Man, that all sounds good…problem is I spent too much time at Twain’s last night, oh well.
You can add: Terrapin “Substance Abuse” (American Double aged in Jack Daniels Barrels) to that list. It will be tapped @9pm downstairs along with the Victoria upstairs in the Belgian Bar.
Twas epic indeed. I was ring side from 12-9p watching the thirsty crowd drain each keg in 10 minutes or less. Some people did not get to try some of the kegs, but everyone seemed pretty cool even though it was packed & humid inside. Brick Store Mike gave 2 toasts and mentioned that next year they will get full-size kegs (15 gal) instead of the 5 gallon kegs from this year. When Mike toasted the crowd at 9pm, on the hour that they first opened up the doors 12 years ago, he announced that everyone would get a 5oz pouring of Terrapin’s Substance Abuse “on the house.” This beer was damn good…Substance Abuse = Terrapin’s “regular” Wake & Bake Coffee Imperial Stout aged in a Jack Daniels barrel.
I enjoyed the first 2 the most of the 11 that I tried. The “Paul’s Day Off” was aged in a 21 year-old Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrel and was amazingly complex. Sweetwater’s Bordeaux barrel aged Belgian-style IPA was unbelievable, and kicked in 7 minutes.
Sorry I missed it but we were in Friday night early and the crowd was building then. Best bar south of DC for my money.
what bar in dc is better than the brick store? there are some great ones up here in the district, but I’m pining for the brick store no matter where I rest my bones.
Not better but still good establishments. Brickskellar and Brasserie Beck’s.
Love the Brick too.
