From The Public Option:
“As winter sets in, The Public Option is taking a pause to reflect on our journey over the past eight years. We’re exploring potential directions for the future, including the possibility of evolving into a community-based cooperative or a non-profit arts venture.
We’re open this weekend: Friday, Saturday, Sunday (12/15 – 12/17) with punk bands playing Friday & Sunday, and Saturday we’re featuring a southern rock band.” Read More

We’ve selected the local seaonals below, available together exclusively at metrobar for this event. And, in addition to the tasting, we’ll have all 12 available to buy as full pours. If you have some favorites, the can and bottle options will also be available to purchase to-go in mix & match 4-packs (while supplies last).
From spiced ales, to dark lagers, to coffee stouts, to DIPAs, there’s a beer for everyone’s taste, including: Read More

Almost exactly a year ago we learned that a Dog Haus Biergarten was coming to the former Chipotle, which closed under Boqueria in 2021 and moved to Connecticut Ave. A peek inside the space now reveals lots of progress: Read More
I still can’t believe we’ve been doing this for 17 years!?! Time flies as they say. Alas, kinda like during the heat of the pandemic, it doesn’t feel like a super celebratory time – but that’s the nice thing about beer – you can have one in good times and in bad/sad. As I said last time – I do want to thank you for sticking around for so many years!
Please do keep your tips, emails, photos etc. coming! [[email protected] or @PoPville on social media.] I couldn’t do this without you guys. And if you are in place to contribute to our long term survival please consider joining our Patreon. Whether you are able to give $2 or $20 a month it all helps. And you’ll get a bonus PoPville Plus + post every Wednesday. Got some good scuttlebutt for you in today’s plus +.
Another good way to help out is to sign up for our free daily newsletter so you never miss a post. If you want to pick up a shirt or other merch you can do so here.
So nothing too crazy this year, just heading back to a spot close to my heart before they close this location – so maybe see a few of you at Looking Glass Lounge tomorrow night (3634 Georgia Ave, NW I’ll be there around 6-10pm.) Cheers!
From Atlas (tickets here):
“From 12- 5pm, enjoy all beers for $5, a variety of food trucks, live music, and a dunk tank with proceeds going to charity. Your $20 ticket includes your first beer! Read More
