Stopped in to my favorite DC Irish Pub — RiRa’s in Arlington.  I’ve been visiting this place for the last 3 years … I’m a member of the Pint Club and actually have my name on the plaque showing a finished one of the beer cycles.  I’m on my second card now.

Since I was there I thought I might as well add to my card: today’s beer? Anchor Steam Beer.  This beer went very well with my Smoked Cheese Burger … it was quite refreshing.  This particular bottle I had seemed to have a distinct alcohol taste … almost metallic — I’m not sure if that was the hop profile and I’ve been so used to IPAs that it threw me off or if it was something else.  I’m going to have to give this beer another try.
