D’Vines opened up in Columbia Heights way back in 2008.

Ed. Note: Their phone number listed is now disconnected.

“Dear PoPville,

Went to D’Vines last Tuesday and the shelves were pretty bare. The clerk said they were closing last Thursday, but didn’t know anything more. Their website says nothing.” Read More

In honor of today’s glorious holiday falling on a Friday – let’s dedicate today’s question to beer of course. My current favorite local seasonal is The Precious One from Atlas. So good. My favorite beer currently pound for pound delicious and consistent is Dogfish Head 90 minute. My current favorite lager mass produced is a tie between Pacifico and Spaten. You guys?

And of course – celebrate safely today! Sláinte

From Atlas Brew Works:

“Atlas Brew Works is excited to release a seasonal favorite, The Precious One, this February. The popular apricot-infused IPA will be available in both tap rooms and throughout the market on Wednesday, February 1. The solar-powered brewery will celebrate with a release event at the Half Street Brewery & Tap Room on Saturday, February 4, and free game play with a Mario Kart competition at the Ivy City Brewery & Tap Room on Saturday, February 18. With a 6.4% ABV, take a sip of The Precious One and let the apricot notes blossom atop a hoppy base for a delicately sweet bouquet of flavor.
