To say I’m excited about this would be a bit of understatement, to say I’ve dreamed of this my whole life would be a bit of an overstatement, to say I’m absolutely stoked would be spot on. If you told me 16 years ago, Prince of Petworth/PoPville would be what it is today, well, I couldn’t have imagined it in my wildest dreams. The community/communities that have emerged is my greatest joy. My second greatest joy is this beer!!! Not many people know this about me but from time to time I like to enjoy a beer – every day at 5pm sharp to be precise. To have the opportunity to celebrate 16 years with our own beer is pretty special. I’m super grateful to the folks at Atlas Brew Works who took my pie in the sky idea and turned it into a damn fine brew.

So first, a little bit about the PoPville cedar IPA. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I am looking for a specific beer – what would be the best way to find which store in DC might carry it other than simply calling every store to check? The beer in question is Echigo Koshihikari beer in case any readers wish to help me out. I’ve already checked TotalWine and Drizly and several other Google results.”
