the Private IPA. The Hop Zen was OK. See the menu pic for a worthy description of their brews.

One always does better when they have leverage:-)

I went to Bardo’s after the Vasa ride and tried the Imperial black ipa and dremo (dry-hopped), with a little help from my friends. Both were delicious. But then again, what wouldn’t be after cycling 76 miles?!

Click “Like” if you would like to celebrate the post-Vasa ride party (after having blueberry soup, of course) at Bardo’s (http://bardodc.com/) for a beerneuring opportunity. Bardo’s is about 4.5 miles from the House of Sweden, and we can get there by crossing DC on L street for most of the way. Bardo’s (1200-1216 Bladensburg Rd, NE. DC) opens at 1 pm on Sundays. Estimated time of departure from House of Sweden will be somewhere between 12:30pm to 1pm (subject to change)

I got treated to this beautiful sunset at Hains Point last night at Hammerfest, after which I commuted home, bumped into SteveO, got diverted to World of Beers, got home late, slept in this morning, and missed FCC. Damn SteveO!

I will be there to alert Park Police that SteveO may allegedly be packing a bottle of Lemoncello.
