Eh, the DC area's pretty disappointing tap-wise. There's more or less a
giant dead zone in between Arlington and Old Dominion out in Ashburn with
only a few options like Hard Times or Lost Dog to get something decent on
draft. Cap City's OK and I'm not a huge Swee****er fan (I live right
near it and never go), but I'm largely annoyed that there isn't a better
bar scene here in suburbian hell.

Uh, yeah, well. It's like the Brick, except without the charm, and it's
got lousy expensive food instead of lousy cheap food. I go there for
beer dinners and tastings, and eat in Chinatown first. Then again, I
live a half-mile outside the Beltway, so my credibility's probably shot.
