I forgot to say my favorite DC brewery shut down. RIP 3 Stars (gotta go out and buy all the peppercorn saison I can find!)
It was definitely the finest DC-only brewery. Other Half and Solace have come to DC and added good beers, and have solid locations and facilities. But 3 Stars was consistently great. Loved the lemon citra saison. Big loss for DC.
I went Sunday night for a couple hours before the last last call. Saw the head brewer chug an imperial stout on the bar. Saw another bar owner buy the bar a round with a stack of hundreds. Saw lots of old staff reuniting and getting ready to party after the place shut down to the public. I managed to snag a few cases of my favs, including some of the older bottle releases. I was a little bummed they were out of merch. I'll miss it.
