The Bruery used to have a store in DC. They’d still like one in the area. In the meantime, they’ve collaborated with a local distillery on a beer and a whisky.

Outside of California, no state has more Bruery memberships than Virginia. They'd like a local tasting room back. So would we, but we'll settle for whisky for now.

Many American versions of marzen are too sweet, so we’re going with a little bit more balance for our beer of the month with @arlbrew.bsky.social: @virginiabeerco.bsky.social Prost! Altbier.
Beer of the Month: Prost! Altbier from Virginia Beer Co. | DC Beer
"Altbier is to Düsseldorf as Kölsch is to Cologne," says Virginia Beer Co.'s brewmaster, Jonathan Newman. To which we might add, as Marzen is to Munich.

Wow, high volume bar in Boston kept getting under-delivered by AB during the World Cup so they've very publicly dropped their entire product line. I don't remember seeing anything quite like this before.
