I think the worst of the beer geeks have moved on from Aslin and now consider it second rate. Sure, there's better competition but I wouldn't turn my nose up at them.

Same goes for the Veil and whatnot.  Just stupid.

I've just moved on from hazy beers, primarily due the waistline and when I do buy it, I go Other Half which is far superior and easier to get for this MoCo guy vs. Aslin.

You said you're not drinking at al right now, but what diet beers do you recommend?

Michelob Ultra
High Life
Stella
Rolling Rock
Silver Branch Glass Castle
Suarez
Rothaus Pils

High Life is great.  Problem is, after drinking DIPAs they tend to go down way too quickly.

i have yet to taste a non-alcoholic beer that tastes like a proper beer, then again i've never tasted a craft version. 

Two local breweries are making craft beer without the buzz

in case anyone was wondering what they can pick/have delivered from Blue Jacket: https://mailchi.mp/bluejacketdc/fullymadfat-super

Thanks.  Hadn't even thought about them.  Ordered some.

Stopped by the Other Half DC the other day to enjoy a beverage in their nice outdoor beer garden.
Excellent stuff…almost too much selection. Wish I didn't have to drive

Look at wealthy sidehalf buying $10 pints in a pandemic at a covid hotspot. You could've bought a case of beer for the cost of those pours!!!

I want to say the 16 oz cans were $7, but after tax/tip…
I don't even think back in the 90s you could get a case of the beast for that

I will still stand by my statement that $160 is too much for a six pack of beer (yes some were 22oz)

Only 4 to 6 bucks a can of you take a four pack home and drink it safely there.

I did a pickup there and I must say it's the worst OH location of the three I've been to…. Finger Lakes being the clear winner ..

And I'll stand by my statement that comparing those bottles to a regular six pack is uninformed.

Worst but still nice? Worst and a complete dump?

Oh, and I just spent $10 per can to have Bluejacket delivered to my house. Wouldn’t normally do that but it’s a pandemic and breweries/people are struggling. No regrets whatsoever.

I suppose if I deducted the time it would take to go get them myself then it’s not a bad deal at all. My time is not free, y’all’s mmv.

Dumpy inconvenient part of town. Can't comment on the beer garden since I did curbside, though sidehutch gives it the thumbs up.

yeah, Ivy city sucks, but it's not bad if you are coming in from MD

it's like two blocks from Atlas, but in that hip and trendy block with City Winery
If you were in that area after dark 30 years ago…would have been dramatically different, now it looks like Bethesda

that is fair, but I like making the comparison for hyperbolic value

I totally agree, that was always my argument for drycleaning
But my time is cheap now there is nothing to do

Almost like reviewing a concert you never attended.

Not at all. I love the Finger Lakes place because of the beautiful country drive getting there. I like the original Brooklyn place because it was within walking distance of a nice area where we had a nice airbnb. The DC place is in Ivy City, just off New York Avenue, in a shitty area.

I guess I misinterpreted your post, I didn't realize you were actually specifying location on a map. I thought you meant the over all description of the brewery/tap house. I for one can say it's MUCH better than the shithole Other Half location in BK without ever being at the one in DC.
