I dislike Oberon, but that’s just me. I also think Bell’s Amber is better than two-hearted… is that allowed??

I agree. I find it so strange when people complain about Alexandria, as if it were some awful place on earth. It’s got a lot going for it and I never understand why anyone would complain. I get that people like the convenience of stepping outside and having bars, restaurants, etc. right outside your door – and that’s cool, too. But Alexandria is hardly a war-zone or some place with only a tree as your neighbor.

Yeah, Old Town’s ok for visiting once in a while. Most of the shops and restaurants are expensive, and there’s not much going on after 8pm, but the architecture’s charming and it’s near the water. Just don’t try to live there unless you’re grouchy, over the age of 70, and wealthy.

I disagree. Old Town is wonderful. It isn’t DC, but it’s charming and has a lot of great restaurants and some great small businesses. And I am a self-respecting Washingtonian.

How much are they now selling DC Brau at local bars, did the price go up?

The higher taxes don’t make up for the 50 or more percent price premium in DC. The local brewers are pricing to the upmarket as well by distributing their product at higher end bars. DC Brau, I’m looking right at you.

Talking about DC’s ridiculous beer prices is verboten on PoP. You’l be lambasted by White Knights of the $9 Craft Beer Order.

Whoohoo, thanks for the heads up, PoP. In DC, Oberon seems to be more popular than Two Hearted, Amber, and other year round Bell’s. That’s one thing I miss about Michigan, having all the varieties of Bell’s on tap at every bar!

Bell’s Two Hearted is our favorite beer as well. And Blue Banana has it on tap every day of the week for $4 which I think is a pretty sweet deal. Certainly worth the extra $1 to not have to drive to Old Town.
