The Brickskeller

This bar has apparently been a DC Beer destination for over 50 years. I have seen it on my beer calendar since moving in but had not managed to make it over until Saturday night. Our friend Brenda was in town, and she was meeting up with someone she had not seen since highschool who coincidentally was visiting DC with his family the same weekend. So after briefly rendezvousing at Lauriol Plaza for dinner and margaritas, we headed here for a few beers. Their beer menu runs into the hundreds with representatives from just about every beer producing nation. Not every beer is in stock, as we stumbled across a couple that were not, but considering the ones that were are impressive. I had a St Bernardus Tripel from Belgium followed by a Great Lakes IPA. Sam tried a Lime Shandy (Half Beer half soda with lime), a nice refreshing drink allowing you to endure a long day of drinking.
